Campaign message: "I'm Alfie, and I'm not Sylvia." That's pretty much Alfie's campaign in a nutshell. Alfie comes from a little punk group of anarchists from Redbright. He's the kind of kid who gets in trouble a lot but is also pretty smart so Redbright doesn't kick him out. He's the head of a society on campus (who let this happen) so is technically an "upstanding" and "respected" member of Redbright.

Alfie's nomination started as a joke. Literally. His group of friends really do see a lot of the problems with team Sylvia-Norrell and the weird grip of everything witches had. So one of his friends, lets call him Davy, also his his last year at Redbright and incidentally the head of Chess Society (hey just because they're lower class don't underestimate them!) nominates him. The more he and his group of friends get to thinking, though, the more this might be a good idea. And hey if Sylvia kicks them out, it's their last year and more importantly she's only going to make herself look worse! (help help im being repressed - COME SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM, etc.)

Alfie has a team of friends from school who are all helping him out on the campaign. They're going to poster all over Redbright (and then get bored and stop there) with basically the same campaign. It'll get more complex as it goes on and the more they think about it the more serious they will become. Down with witch reign! Down with the tyranny that has conquered the supernatural for twenty plus years. Its time for NEW YOUNG FRESH BLOOD. He calls for an OVERHAUL of the system and the inclusion of MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. He's suck of having the "old guard" tell everyone what to do. He probably swears way more than anyone who has any right to run for an office. He's basically an affront to good upper-class British society everything.

It is of course worth noting that other than the society of whatever he runs at Redbright, Alfie has literally no experience running anything. He and his friends are going to push the fresh perspective thing and end up, towards the end of elections, getting super passionate about the issues but at the start, "I'm not Sylvia!" Pretty much sums it up.

you said have fun with it and yet i am still sorry
