[TRS] Great finish to a campaign!

Well, things didn't turn out exactly as I had wanted them to in this Presidential election (i.e. I didn't win), but then again, I had a great time, learned a little bit more on how to campaign effectively, and hopefully, I'll do better next time eh? Hehe
😉
Anyhow I'd like to congratulate Kronos_Q for his victory, and I have to admit, I didn't expect to get less votes than Rolo, but I guess the more we allow people like him to get a free pass in this country, the more votes and support he'll continue to rack up.
Addy Lawrence didn't make quite the appearance I thought he would, and in my opinion, he hurt his reputation more than he should have with his run. I think we learned a valuable lesson today though, "who you were" doesn't matter very much anymore, and to be honest, that's not actually not a bad thing at all. It's great to see that eCanadians value the present and future more than a glorified past.
I think the fear of Kronos_Q, Addy Lawrence, Simon Broucher-Ruest and myself splitting the vote and giving Rolo the chance to sweep in with his consistent 150+ votes for a victory really pushed people to choose Kronos as the candidate to beat Rolo. Either way Kronos_Q enjoys the type of popularity that aspiring CP candidates would drool over, and that probably helped a lot also.
I'd also like to thank all the people whose support and kind words I rallied on in this election, and to them I promise that my vision will not end with my defeat in this election. Rather, the vision to create a better democracy will continue on, in congress, in the media, and in this community. I see that Kronos_Q has made it a campaign promise to be more communicative, and even more inclusive, so I think we have a very receptive President to these types of reforms this month.
I hope everyone enjoyed the show!
Now get back to work!

Cheers!

Less grandiose vision and more concrete, game relevant plans would be the way to go
applaud the sportsmanship!
Is this the NEW Octavian_F?
+1
Kronos had overwhelming support because he was the only real candidate. People were tired of Addy's bullshit and even if he had run for real he would of been crushed by Kronos, Rolo get's the votes he always does, and you and Simon split the random clicks that were left.
If Rolo hadn't been in the race Kronos would of won by even more, with Simon probably coming in second because I can't see "Rolo voters" going to you over either of them.
For all the BS Octavian has put up with (and arguably dished back!), I'd say he pulled off his best CP run yet. I'm not sure what the SBR-appeal would be. Perhaps name recognition. Octavian gave it the race a much better sense of goals and commitment. I know I gave him my wildcard vote in the CPF primary just to see what could come.
I wasn't there to vote for you.. u.u
