You raise a fair point. The student council is essentially the political center of the student body. [He acknowledges that with a nod, and a slight smile.] I certainly hope that this position prepares me to campaign on a grander stage!

You are honoring me with your kind words as well, Meng Yao-kun! Thank you so much for that assessment. You help me to feel much more optimistic about my chances! Rest assured, I will do all that I can to prepare myself to rail against any and all corruption and negligence. I will not make the mistakes of other well-meaning yet foolish political figures!
