  The Saint Romain Tribune Clara André, Nonétrice and thus head of the executive of Saint Romain has formed a minority government in the Saint Romain Assembly. The Parti Romain will act as their confidence and supply partners. André will support the Parti Romain's campaign for a united Romain Assembly, working with Romain Proper Party of June DAMs to vote for a referendum to allow this to come to pass. This is the key policy that the Parti Romain demanded be heeded by the Party of June in return for support. Key: Party of June (centrist): orange, 19 seats, Parti Romain (nationalist left): purple, 4 Seats, Socialists (left): red, 5 seats, National Awakening Party (right): blue, 17 seats The Party of June has 19 seats in the new Saint Romain Assembly, with 23 needed for a majority for any motion. Luckily, the PR managed to get 4 DAMs in the recent by-election which makes this arrangement perfect in terms of Assembly mathematics. As Nonétrice, André does have tie-break powers in the Assembly, as in all Dominions which could give her the edge in certain issues that make votes very close. Nonéteurs and Nonétrices across the country often head the legislature of their region as the Nonet doesn't normally have much business to discuss and they have special powers within the Dominion Assembly that they can act on. Those in quieter Dominions where there is a majority in their favour often take up a Ministry as well, like Samantha Terrace, Nonétrice for Saint Novella who is the Health Minister. The Party of June is a Unionist party and they believe that Icholasen should remain as one country, but the Parti Romain is the opposite. André stated however that both the PR and the PoJ want what is best for Romain and that entering into a loose electoral pact does not mean mutual endorsement of all policies, including those on the Union. André has stated that she will look to the NAP for support on the privatisation of postal services along with other parties issues on which they share common ground. André has said she accepts that the Party of June does not have a free-reign to do whatever they please in the Assembly and she continued to say that the recent by-election result will be taken into account, saying that more nationalist voters means we need to deliver more devolution and offer a referendum into more powers for the nation of Romain.

  Politics: Baschet Looks to Liberalise the PSDT as Parlement Resumes AURELIS --- Les Travaillistes have always been a good party of protest. From their roots in their first elected deputy from Montrelais to the heartlands of Racines and around Entrages, change through civil disobedience has been at the core of the party. Elisabeth Baschet would know. Her father was a coal miner and union member who was courted by the Travaillistes to join the PSDT. While the Social Democratic wing of the party is considered to be young progressives and suburban socialists, the Travaillistes wing trends older, working class, more socially moderate than their counterparts. This is the salt of the earth kind of politics that the Prime Minister grew up in. Now, as she delivers her last Royal Address before the 2020 election, the Prime Minister is riding a wave of support as Gallorum turn sits gaze not just inward, but outward as well. With the St. Dominico Agreement coming back from Inquista, Baschet has demonstrated she can grow Gallorum's connections and economic prosperity. "It is right that the Government seeks to grow the pot for Gallorum; Inquista is the top economy by GDP per capita and pure GDP numbers in Europe, and they have a rigorous economy. By trading with them, we are connecting our goods to the wider European markets. Tariff free access to this is exceedingly crucial. The Government believes in our partners in Inquista and we will do whatever it takes to get this deal through Parlement," said Government spokeswoman Audrey Azoulay. "We will continue to seek trade deals that honour the Government's commitment to economic growth in a responsible manner." Confident and steadfast, Elisabeth Baschet has taken the PSDT out of the wilderness and into Matignon with a slim majority. Her increase in popularity has perhaps earned her a large majority and second term. This is the same party that in the late 80's and early 90's embraced extreme statism, borderline Nicolezian communism and while it worked for a while, crashed the economy in 1992. Not surprising that the Democrats were in power then from 1995 to 2016 then. So what has changed? Elisabeth Baschet. That's what has changed. The cross between her heritage and her politics of triangulation, she has co-opted many ideas of the centre-right economically while championing social justice and equality known as The Third Way. The country now has given her an unprecedented 42% support in the country, giving her 224 seats in the Deputies. A clear, strong majority of 50 seats over the opposing parties. Perhaps this is the era of Baschet, and even Francois Fillon mut live in it.

