Politicians
in a spin! |

If
you are already bored with the election, then why not send Tony Blair,
William Hague and Charles Kennedy into a spin?
A Bristol website has put together an online virtual slot- machine,
based around Westminster and the struggle for power.
The game was created by two brothers from the city, James and Matt
Dale.
James told BBC Bristol Online that they had the inspiration
just two days ago:
 |
| I
am a bit of an entrepreneur. With the election game, perhaps
I dreamt it! |

Dale |
"I wish I
had the idea earlier. It seemed appropriate considering the looming
election."
The Dales' site, slot-machine.co.uk,
features a whole variety of games for you to try out your nudge and
hold skills.
The general election game, named The Power Game, will launch at 1800
on polling day.
"I think I am always on the ball. I am a bit of an entrepreneur.
With the election game, perhaps I dreamt it!" said James.
He created the graphics for the new game, while his brother did the
coding behind it.
Their work has got the far and wide in the web world, with games popping
up on sites such as supermarket Iceland, and also on a local newspaper
site.
James explained: "People can have custom games on their sites."
Perhaps Number Ten will be in touch soon!
