It is with deep gratitude that I received the results of the Solidarity Leadership Election, and I must reiterate how flattered and encouraged I am by the strong mandate the party has granted me. I want to thank /u/ravenguardian17 profoundly for all of her help and her extremely successful leadership tenure, she brought me back into active duty for the last GE after a five year break from MHOC. I've been happy to rediscover my old passion for this game, and am looking forward to continuing to push the progressive agenda of our Government.

I am confident that, with our erstwhile allies in the Pirate Party and Social Liberal Party, we can continue to push forward onto a future where that green and pleasant land becomes a reality. Where poverty is a distant spectre of the past, and the xenophobia and fear that haunts the souls of mankind no longer finds purchase.

I am also looking forward to continued debate and cooperation with all parties in Opposition. I do not expect to be able to push our agenda without being held to account, and we will create the consensus necessary to bring thoughts into law and reality.

With the term half complete, my attention will be centered around the Budget and other promises from the King's Speech. We have already seen multiple massive reforms passed this term, and I don't intend to stop here. We are in too dire a situation for moderate and defeatist solutions, so we must power through the resistance to continued reform that springs forth, to ensure that we do not see another rollback of reforms in the future.

There is only one path forward, and it is together, hand in hand.
