How to use this template
caption difficulties
Line 26:
 
As I keep thinking about it, this template really works better not trying to be too many things at once. This shouldn't be a replacement for the politics template on ''every'' politics page, only the ones about democracy, elections, and voting. After getting input I think I might move it to [[Template:Democracy]]. If I have time I'll also reinvigorate the politics template (which ''would'' be an appropriate place to have the ideology section) and put that on some of the pages where this template moved in.

== Can't get caption to work ==
As originally intended, the template was to be used like this:
 
<pre>
{{Elections|
image=[[Image:vote_stub.png|180px|
caption=this is a caption}}
</pre>
 
Note the lack of the thumb tag. Doing this, however, the text would end up double spacing and looking really weird, so I removed it. Putting captions into the image tag using the standard image captioning looks weird, though. If there were some code we could add around the (currently commented) caption subtemplate to make the text not wrap, things would be perfect.
