Monster Raving Loony Party candidate Jamie Hampton was declared the winner of this Year’s 10 Mock Election at The Venerable Bede Academy, Ryhope, Sunderland. This was following a fortnight of campaigning. The final stage of the election saw all six candidates take to the soap box and deliver passionate speeches for their parties. The Labour Party stole the show with an enthusiastic display, until final candidate Jonathon Pallas took the stand and swayed many of the voters towards UKIP. In the end though it was The Monster Raving Loony Party that forged ahead to win by 8 votes. A delighted Jamie ‘Sheik My Hand’ Hampton declared, ‘it’s a great day for the future, let’s party. All six parties gave superb campaigns and displays including the darker side of politics with smear campaigns and the kidnapping of the Green Party candidate, Adam Hart.
Jamie now has the power, during the final week of term, to veto detentions on behalf of Year 10, as well as placing up to 5 students onto monitoring report, and allocating 5 gold star badges to students that he feels are deserving.
The final result was as follows;
Monster Raving Loony Party: 52
UKIP: 44
Labour: 26
Lib  Dem: 14
Green: 10
Conservative: 0