  Opinion: "Councillor Firoux Has Many Friends, It's Just Too Bad That None of Them Are In Inquista" Opinion by Lex Burnley August 22nd, 2019 The knives are out against Councillor Firoux in Inquista. Councillor Firoux's European career is certainly secure. However, is his political career in Inquista officially over? It seems very likely that Councillor Firoux will soon be re-elected as the Speaker of the European Council in an unopposed vote. Councillor Firoux has acted as the Speaker of the European Council since Councillor Mountain of the United Kingdom stepped down from the post in 2018. You'd be probably be forgiven if you mistakenly believed that Councillor Firoux had been Speaker of the European Council since at least 2017, or 2016, or maybe even 2015. Councillor Firoux is now by far the longest serving Councillor in European Council, first taking up the job in 2013. He's made his mark by legalizing gay marriage in the European Union, banning capital and unusual punishment, and at one point, also controversially banning the use of nuclear weapons. Councillor Firoux's long and established career in Europolis has made him good friends with many political insiders within Europe. This isn't surprising given the fact that Councillor Firoux is also the leader of the European Progressive Alliance - the biggest voting bloc of councillors within the European Council. Besides his fellow councillors, Councillor Firoux has established personal and professional relationships with almost every commissioner that has served during his tenure - including virtually every premier commissioner. When people claim that Councillor Firoux is 'in bed' with the premiers, sometimes it's a literal reference and not just a metaphorical one. Councillor Firoux's other European friends include a long list of monarchs, prime ministers, presidents and business elites who have showered him with praise, political support and financial donations. Councillor Firoux has many friends, it's just too bad that none of them are in Inquista. After all, it's the ones in Inquista that count the most if he ever planned on ever becoming Archbishop. Let's make no mistake: Councillor Firoux's has built his entire political career with the intent of becoming Archbishop. Even before he was an elected politician, when he still worked as an appointed ambassador of Inquista, Councillor Firoux made numerous risky decisions to criticize the Church of Inquista, including its foreign policy. Those were gutsy risks to take for someone who was a church-appointed member of the Inquistan Foreign Service. It's also what ultimately helped him become the Councillor of Inquista. From there, Councillor Firoux has seemingly used his position in Europolis to counter the current Archbishop of Inquista at every turn. When Archbishop Craticus defends the sanctity of the traditional family, Councillor Firoux quickly proposes legislation to strengthen non-traditional marriage rights, and when Archbishop Craticus moves to stop refugees from entering Inquista, you then see Councillor Firoux moving to protect the rights of those refugees. Councillor Firoux's eyes are just as laser-focused on Inquista as he is on Europe. When Bishop Ashton Pearson resigned as the leader of the Christian League in 2018, Councillor Firoux finally played his cards in the open. He ran for leadership of the Christian League himself, despite not being a member of the College of Bishops. It was a bitter race against Silas Kligenberg, but Councillor Firoux managed to prevail mostly unscathed. Surely, Councillor Firoux's prospects of becoming Archbishop should be better than ever? Wrong. Very wrong. In an attempt to depoliticize the Inquistan Orthodox Church, and to combat political corruption, Archbishop Craticus has dissolved Inquista's political parties and has replaced them with less structured theological blocs. Only incumbent members of the College of Bishops can lead these blocs. Councillor Firoux is not a bishop, so he will be barred from leading a theological bloc. This is terrible, bad, no-good news is just the start of Councillor Firoux's problems. He's not just lost his leadership position in Inquista, but he will also very likely have his own political base snatched away from him by other Inquistan leaders and his own supposed allies. Soon enough, Councillor Firoux might have all his political capital bled dry, with his political opponents all eager to take a stab at him. The knives are out. To Councillor Firoux's right, Archbishop Craticus is coalescing a broad-tent of like-minded bishops, ranging from moderate, to conservative, to ultra-Orthodox, whom are all united under a broad banner of religious nationalism. To Councillor Firoux's left, Bishop Lallana is building an army of progressive Orthodox bishops dedicated to liberation, social justice and ecotheology. In 2011, both of these theological blocs led by Archbishop Craticus and Bishop Lallana may have seemed like fringe entities, but both parties, as well as their leaders, have become very popular, and they are continuing to eat away at the political centre. Just before the last Inquistan ecclesiastical election in 2018, several members of the Christian League jumped party ship to join the Archbishop's Black Swan Movement and Bishop Lallana's Green Inquista. It is very likely that we will see more bishops jump ship now that the party lines have been temporarily dissolved until the new theological blocs are formed. The Archbishop and Bishop Lallana both know this, and have openly courted members of the Christian League to join their theological blocs once they have been created. It's not just opponents