Horrid Henry's Class Action

== Synopsis ==
When Henry decides to get himself elected onto the School Council, he finds that he has an unexpected rival, and that all is not always fair in love and war.
== Plot ==
The episode starts with the entire school, inside the assembly hall. Miss Oddbod is on the school stage, and is talking about having an election, for a representative on School Council. Peter and his friends are excited that they raised their hands to be picked but Miss Oddbod corrects them it is an election and they have to get enough votes in order to be the rep of the school. Miss Oddbod says 'May the best person win.' and Ralph wakes Henry who was asleep thinking he would be good rep on the School Council election but he dies not want to do it, Peter and his friends think about all the good things to do on School Council as Henry and his friends listen to their conversation.
Ralph and Henry discuss that if he was elected, he would say 'No school for a year' with Brian saying it could be a real opportunity because everyone will vote for him, but Henry told them that he has other things on his mind such as his cousin, Stuck-Up Steve, who is staying with him, and his family since Rich Aunt Ruby goes somewhere very important meaning no-body will look after him.
William wishes Henry good luck with that, but Henry says that everyone will need the luck because Steve is coming to school tomorrow while Mum and Dad are at work, and his friends all shout 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!', opening the title card.
The next morning, Steve is telling Mum, Dad and Peter about when he was elected as Captain Tiddlywinks team during breakfast time and they found it exciting as Henry comes in and pours himself cereal. Steve says it is exciting almost as being the leader of the Free World society and Henry mutters 'What's that when it's at home?', but Dad whispers 'Don't be horrid, Henry.' to him. Peter tells Steve about the election at Ashton Primary School and hopes he will be picked for School Council, but Mum and Dad tell him that people will be voting for him and Steve says it takes encourage, confident, nerves to be a winner, but Peter adds a good as gold book of gold stars, still not getting this. Steve says at his school, they get a head start on your parents are very, very rich or you got three houses which a castle or something and Henry asked him how is that fair but he says it is not.
Mum tells everyone that it is time for school and Steve lets her, Dad and Peter out of the kitchen like a gentlemen but shuts the door on Henry leaving him behind as he gives an annoyed look on his face to the audience. At school, Henry and Ralph watch Steve getting all the attention telling everyone about his fifth election but he says it is six time too many. Then Steve tells Henry that he is standing for election here their School council here after talking to Miss Battle-Axe meaning there is nothing in the rules to stop him but Henry tells him he doesn't go to Ashton Primary School and Steve says he does for today as heads inside passing Mr Soggington who bows down to him followed by the children.
So Henry decides to stand for Ashton Primary School council too with Margaret and Susan as his campaign mangers. In class, Miss Battle-Axe tells the two candidates to tell them all what they would promise whether they are elected or not. Steve goes first being a gentlemen buying her Miss B making her laugh and tells everyone that his message will be a simple as Henry mumbles 'You can say that again'. Steve says that he promise to make Ashton great again but Henry asked when it was ever great and Miss Battle-Axe says 'Don't be horrid, Henry! as he tells her their home in Ashton is not really great with the football team not so bad, Whopper Whoppee and the park being cool which Steve agrees and makes it a promise but nobody claps so Miss Battle-Axe encourages them most of the pupils to applaud Steve except for Ralph, Margaret and Susan.
Henry asked Margaret and Susan what is he going to say and the girls told him he'll come up with something and thanks them. Henry tells his classmates that his mission is very simple and if he was elected, he would declare no more detentions, homework and give them all milkshake chocolate but nosbody applaudes him until Ralph encourages them by clapping much for his relief. Steve also claps along too but tells Henry that he is still going to win and follows Miss Battle-Axe as Margaret and Susan cross their arms at Henry who shrugs with an exchange look on face. Henry, Ralph and Al walk over to the field area as they approaches the girls while Brian is his computer as they asked Henry what was he thinking for what he did in class and he says he was not at all.
Margaret tells Henry that she is putting her reputation on line because of him despite being to asked to do and if he thinks she is having a taffy nose turtle bonce (Stuck-Up Steve) as her leader but Ralph interrupts her and suggest they all get down to business. Margaret and Susan tells Henry that his manifesto stinks because first of all, he is the only one who gets regular detention and getting rid of it will not make difference to all of their life but Al thinks they'll see more of Henry and second, everyone such as themselves loves having homework to do and Brian insisted they do because it is a special form of brain exercise that can expand the knowledge to make them clever. Henry asked about the chocolate milkshakes but Margaret says not everyone likes them then they all saw Peter and his friends holding protest chanting 'Vote for Henry! He's the One' backing him which Ralph tells Henry it is a good sign.
Peter tells Henry that we are behind him every day all the way but it just made him worry about losing and asked Peter why they are backing him instead of themselves and Sam says it would be unconstitutional to stand as individually with Gordon and Ted adding they don't believe in competition between them because they are a happy group of Best Boys not unhappy. Henry asks why they are back of him instead of Steve and Peter says that he is his big brother and Sam say he is also the lesser of two evils making Ralph and Al laugh buts Henry says 'Thanks, Worm' for being honest.
Back at the assembly hall, everyone is waiting in line with all their votes as Miss Oddbod announces 'Let the voting begin' but then she saus with one adjustment that she decided on the vice of Miss Battle-Axe that oldest of the two candidates should be given a head start meaning Steve will start with 30% of the vote since he is 30% older than Henry but Brain and their classmates do not find this fair at all so Margaret tells him to do something about it. As all the pupils give Miss Battle-Axe their votes, Brian talks to Miss Oddbod and tells Henry that it is fair since Miss Battle-Axe told her that it is the same system they use as The Giddiantus, Brick House peace process but he and Henry thinks it does not work.
Then Margaret sees Miss Battle-Axe placing Henry's votes under her seat as Brain and Miss Oddbod approaches her as she jumps out her chair catching her red-handed with everyone else shock and Henry says 'All's fair in love and war' while Ralph and Margaret laugh. In the end, Henry is in the waiting room while telling the audience he got elected on the School Council fair and square even though Steve got a head start because he was older than him and shows them his list of demands to the School Council. Soon Miss Oddbod calls Henry into her office but he sees Miss Lovely, Madame Tutu, Mr Soggington and Miss Battle-Axe leaving. Henry asked if they are staying for the meeting but Miss Oddbod told him they done it already meaning they made him miss out on purpose. Miss Oddbod gives Henry one minute to say what he has to say starting now but he scrunches up his list of demands and screams 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!', ending the episode.
