120 Seconds to Get Elected

2006 NR 2m 6.1

A politician has just a couple of minutes to convince people to vote for him, and tries to seduce his audience with promises he thinks they want to hear.

A politician, giving a speech, has 120 seconds to convince the crowd to vote for him. Making quick calculations based on their cheers and jeers, he moves away from promising jobs (that will result in money and happiness, but that take work) to promises to lower taxes, send the poor to work camps, and raise money for the army. His final platform: "Do you want to be rich now? Vote for me." The crowd goes wild. Written by
