First up are the candidates for Shapeshifter & Meta Human Representative: Yasmine Merad, the current Representative and a panther shapeshifter; Sandra Ng, a teacher; Jasper Burns, a researcher who believes that the supernatural world shouldn't have to hide; Faolan O'Neill, leader of the Hillingdon Clan and a Night Council Guardian; and Bernice "Birdie" Salander, the oldest candidate at 71 with a long history of civil rights campaigning.
Yasmine's speech demonstrates why she was elected to this position in the first place: she's cool and confident, making bold proclamations about ensuring that the voices of meta humans and shapeshifters are heard.
Sandra has one key message, which is that if elected she intends to split her seat so that shapeshifters and meta humans are each represented in their own right. Faolan delivers a truly awkward speech in which he admits that he didn't expect to be nominated and isn't sure if he's right for the job, but if he was elected he would strive to make sure that the law is applied fairly and equally, which he doesn't think always happens right now. It's honest, at least.
Jasper's speech is an impressive mixture of conspiracy theories and wild rants, while Bernice rambles on about equality, ensuring that the powerful protect the vulnerable, and ending the scaremongering that too often pervades today's politics.
After the speeches, there's time for questions. Any takers?
