Did your school ever do mock elections? We had students go through the entire Canadian parliamentary system, platforms based on current events, debates, followed by the entire school voting. And at the end they were just “Well here’s the results, cool huh? Well, that’s that.”

Little did I know how realistic that last part actually was.

    I was never too interested in it, but one year someone wrote my name down on the sign up list to run for class representative. I don’t even know who it was, but someone nominated me lol. So I figured if someone wanted me to be the representative then I would do it. But that was the year for some reason they decided to scrap the whole class rep thing before the election even happened. Amazing.