from other political stripes that are against Councillor Firoux. Silas Kligenberg has re-merged as a political threat and he plans to stab Councillor Firoux in the front, not in the back. While most members of the former Christian League have defended Councillor Firoux and have lambasted the College of Bishops for preventing him from holding his leadership position, Silas Kligenberg has openly welcomed it. In an interview with IBC News, Silas Kligenberg stated that while he does not approve of the Archbishop's justifications for political reforms, he does "welcome the opportunity to reform Inquista's political parties, including the Christian League," and that it was "time to refocus and bring new energy to Inquista's best governing group". Silas Kligenberg, much like the Archbishop and Bishop Lallana, has met with the former members of the Christian League, and he too is hoping to court them to his own corner. It has been reported that Silas Kligenberg hopes that one of the bishops stands down from their see, so that he can fill their seat, and take leadership of the former Christian League. Multiple members of the League previously endorsed Silas Kligenberg in his previous attempt at party leadership, and many members of the Inquistan public remain enthusiastic about his fresh and insurgent dive into politics. It wouldn't take much to imagine that one of the League bishops may stand down, and Silas Kligenberg may then ascend to anointed leadership. This is his Kligenberg destiny, after all. Councillor Firoux's best hope is that one of his few allies in the League (either Bishop Anja Emerett or Bishop Jenna-Marelle Johnson) is able to hold peace over the former Christian League, and that they are able to become the leader of the theological bloc. This ploy, however, is obvious. Both Bishop Emerett and Bishop Johnson will have their leadership scrutinized, and neither of them will be able to shake-off the notion that they're mere puppets of Councillor Firoux himself. Sllas Kligenberg doesn't seem intent to let this happen anyway, and may very well prefer splitting the entire former party into two rather than compromising on the matter. If the former Christian League splits, then it's over for Councillor Firoux. He will have no leadership position, no political base, and likely, no political support either. His ambition to become Archbishop will be dashed. Permanently. What Councillor Firoux needs is more allies in Inquista, and he needs them now more than ever.

  August 20þ, 2019 Article by: Grace Dove PM BLASTS 'PARASITICAL ELITE' AT SPANISH ANNIVERSARY PARTY Mr Isla told supporters that "you'd never catch me getting involved in dodgy stuff in Ibiza" Ðe Prime Minister, Emryc Isla, has launched an outspoken attack against many senior figures across ðe European Union in a fiery speech to Citizen Alliance supporters in Hermel. Addressing ðe gaðering from a balcony in Hermel’s town centre as part of his nationwide summer tour, Mr Isla argued ðat ðe behaviour of ‘elite’ royals and politicians at Spain’s Anniversary Day celebrations in Ibiza was ðe reason for his brand of populism. “None of our ministers, none of our royals, none of our tycoons were ðere in Spain. None. Not one. And ðat is because ðe Citizen Alliance is here to hold people to account,” Mr Isla asserted. “I mean it says it all who was ðere and who was not. Was Dragan Trympov ðere? No. Was Paul Craticus ðere? No. Was Tomas de Miranda ðere? No. Ðe good people, ðose who defend ðeir nations’ interests, all stayed home. Ðis was a party for ðe parasitical elite, ðe open-borders globalists who don’t like people like you and don’t þink ðe rules ðat apply to people like you should apply to ðem.” Mr Isla predicted ðat ðe fiasco, which reportedly resulted in drunken fights involving heads of state and government, and which has now sparked a diplomatic incident between Spain and Derecta over ðe disappearance of ðe latter’s new Prime Minister, Cayetana Valcárcel-Aranjuez, will cause a ‘political revolution’ in favour of right-wing populists across ðe continent. He told ðe crowd: “What has happened here in Angleter will spread across Europe very quickly now. If we can defeat ðe elite who’ve failed to secure our borders and sent þousands of men and women to ðeir deaþs in Dromund Kaas, ðen how long until ðe people of Derecta, Spain, Icholasen, Red Croatia, and so on do ðe same? Not long, I don’t þink. Ðe political revolution ðat started wið ordinary Angleteric people like you is inspiring more and more people all over ðe EU, and ðe dam is fit to burst.” Opposition politicians, including candidates for ðe SDP and Democrat leaderships, have slammed Mr Isla’s comments. Ðe SDP’s Mary d’Ivry, a former Foreign Affairs Minister, argued ðat “Emryc Isla inciting revolution in friendly countries is extremely undiplomatic, and yet anoðer example of ðe Citizen Alliance showing ðey can’t be trusted wið Angleter’s interests in Europe.” Democrat grandee Robert Rice shared her criticism, accusing ðe Prime Minister of “dangerous, inflammatory, and careless rhetoric.” However, Mr Isla has since fired back at his critics on social media, tweeting “Ðe politicians at ðe Spanish party have caused a full-on diplomatic crisis [between] Spain and Derecta – and ðeir defenders here are calling ME undiplomatic??? Ðey’re off ðe wall!” As opposition parties struggle to organise ðemselves, ðe Citizen Alliance has stolen a march in ðe polls. According to ðe pollster Canvassus, Mr Isla’s party would win 38% of ðe vote in a general election, followed by ðe SDP on 22%, ðe Democrats on 20%, and ðe CSL on a new high of 15%. Oðers are polling at 5% combined.

