I've seen some things said in here.
With respect, I don't think it's accurate to say I've done a "bizarro 180" like Griffin is arguing. This isn't a Matt-style transformation. I've slowly evolved on a few issues due to me coming to terms with some things in my life and my general dissatisfaction with organized conservatism (and the people it attracts) in the real world. Here in Atlasia, I decided to become an Independent because I wasn't really happy with how things had been going in the Federalist Party. It's been much more stress-free now, and I'm loving it... it makes for a happier Hagrid.
Anyway, just wanted to clear that up. I would love to be able to earn more of your votes in the election. I think the senate has done a lot of good work over the last few months, and I'm happy to have been a part of it. I know others like windjammer and Griffin are already oiling the Labor machine behind the scenes for PiT (interesting), but if you look to what PiT and I both stand for and how we operate in government, I hope most of you will find that I am worth endorsing. I'm not going to fall in bed with some of your more extreme proposals (
), but in me you find someone who is open to having smart government help people.
Thanks everyone!
