Carpe diem, carpe noctem, carpe spatium.

"... I believe that if you, dear Reader, can extend your patience for just a moment, you will find that there is a Method to this tale of Madness" - Timothy Cavendish in Cloud Atlas

I see so many fantastic people all coming together as Asgardia. The love and passion for space demonstrated in outstanding. For certain poetic and historical purities, initially I thought that I should delay my political candidacy until I am 33. However, upon further reflection, I have chosen to submit my candidacy at this juncture. I believe that I can provide a genuine contribution to moving Asgardia forward both in time and space. While many other Asgardian candidates appear to have a genuine passion for space and generally hold sound virtues and values, few offer clear indications on how they plan to move Asgardia forward into the future, nor provide concrete suggestions of why they are the best candidates for the duties and responsibilities which are necessitated as members of a parliament.

I realize that it is not a prize to be elected. It is a duty. A responsibility to foster the development of the dream which we all share - of travelling to space, while ensuring safety and equality for all of humanity. If you see fit to elect me as one of your leaders, I can pledge much more than hard work alone. With a clear track record of academic success, strong philosophical background, vigour of youth, and passion for space which extends beyond words, I promise to bring to Asgardia:

1. Sound ethics for space, void of any and all corruption. One of my academic areas is environmental ethics. I believe that space ethics may be interpreted vastly as an extension of environmental ethics - an ethics which requires non-traditional thinking to address non-traditional problems.

2. Clear interpretation of the constitution, and a promise to uphold it in all its glory. A leader should embody all the principle of the organization which they are pledged to.

3. The will to move into the future as a united kingdom. Asgardia is still in its infancy. Without the will to move forward and a capable leader to ensure sustainable development, no nation can prosper. Nothing would please me more than to see humanity's dream of reaching for the stars to be realised. Perhaps my most significant contribution to Asgardia will be to continually strive for greater heights (literally) while ensuring that parliament does not fall into complacency of any sort.

It would be an honour and a privilege for me to be given your vote.

Help me to help move Asgardia into the future.
