RACKHAM ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY​

27 MAY 3308
The trillionaire entrepreneur Zachary Rackham has officially confirmed that he will stand as a candidate in the 3309 Federal election.
Mr Rackham finally stated his intentions following several weeks of speculation. At a press conference, he said:
“I know what you’re all thinking. That guy as president? Isn’t he just a common businessman, who used to survive on scraps by trading trinkets in a rusty old Sidewinder?”
“But despite my humble origins, many good people have convinced me that my experience with running corporations would prove useful to the Federation. I feel like everyone’s tired of the same empty words from the two big political parties. It’s time to hear from the little guy!”

Mr Rackham added that it will take several weeks to prepare his manifesto and campaign team. It is unknown whether he intends to form a new political party or stand as an independent candidate.

There has been no comment from President Hudson or Shadow President Winters.
However, several congressmen remarked that the media attention accompanying Mr Rackham’s efforts might attract more public interest in next year’s presidential race.
Only 65% of eligible voters took part in the last election in 3300.

The Tau Ceti Journal noted that the value of shares in Rackham Capital Investments has soared to an all-time high, making many investors extremely wealthy overnight.

65% turnout is rather high for a corporate led society. Is the living standard of even the poorest so good, that they don't notice that their vote makes no difference? Hard to believe that in a corporate society everybody has enough to eat.

Maybe so, but first he must get passed the plot armour that having a power play portrait affords you. Maybe once I see one of him I can believe that this has a chance of actually going anywhere. 🙄

The "little guy" who pay literal billions for a party every month at the top of the galaxy.

Why does the richest people of the galaxy always claim they are "the little guy" ? Is it something related to their size ? Or some part of their anatomy ?



Anyway, he isn't a PP character, so unless the "key feature" they plan on overhauling is PP, I don't think he'll do much.
