"Ici Londres ! Les Français parlent aux Français..."note
Around New Crobuzon the posters are appearing demanding your vote – should you be lucky enough to have one! Rudgutter's Fat Sun huffs and puffs, Finally We Can See spout weasel-words, the Diverse Tendency lies to the oppressed xenians, and the human dust of the Three Quills spread their poison. With this sorry crew as the "choice", Runagate Rampant calls on all 'winners' of the vote to spoil their ballots! Build a party from below and denounce the Suffrage Lottery as a cynical ploy. We say: votes for all and vote for change!
—The Runagate Rampant, Perdido Street Station
