    Scottish Elections: Labour-SNP likely

    EDINBURGH---The Scottish Parliament is currently dissolved ahead of the May election. As of now, Labour is on 26%, the SNP have 24%. Scottish Tories have 18%, Scottish Lib Dems have 12%, Greens also on 12%, and various parties and independents collectively make 8%. Politics on this side of Hadrian's Wall seems to reflect an electorate that is moderately progressive; the SNP hasn't successfully linked progressivism with Scottish identity, like Nicola Sturgeon did. Labour, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying a slight Westminster bump but plainly has work to do.

    Sierra Elections Set for April 13

    SOUTH LAKE TAHOE---Premier Victor Manuel Castro Casio went to the Govenor-General of the Sierra Territory to dissolve the territory parliament to call an election. Traditionally, both major parties use the 'Country' label and technically their candidates are usually field more rural candidates. The parliament hinges, most likely, the right and left independents (referred to as the Teals and Pinks.)

    THE GOVERNMENT CALLS EUROPEAN ELECTION BETWEEN 6 JUNE AND 9 JUNE


    The Spanish citizens will head to the polls between Thursday and Sunday to elect their Councillor for the next five years

    Nothing was clear about holding European elections, with nothing meaning nothing in this case, but the puzzle has been solved: Spain will head to the polls between 6 June and 9 June to elect (or re-elect) their European Councillor. President Alberto Núñez Feijóo has announced his decision this morning, after being inquired by the press, and has already confirmed the People's Party candidate and Eurogroup affiliation: «the Speaker of the European Council, Donald Tusk, will be our candidate; and he will run under the affiliation of the Eurgroup he leads, the European Progressive Alliance».

    The reasons behind the call to the polls are still unknown, but some political advisors consider that Feijóo wants a victory that reaffirms him as the President of the nation, months after being elected by the Congreso de los Diputados after Juncker's resignation. He has not, just like his predecessor, been elected by the Spanish people, who elected Jesús Aguilar nearly two years ago. «Feijóo has had a victory in Galicia thanks to the majority his sucessor, Alfonso Rueda, has achieved; but he needs an election that ratifies his leadership in the entire nation, not in a single region. The question is: will he succeed, or will he make Tusk lose his job and the Speakership that he and Spain hold?», comments Europa Press' political analyst.

    Albeit is the move worth the risk? Europa Press has tried to contact the current Speaker and Councillor for the Kingdom of Spain, Donald Tusk, unsuccessfully; but it has managed to speak to one of his advisers. Being asked the very same question, his adviser told us Mr. Tusk "does not fear the will of the people" and that he (the Speaker) and his team were convinced "they would win by a landslide". The opposition, on the other hand, have welcomed the election but criticised Feijóo swerves in his opinion, confusing them and not allowing opposition parties to prepare, putting the bloc in what they call "an unfair position".

  • RE: Request for a Debate The Need for a Constitutional Convention

    Deputy Councillor Hook, I think that with my words and the ones said by former Speaker Tilkannas it should be enough to put an end to that theory, but I would like to correct you once again: the system has not made these Commissions inactive, the individuals chosen have. Saying the last four Commissions have been fully inactive is desproportionate, that would imply that Europe has not had an active Commissioner since July 2022, which is false. I can affirm that Jean-Claude Juncker and our Foreign Affairs Commissioners, even Internal Affairs Commissioner Wirt Harland have been active and working Commissioners.

    Even the attempt to create a non-existing issue over the European Development Agency is desproportionate. The Commission has answered all the requests that have been submitted, and nobody but Duchians, who are not a source of universal truth -to me, that is our Lord Jesuschrist and his words- complained. Are they complaining because these problems are real, or because some of their projects got rejected? The whole situation feels like this meme I saw on the Internet, that I have decided to print and bring here for the sake of entertainment:


    (Tusk gets the picture out and shows the meme)

    Deputy Councillor, I will repeat what the real problem is: there are not enough candidates, there are not enough nations. Once more nations arrive to the region, you will see how the system will be back at work.

  • RE: A Ministerial Affair

    «No need to change anything at all, we might be a different Government, but all in all, we are all members of the same political party», clarified the Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation Minister. «Well, I think that is everything we had in the agenda today!», Esteban added, now that he knew what California wanted to discuss. «It has been a pleasure, Penny -Esteban decided to call the Minister by her first name, as they had got to know themselves way better throughout the summit- to have a nice chat with you. Anything California needs, just give me or any Government member a call. We are here to help our neighbour, and our relationship with California is considered prioritary», he said.

    Esteban then shook hands with the Minister, and after both said goodbye at the entrance of the building, the Californian Minister left. González Pons then shew up at the press conference programmed after the meeting, and gave the details and the outlines of the summit. Another summit completed, and Esteban was finally on holidays.
