And, in a press conference that was all over the place, Faber accepted that his protest in front of the headquarters was against party rules - but he felt he had no choice in trying to keep his party honest:
Patrick Faber, Collet Representative
"This, today is breaking the rules, but it is because I have no other option. If you kicked me out of the party that I love so dearly. I worked my life for this party and you will tell me that I can't represent my people, then I am not interested in your rules anymore. If we want to fix things, we have to stop the nonsense, we have to stop this dictatorship. When I resigned in January, nobody was forcing me to resign. I said I was not okay, I said I needed time to work on my personal issues. I said I wanted to go back and finish my doctoral degree. That is what I am doing. Its not because Faber wants to be leader. I am young, I am 44 years old. The Prime Minister is 62, I could come back 17 years from now then if my math is correct."
