Great job guys. That certainly is an impressive amount of lego. The candidates are going to need a plan of attack.

They’ll just form a committee; plan for 2 and a half hours and then spend the last 30 minutes piss-farting around trying to complete something none of them can agree on…

The approach to the Lego will be telling. Some will have planned. Personally I hope some are brave enough to be spontaneous and playful.

But we are talking about pollies and potential pollies.

No votes,

We record the build, and the candidate explains what they think they’ve done.

The rest is up to the audience.

Voting is done on election day.

I have only just become interested in this, even though it’s been on RA for quite some time. If this has been said before I’m sorry, I haven’t gone through the archives.
Haven’t the politicians of our present time already played with Lego. the result being most of the newer suburbs in Gungahlin?

Nice work!

Will you consider using lego to recreate or replay significant local events? I’m really enjoying some of the Olympics coverage:

How many kilolegos did you end up with ?

Candidates will be lucky to use a 3rd of that stash in 3 hrs, even with a helper. You’d be surprised how much time is spent looking for the right piece when it’s all mixed up like that. Even worse when you’re trying to colour co-ordinate as well.

I hope it’s not all bulldozers, cars and trains. I’ll be disappointed if one of the candidates were to attempt their own take on Belco’s phallic owl, but didn’t have the pieces to pull it off.