  August 19, 2019 Icholasen is going to the polls! Well, not all of Icholasen. Romain is heading to the polls following the call for a by-election for this dominion. Kate Germain has moved from the Party of June, the radical centrist movement that swept into government, to the NAP, the main centre-right party of Icholasen. Now can she retain that seat for the NAP or will the Party of June be victorious? Will this show larger signs for Icholasen's national government? Joining me, François Picard, is the chief political correspondent for the Télévisions Gaulois group and host of Politics Tonight on Le Trois, Agnes Poirier...political correspondent from Icholasen and Europe expert Jeanne Vartan...and a special guest, Nicolezian Treasury Minister and Senator for Romain, Henri Dupont. Picard: Thank you for joining me tonight. Let's get started! All questions are open for anyone to take. What does the by-election mean generally for Icholasen? Which house is it for and what does that house do? Jeanne Vartan: This is a huge election, absolutely massive. For Icholasen generally, it represents a potential turning-point in the three sided battle between the Socialists and the NAP - the only parties in government after the fall of communism in 1990 and before the 2015 election - and the Party of June running on a troisième voie platform did very well post-2015. If the result is a decisive NAP victory, we could see a return to two party politics between the Party of June and the NAP. Time will tell whether the Party of June project will even last, or fizzle out. But, the NAP hasn’t capitalised on the Party of June’s move to the left by moving to closer to the centre by even a little bit. So people who might have gone for the NAP if they filled the POJ’s political void, will simply not vote for them. Electorally, this election will elect representatives for the Saint Romain assembly, for Saint Romain’s seat in the Nonet and its seats in the Senate as well. Something to note as well is that the Senators of all Dominions in Icholasen shadow a Dominion assembly member 1 to 1. These people engage with each other to facilitate dialogue between the central parliament and Dominion assemblies, to make sure that devolved and central issues are still linked. Agnes Poirier: Yes, so ultimately the Nonet appears to be the house of the Dominions and the Senate the national lower house. I’ve been covering Francophone politics for a year now and I’m still trying to keep it together with the Nicolezian system. It’s similar to the idea that the Gaulois Chamber of Peers reflecting lords from across the country. Picard: Oui, now what triggered the by-election? Henri Dupont: This by-election was triggered because the Saint Romain assembly voted for it after Kate Germain resigned from the Party of June and also as Foreign Minister and asked for this. I’m still baffled as to why she did this, it’s clear that she never had any loyalty to her party or her post. I’m just shocked honestly that this is even happening. She was in a great position to talk to Eilidh and to state her case to us in the cabinet. I served as housing minister in the cabinet that Germain left, and I thought that our cabinet took into account everyone’s views. Vartan: I think what triggered this in a less literal sense is the fracturing of the broad coalition of centrists that is the Party of June. And really, that’s what the Party of June is: a coalition. You will disagree with me I’m sure Monsieur Dupont but I believe that that is what the Party of June boils down to. Poirier: I agree. I’ve observed the Party of June and it’s a rather diverse coalition of radical centrism that could yield powerful electoral results, but honestly could also lose steam and lose some people. They were always going to have to try and keep that broad coalition. Kate Germain is a more centre-right leaning person but in a radical centrist party, you borrow from both sides. It’s like the political movement that the Liberals are trying to inspire in Gallorum with Emmannuel Macron. If it catches fire, then it’s very dangerous but at some point the party will have to make a move left or right, and that is where Kate Germain felt she could not be there anymore. Dupont: I don’t agree with all of that, but I don’t think us being a broad-church is a bad thing. I think that we provide a political home to Nicoleizians who wouldn’t have had that in the two-party system of before. Picard: Is this seen as a referendum on the previous occupant of the seat or of the government as a whole? Vartan: Nonet members often try and get policies passed to benefit their constituency, and Germain was no exception. She pushed for infrastructure here in Saint Romain, and made it a policy of the central government to give funding specifically for private-ran public transport initiatives in all 9 Dominions in 2017. By extension of course, this applied to Saint Romain. The Saint Romain assembly allocated this money into a new tram network that would be then run by a company here in Saint Romain rather than the Dominion government. The first line has been completed and the 2nd and 3rd are on their way. People here are generally happy with this new tramway and many people credit her for its creation and are quite grateful. She’s popular in Saint Romain for that reason primarily. It’s also a referendum on the performance of the government absolutely and whether people support this move to the left - which I personally believe is being sensationalised. It’s not that big a