Was that me? Or was it... somepony else?

Election season has hit Ponyville! With the mayoral election churning into high gear, it seems the only two ponies in Ponyville who don't want Twilight Sparkle to be the new mayor are the current mayor and Twilight Sparkle!

Thank princess there is no democracy in Equestria :trollestia:

twilight: pinkie I-

Pinie: CLEAN UP EVERYPONY!

Twilight::facehoof:

803042 Quick Twilight say you've decided to drop out and endorse the Mayor in her unopposed re-election campaign, it's the only way you can stop this. :fluttercry:

Sounds like a lot of hoopla over a little cockatrice right? WRONG! :flutterrage:

Nicely done. Intelligently written, although the last plot twist came somewhat out of nowhere, it still made sense with what else has happened. Also, I was expecting the conflict between Twilight and Pinkie to be a little more sustained, and for the election tilting back in favor of the current mayor because of mismarked ballots.

Still favorited. Love seeing stories regarding the Mayor.

802989 Oh there is, anyone else think that if this were a presidential election Twilight would have made a great running mate for the Mayor? :twilightsmile:

Be honest, how much self control did it take you not to call this chapter "Master Debaters"?

803279 A lot. Quite nearly all of it. :twilightsheepish:

803246 Miss Mayor definitely needs more love.

Damn Ponies United decision allowing Pinkie to make a PAC. Worst decision Celestia ever made.

I like it. Politics is funny thing - you don't want to be mayor but you forced to, so may as well enjoy the ride.. Glad to see Twi was level-headed and didn't throw Mayor out. But next year she'll totally have expirience from all vice-mayor work, so beware, Mayor Mare!

Just kidding. :D

Nicely done, mate. The one thing that really nailed it for me is the debate, how Twilight had a slightly rough start, and how she came up with simple solutions to the problems addressed. I don't know it just really made the story for me.

Cheers, mate. You earned my upvote.

Aww, I had a "Pinkie Pie just drew a giant smiley face on the ballot, didn't she :facehoof:" comment all ready to go, and then you went ahead and ruined it.

804898 Nope. Pinkie Pie realized that the one pony who could throw the best party was none other than Pinkie Pie herself. :pinkiecrazy:

I like stories about Mayor Mare. Good job.

Pleasing and with an ending that was unexpected but nicely non-twisty. Very good.

Write on! :twilightsmile:

Pinky......why are you brilliant when it causes trouble for ponies, but completely ridiculous otherwise.........PINKY:twilightangry2::facehoof:

debate+Twilight trying to win=mayor needs help

Vice-Mayor WHAT THE HELL?!!!!!!

*Facepalm* Twilight you unintentional wretch XD

Cute but very anticlimactic feel to it. I would've preferred if there was continuation after this.

I can only laugh at Spike, Twilight told him this would happen and what do you know, it bloody happened. So buckle down and deal with it. (You may have guessed but Spike isn't my favorite character.

Twilight now WILLINGLY participating in her own campaign?

The Mayor is in trouble :twilightoops:

Twilight a good politician? Naaaah, she's too honest :ajsmug:

CCC

Nice story. Very well written.

I liked the ending.

Interesting. I felt like the ending (in rough lines, not the specifics) was too telegraphed, but still a nice read.

You might want to consider double spacing with each paragraph, such as after one character speaks, double space then have the other character say her line. Otherwise, this is looking good so far.

Quite a disappointing ending here. I would think Twilight would have known about this obscure statute regarding her not being eligible to run for mayor in the very beginning. Also, given that Twilight finished first, shouldn't she be the mayor and Mayor Mare be the Vice-Mayor having finished in second? I'm kind of torn here, I like the story as a whole but the ending makes Twily look like a doormat, well that and the only friend of Twilight's who was truly loyal was of course, Rainbow Dash. What the hay, you still get an upvote.

I'm glad they both got a happy ending, and I really enjoyed this story! :twilightsmile:
