| 2002 ELECTIONS - A Con(ker)clusion |

|
Hello dear readers, Celia here As I�m sure you are aware, the general elections for 2002 have been and gone. On the evening on Saturday the 28th of July Helen Clarke was re-elected as the nations Prime Minister. Well that�s what you were told. In reality, I, Celia, representing CeliaSays actually received 89.5% of votes, enough to make me something of bull in a china shop, so to speak. So why am I not Prime Minister, I hear you ask. Well, after half an hour of deliberation, and despite much coaxing on behalf of the agents and Tom, I decided not to accept the position. For I realised that if I were to become Prime Minister, who�d run CeliaSays? New Zealand is a great place, but it�s not the same CeliaSays. I know that I really should have thought about this earlier, before I actually won, but someone once sung a song called �You Don�t Know What You�ve Got Until It�s Gone.� I can�t remember who, (DeLunTrash would know but she�s teaching Tom how to work the video player) but that�s how I felt. Therefore, I informed my advisors of my decision, who in turn informed Helen, as well as Paul and Mike back in the studio. And instead, accepted the more humble, but manageable role of Member of Parliament. And that�s my story. Not as exciting as it could have been, but exciting all the same. And if you are thinking that I am a very foolish person, remember that if I am not here, then neither is this site. And what a sorry world that would be. So may this be the start of a long, happy future for the political aspect of CeliaSays. As Winston Peters said last night; �CeliaSays, the Underdog that caught up, won the race then got away because it saw something else that�d rather be doing, say an ice cream van for example.� Celia xxx |
