[edit] Synopsis
While Brandy and Mr. Whiskers are going to a swimming hole so that Brandy can work on her tan and so Mr. Whiskers can try not to drown, they get stopped by some of Gaspar Le Gecko’s henchmen. They inform them that the swimming hole is restricted to all visitors except Gaspar, in which he proclaims he can do because he is dictator of the jungle. Brandy declares that he isn't allowed to do such a thing, in which she decides to go rally support for an election, in which she says the jungle should be a Democracy because Gaspar doesn't have the right to force people out of swimming. After giving many various speeches and after turning the jungle denizens into a mob of angry protestors, she eventually manages to force Gaspar to hold an election. However, when Brandy announces that she will run against Gaspar, the jungle denizens refuse to permit her to do that because they do not consider her to be any better than Gaspar. Mr. Whiskers then accidentally trips over various things and then sticks his feet into a snake’s mouth, in which he then runs away due to his fear of snakes and he runs into a tree. Brandy, upon seeing how the jungle denizens were laughing at Mr. Whiskers, decides to permit Mr. Whiskers to be the candidate for the election. While Brandy gets Mr. Whiskers to avoid issues and say funny things, Gaspar is trying to force people to vote for him, which proves to be his undoing. When the polls close, Mr. Whiskers was deemed the winner through a majority vote, and he becomes the new president of the Amazon. Brandy and Mr. Whiskers then go to the swimming hole in which they attempt to enjoy, but Brandy begins to exclude groups such as stink bugs and carnivores until she deems that no one except the chief advisor and invited guests can visit the swimming hole. Mr. Whiskers decides enough is enough and he tries to convince Brandy that they have been oppressing the jungle denizens for too long after he notices the discontent. Brandy realizes the folly of her ways after she speaks to one of the guests, and after she sees a stink bug and his family, in which she forced out of the swimming hole earlier. She goes to try to apologize to the jungle denizens, in which they refuse to listen to her and they begin to chase her and Mr. Whiskers until Gaspar rescues them. He informs Brandy that if she gives him power back, he can guarantee their safety, in which she agrees to under one condition, that everyone is permitted to use the swimming hole at all times. Gaspar agrees, and the episode ends with Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, along with many other jungle denizens enjoying the swimming hole, with Gaspar trying to hold onto order to no avail.
