Title: Choose the Mayor of Warsaw!
Post by: Martinus on November 10, 2014, 03:59:55 AM
We are electing the Warsaw mayor on Sunday. Extra points for identifying the incumbent, who is likely to win without a need for a run-off (i.e. likely to get more than 50% of the initial vote).

No gay ones, as far as I am aware, but the one you chose is the most fuckable. Plus he is actually gay friendly.

I think each Polish city should have two mayors. One to specialize in reading; the other in writing.

I believe it is generally a community effort. The mayor holds the bulb while the village attempts to spin the building. They usually begin just before dawn and know they have achieved success when they see light.
