Concession Speech

Holcomb Campaign Headquarters
With the final results clear Michael Holcomb made his way to the podium at the front of little hall with the ISRP Banner displayed proudly behind the platform to which he now mounted the stairs. Smiling and waving to the happy little crowd, Michael quieted the crowd with a gesture of his hands.
Friends,
The polls have closed and the results are in. We ran a gallant, if short (the crowd laughs), campaign. But today the greatest Party in all Ireland elected a new Party President, and that man is Kiemar. I congratulate Kiemar on his election and I know that he will lead this Party to great things. Today’s results for me are not a defeat, but a happy event. I am new to the ISRP, when I first moved to Ireland I joined the Irish Union Party because I thought it would be nice to be in power. But I forgot something I learned when I lived in the United States, you win when you fight for what you believe in and not when you get the most votes.
(applause)
So today, our first campaign in Ireland ends, but it won’t be our last. What the next campaign will be I can’t say now, but I’m promising you that the issues we fought for, and the agenda we support will march on. We will join together with Kiemar, we will fight to elect more ISRP Teachta Dala, and we will succeed!
(applause)
Today, in winning any votes, we won a great victory. I have heard Ireland defamed, I have heard politicians called corrupt, but this election and this Party represent the greatest hope we have of advancing the far-left agenda (applause). Today’s defeat was not one of Party, but of a single man, and today I know that the ISRP will continue its rise and when we elect a President I know we will be there applauding that new President.
(applause)
So I thank you for your support, and I say together we will move forward and see this Party come to its rightful place in government.

Good closing comments on a good campaign.
Ummm dude... you won 😮
This makes me proud to be part of the ISRP
Congratulations Michael; this is the funniest thing I have seen during this campaign, although I almost did it myself.
Oh...When I went to bed I thought I'd lost. Now I know how RL Woodrow Wilson felt. Much better than RL Charles Hughes.
Funny how 35 people voted in the ISRP election when the day before we only had 25 members. Ive had it with the corruption in this country and I really don't think I'll be staying much longer
How is that corrupt? A lot of people don't join party's in till the voting booths are ready, since it has no other function.
Whoa, what the heck just happened? Kiemar was up 17-6 when I posted.
There's a cloud over this election. And for that I am sorry. I want Kiemar to take up a crucial leadership role. I will do whatever I can to reconcile this election. Nothing is off the table.
Same thing happened in the IUP. I think that the intent was to weaken the ISRP and IUP.
Well, Michael and I will lead our parties well, and show them.
Congratulations Michael. Have to say very surprised you won as you were well well behind when i voted.
Maybe im being a bit stupid but how come there are 29 members but 35 votes cast? A few quick in to vote and then out people?
Anyways I'm hopefull you'll do a great job Michael.
Everyone, this is an article you need to read. It will hopefully begin the process to set things right.
