Message | We would vote for this IF and only if we have an agreement from the 2406 to also back the proposal as a compromise and stop the attempts at a full Balieniest restoration. We await their move. |
Date | 04:59:38, March 21, 2012 CET | From | Conservative Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Government Act 3276 |
Message | "The 2406 Party shall support this as a compromise in a positive direction TOWARD an eventual full Bailenist restoration. To my colleagues in the Crown Party, the 2406ers will not abandon republicanism; until each point of our Nine Point Plan is fulfilled, we will push forward for the restoration of the Federal Republic. Heritage and justice demand this dedication from my party. We hope that you will recognize our commitment and back this bill as a first step toward mending bridges; surprise us, Mister Greyhall. I yield." Carl d'Orame, 2406 Party Legislative Lead |

Message | OOC: Actually, just kidding. Forget that entire post. It's not how my party would act. IC: "The 2406 Party must solemnly decline this proposal. Its fabrication of the title 'First Secretary,' seemingly out of thin air, is an affront to Solentian tradition. Its refusal to relinquish the facade of nobility is contemptible. Its continuing claims that the Senate in any way is a body meant to advise the Head of State is ridiculous, and its equation of an unelected despot with the elected and traditional Supreme President is insulting. We apologize, Mr. Torvellian, but this is not nearly enough. I yield." Carl d'Orame, 2406 Party Legislative Lead |
