A Difficult Position.
"Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did."
~Newt Gingrich
My Fellow Canadians,
I come to you tonight to simply talk on the future of my involvement in this race.
I started the campaigning a month early to show my determination and commitment to this December election.
I soon realized that resting on my laurels perhaps might not be enough so I made an outreach initiative to get to know the populace, forming a cabinet that is inclusive and well balanced and a platform that is pragmatic and progressive.
My party has supported me to no end. I am thankful to them for the opportunity. It cements, in my opinion, that the family I have in the CPF in unmatched anywhere else in this game and is a testament to the beauty that is Canadian citizenship and unity.
It is with great enthusiasm that I await these elections, although I know the results before the polls open up.
With this last article, I can only say that my situation is extremely difficult.
I placed all my cards on one specific game plan working, when I should have known that the emergence of Derek Harland and Jacobi as contenders would bring immense competition.
I realize now that my situation, after the loss of the CNC endorsement, has been basically altered for the worse.
I've been thinking to myself, what should I do?
My party will follow me to the very end, they would want me to run.
One side of my brain thought: 'Screw it, I can just drop out and give my support to Jacobi or Derek Harland."
To be completely honest, I was very close to doing that, in one of the candidate's favour.
Looming defeat does that to you.
Canada, it came to me however, I must stay true to myself.
I achieved what I wanted, and I came into this as an underdog and with an objective to give it my best.
If I quit now, I am just a shell of who I perceive myself as.
If I drop out, it will be an insult to all those who believe I am the right choice for Canada.
If I drop out, it will be an insult to the platform we have compiled.
If I drop out, it will be an insult to the cabinet of faithful ministers I have assembled.
Indeed, Canada, all my efforts since I came to this game almost two years ago will go to the garbage along with my virtues.
All my previous experience will, to me, matter less than it ever did.
My character will be irreplaceable lost.
And despite not being the clear favourite amongst the entire Canadian population, like I perhaps arrogantly envisioned, I owe it for the love of democracy to continue on.
I'd need a book full of blank pages to write down all the names of those who wouldn't want me in office.
They say I have no chance. They say I should quit.
They spend their day bashing my party and me with meaningless terms.
They endlessly comment like they are even on the same plane as me.
As for the critics, they tell me I don't get it.
Everybody can tell you how to do it, they never did it.
For the sake of virtue, and for the sake of honour. I will be hoping for full support this election.
The situation looks grim, but then again, the game is most fun when everything is stacked against you and forgot what you did for them.
Canada,
I remain true to my campaign. To each and every single Canadian that votes for me, especially those outside the CPF, they are true heroes and earn my respect.
To Derek and Jacobi, best of luck.
Bring it
Banach
Proud Nominee of the CPF

Good luck Banach 🙂

Yeah, I want to see some Spanish-French War conflict resolution!
Banach, now you feel the position I was in in October, and Gaius was in in November 😃 Welcome to being the viable 3rd option 😉
Congrats for staying true to yourself, your party, and all your supporters.
You now know why I was unable to drop out of the race.

Awesome, Banach. You've got a lot of class, bro.
This race is better with you in it. Good luck.
Good luck Banach!

Tom, since you don't believe that people change whatsoever since a year in this game, you're a quitter too.
I changed ten times over since those days.
Gary, I say let Spain crush France.
Hell, send our CAF over there, they need the practice.
Banach, I'm certain there are people who won't vote strictly on party lines and instead choose a candidate based on merit. It may not be as dire as you think. 🙂
Banach for PM!
And somehow my feelings on this election just became a lot clearer. Whatever the result, you remain a winner in the hearts and minds of those who call you "friend"
Best of luck Banach.
Pedal to the metal Banach!
Bring it.
Well said sir, a fine choice you are for Canada, i don't think we Canadians can go wrong this election. Then again many thought that when they voted WD.........
