I favour the idea greatly.
By a strange coincidence I have a whole stack of pre-stuffed brown envelopes (now sadly empty) that I borrowed from my old bank when I left. So I'm ready to go.
I can also make speeches in the desired fashion, which must be a plus to my candidacy. There are not many things I can remember at my age, but my sort code, account number, and procedure for depositing large bundles of low denomination banknotes remain as sharp as ever.
I'm less fastidious when it comes to dribbling down my tie or dripping gravy on my lapels, nor adjusting my garments properly when returning from a visit to the pre and post prandial drinking excess relief closet. So I should be in excellent company should I ever be elevated to the higher House - that "other" place, where old cocks hang out.
I am also able to pontificate on almost any subject, quite endlessly and tediously, in fact, which is an essential qualification. And I know many excellent restaurants and bars in close proximity to the House.
I commend myself to the House.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
