With the addition of Flemingovia as your VDC will this bring any notable changes to your previously stated platform?

I'd also like to welcome Flemingovia to the race, good to see you here.  :D

 Not really, my basic overall ideas are the same, I want to improve the community, help foster new talent, give keep on giving the newer player a shot in the executive, and also, now, to make every effort possible to repair damage caused to the region by recent events, both here and abroad.

in all seriousness, I think that with me on the ticket rather than GMT you will find a much stronger voice for moderation. I think that you now have an interesting couple of candidates to vote for here. Militarily, SD has no problem with raiding. I am unashamedly an old-school defender. That creative tension, I think, reflects Taijitu perfectly - neither pure raider nor pure defender - and will lead to a moderate, middle ground in foreign policy.

In terms of domestic policy, my track record shows that I am firmly a believer in democracy in NS. That is a principle I would uphold in Taijitu as well - supporting the Senate and the ministers, and encouraging others to give their opinions about the direction Taijitu should take. I cannot guarantee that I will agree with your voice, but I will listen to your voice.

I agree with Flem wholeheartedly on this. Just as the symbol and name of this region denotes balance, so as it is with this ticket, balance. It our similarities which bind us together not only in this ticket, but all of us here in this region, and it is our differences which make us stronger. And though Flem and I have at times been on opposite sides, we have always observed respect for one another both as people and players, I would like to urge those on all sides of recent debates to do likewise.

To the people of Taijitu, I offer a heartfelt apology, and a promise on my honour that I shall never partake in any such action again.
 
 Now, with regard to this election, some have said I should probably back out, that I now have no chance of winning. There may be truth to that, but I will not back out of this race.

Thank you for that, SD.  I trust in your promise; you and Flem will have my vote in the election.

one more thought. It may indeed be that we have no chance in this election, but I regard it as a positive thing that we are seeing players come through in this election, and in the region, who were not part of the Lexicon. A sign, perhaps, that Taijitu has its own identity rather than being overly tied to its past.

Alrighty...I've cooled down a bit (only a bit) from earlier.  I will not pursue any action against SD, as I feel that he was far enough removed from the actions of PoD (even with the Nuremberg defense) that he does not deserve blame.  I applaud the decision to make Flemingovia the Vice.

have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Closing statement

By my reckoning the polls should be about to open. Events of the past week have made this an unusual campaign, and I have come onto this ticket very late in the day. Looking at all the threads, it is gratifying that all of the candidates offer different and fresh visions of Taijitu's future. So why should you vote for SD and me? I believe that there are two reasons:

Firstly, because both of us offer a track record of service and loyalty to Taijitu and NS in general. Both of us are active, clear headed, and can offer three months of dedicated service to the region.

Second, because both of us are well known internationally, and offer Taijitu its best chance of repairing our reputation abroad. As a region we have some work to do in the wider NS world, and both SD and I have a clear idea of what needs to be done, and the ability to make it happen.

Vote well, vote wisely.
