James MacCallum

Fellow members, cricket lovers, and embargos enthusiasts,

I stand before you today as a simple man with a simple dream: to lead this great club into a future where our president actually knows where the embargos is.

Unlike some people.

Let's talk about commitment. While I have been a fixture at every single embargos — rain, hail, 9am lecture the next morning, questionable life choices and all — my opponent Neel has been conspicuously, tragically, chronically absent. Political scientists call this "a lack of engagement." I call it a red flag. A massive, flapping, embarrassing red flag.

But wait — it gets better. Neel, the man who wants to lead ICUCC, will not even be at Imperial next year. He's doing a year in industry. A year in industry. He is literally leaving. He is abandoning us. He is, and I use this term with the greatest statistical precision, a flight risk.

How does one president a university club from a WeWork in Canary Wharf? Nobody knows. Least of all Neel.

Meanwhile, I will be here. In the flesh. At embargos. Every time. Possibly before James has even unlocked the door.

This election is simple: one candidate shows up, one candidate does not. One candidate will be at uni, one candidate will be on a corporate away day wondering where it all went wrong.

The choice is obvious.

Vote me. Not the guy who's already left.