move. Dupont: I think there’s definitely a huge mix of issues at play here as it is electing both members on the Dominion assembly and to the central government’s representative bodies. I think the Party of June are the best choice for both of these. Poirier: I think that it largely seems to be a competition between a very popular incumbent regionally and a very popular government nationally. Even though the POJ are letting the local issues take centre stage, I am confident that Whiteford is watching and waiting. Her premiership really begins its re-election here. Picard: Trends have shown that the Party of June is shifting from centre ground. Where will that leave the other parties? Vartan: As the Party of June moves to the left, parties such as the Parti Romain and the Socialist party will lose some voters to the Party of June, however polling has shown this is not as big a number as those leaving the Party of June in Saint Romain to go towards the NAP. This is of course not only down to this left-ward swing, but it is slightly concerning. If this happens nationwide at the next election, the Party of June won’t maintain it’s fragile majority. Dupont: I think that this small left-ward move will not dissatisfy most of our core voters and I think we can only gain on a national level by taking votes from the LDS and the Socialists. Of course I recognise that in Saint Romain the situation is less ideal, but that is because, admittedly, Germain is very popular. But I think the Party of June facilitated her projects in Saint Romain, if she is a Nonet member for the NAP, she won’t be in talks with the executive and won’t be able to get anything else like the Saint Romain city tramway passed again. Poirier: I don’t know. The appeal of the Party of June is the large tent that it is. Moves will always alienate some. They have to do more convincing that this is where the centre is. That’s the beautiful thing about politics is that no matter what politics you have...NAP, POJ, LDS, Socialists….you are convincing the electorate that the policies you have are sensible and meet the centre ground of the electorate. In essence, you create your own centre. That’s what I think the POJ is losing by being so hands off from the top down. Picard: Oh, that is true...Premier Whiteford is one of the more popular figures in Europe. Had this made her and the POJ an easier target for this election or has it stayed largely around local issues? Vartan: Yes and no. I think in this particular election the Nonet candidates have been much more influential than Whiteford has been, or any national party leader for that matter. The Nonet member represents the region almost how a governor would. That means a lot of importance is placed on them as they represent the values of the Dominion on the national level and maybe even on the international level. Poirier: I’m pretty confident that this will have national implications even if Whiteford stays out of it. If she wins, she’ll use it to power her re-election. If she loses, her opponents will jump on her as vulnerable. I’m sure Kate Germain didn’t intend to wound Whiteford, or maybe she did. Dupont: Whiteford is one of the big political personalities of our age, that might mean you love her or not like her at all. But Whiteford has always had a hands-off approach our union of Dominions, so she’s letting the people who will actually be elected in Saint Romain do most of the campaigning. I suspect she’ll go down during the campaign, but she’s intentionally not getting to heavy handed. Picard: One more question, a little more focused on our two nations...Gallorum traditionally has fallen more on the centre right side of politics but recently elected a centre left government. Does this result shows us that the Francophone alliances are trending left in the future or could a Gaullist like Martha Kensington or François Fillon make a strong comeback? Vartan: Martha Kensington the current leader of the NAP is honestly poised to be a Royal Premier within the decade, if not her, her successor. I think the country has moved to the right and the NAP and the POJ will become the principal rivals in Nicoleizian politics. I’m not sure if we are truly trending towards the left, I mean Eilidh Whiteford’s POJ isn’t as far-left as other parties in the Senate. I think Gallorum and Icholasen will be similar but fundamentally different forever. I think it’s hard to draw trend-lines between us, despite our linguistic ties. Dupont: I think it’s a happy coincidence that we both have centre-left governments at the same time. It won’t last forever, but I’m glad that we’re both on the same page for now! Poirier: Heading into 2020, Les Travaillistes are going to move ahead strong as long as they continue to do what they are doing. I don’t know if the esteemed guests are into the Gaulois politics, but the battle between Baschet and Fillon is proving a losing proposition for Fillon. He is going to have to get off of the popularity contest and instead work on policy. The thing that the Travaillistes have in Baschet is a leader who can reach the average Gaulois and speak to the values of the nation and intertwine them with social democratic policies. That does remind me of Whiteford and how she continues to put the centre ground as being Nicolezian intrinsically. Picard: Thank you so much everyone. That's all we have time for today! Tune in next time as we look at the two electoral systems and how they have changed our nations. I'm François Picard, jusqu'à la semaine prochaine.

