And if you show me willingness, then I'll do my best to bring the public with me.

And I'll get every single influencer I know to do the same.

So we're here.

We're here.

And I hope you make the right choice.

All right, so I've got here in my notes, as I always have at the end of my notes, ending of hope.

And, you know, once again, you know, it's...

it's getting easier and easier to do these.

I still don't know if, in my heart of hearts, whether we're going to get this.

that is the situation that we've got on the government in, you know, and this is why you know, that people who, you know, are maybe not ideologically aligned with wealth taxes are starting to have to say they support wealth taxes.

We've done this by educating the public.

And even though we're a long way from the finishing line here, I think it's a good opportunity to sort of step back and just