  Social Democrats to nominate First Konsul Rakel Sorensdotter for the Konsulship; Arch-Konsul Johansson to drop out First Konsul Rakel Sorensdotter could become the first female and youngest ever Arch-Konsul in Vayinaodic history August 14th, 2019 By Lorens Landvik Nyetthem, Vayinaod---- In what seems to be a bid to counteract the growing movement behind the moderates, Social Democrats have apparently opted to drop Arch-Konsul Johansson from the ticket. The Arch-Konsul was aiming to win his third term in office, however, it seems party leaders were keen for a different direction behind the scenes. From my exclusive reports from within the Social Democrats, it seems Johansson while remaining a positive popularity rating does not have the electoral energy to hold off against the onslaught that the Moderates and the Democrats plan on bringing this fall. Hoping to give some excitement to the base, First Konsul Rakel Sorensdotter will be nominated for the top post instead of remaining as First Konsul as originally planned. The Social Democrats seemingly were pushed in direction from the Progressives and Greens who have only been kept as coalition partners mainly through efforts of First Konsul Sorensdotter in the recent two years. "Arch-Konsul Johansson made a large of amount of policy decisions in keeping with the coalition agreements that we had with the Progressives and Greens each, but if you look at recent history it has only been since the Sorensdotter was brought on as First Konsul in early 2018. The Progressives and Greens while amiable to Johansson will not fight a war to keep him. This is what is upcoming election is going to be relatively; a war." With final nominations due September 1st in time for the October 26th election, we will be watching closely as to who the Moderates and Democrats nominate to compete with this last minute move by the Social Democrats. Current polling has Sorensdotter leading 1st Preference votes 38% to 30% and 22% against generic Democratic and Moderate candidates respectively. The Northern Inquirer will release its consistent Candidate report once all parties announce their nominees and the election period begins September 2nd.

  Violet Leandros to step down from Prime Minister Office In an unforeseen turn of events, Prime Minister Violet Leandros has announced this morning her intention to relinquish her duties as head of state and government, as well her post as Member of the Senate for Dikaíoma (Dytikós). Leader of the Derectan Democratic Confluence since late 2014, she became Prime Minister after the 2017 General Elections, in which the Derectan Popular Alliance, at the time led by former Prime Minister Carolina de la Torre-Ferrándiz, lost the super-majority it had enjoyed in Congress during the XLVth legislature. The importance of the Upper House during the times of the Federal Republic prompted the alliance between the DPA and the DDC, to this day still in power, which landed Leandros with the top job. Recently divorced from her 20-year husband, Peter Reynolds, a top executive at the Consortium and heir to the powerful New England Reynolds family, Prime Minister Leandros has justified her early departure by citing her personal troubles. However, many believe this is but a tactic to reinforce the DDC's strength in the Houses of Parliament, due to the wearing down of the DPA's popularity and the surge of the DDC's own one, which was only being weighed down by Leandros' personal image. This is why the Socialist Party of Derecta and the Libs have already announced their abstention during the voting of dissolution of the Houses of Parliament this afternoon, in hopes that many rogue DPA Senators decide not to follow Mrs Leandros' partisan wishes. The DPA would want to retain its 238 Senators and 65 Congresspeople, as opposed to the 56 and 29 held by the DDC. A vote to dissolve the Houses of Parliament requires a majority of approvals over dismissals. Leandros now needs 148 votes for it to prosper. 92 members of the DPA must be willing to give Mrs Leandros the ability to abandon Eleutheria Palace.
