Description[?]:
| "The LPS have not got the first idea about what is going on. A year on from the terrorist attack and they're too busy fiddling the books and selling off our national heritage to realise that one of our Cities has been stormed by rebels. It's not just ignorance, although not knowing Mendos is in Solentia is bad enough, it's such gross incompetance that thousands of lives are being lost because of it. Johnson has the blood of thousands on his hands. He's the Head of Government, he needs to take responsibility and resign." - Astryd Goldsea, Unionist Leader --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article 1: CONDEMNING the lack of action from the Government on the terrorist attack in Mendos, RECOGNISING that 12 months is an intolerable amount of time for a Government not to respond to a rebel take-over of a major city, REITERATING, for the avoidance of doubt, that Mendos is in Solentia and not Kafuristan, CHALLENGING the Government to take responsibility for their inaction which has led to thousands of innocent deaths This Senate declares that it has NO CONFIDENCE in Prime Minister Ted Johnson and calls for his immediate resignation. |

| Message | "Ted has done a spectacular job as Prime Minister! Look at the reforms our country went through. Right now our executive is as good as ever, and Julia Wise and Ted Johnson are not to blame for the attacks. The Unionists pick on the LPS because they do not see any benefit with negotiating with them, but the SDP and the ROS are both part of the executive branch as well, and they have taken about the same amount of actions dealing with the situation. The SDP, the ROS, and the LPS have all handled this situation with class and maturity. We didn't overreact and create paramilitaries, we did not overreact and make our nation into an indoctrinating authoritarian government, and we have managed the country with great confidence. Did we send these attacks? No. Did we promote violence? No. Do the Unionists, the SUN, and the FT have histories have promoting violence in Solentia? Yes. Should every Unionist legislative member resign? Perhaps, but it's not our place to determine that. Some people voted them in, and therefore, they have a right to be here. Ted Johnson is one of the strands holding Solentia together, and anyone who disagrees with that doesn't know what they're talking about. The same applies for Julia Wise, as the Unionists would be going after her as well, but they see benefit with negotiating with the SDP." ~Donny Kennedy, Secondary Chairman of the LPS |

| Message | "His attempts to pin the blame on his Coalition colleagues are spineless. We do condemn the entire Government for their inaction and bumbling incompetence during this crisis however it is the LPS who Heads-up the Government. The Prime Minister has final responsibility and their weak, slimy attempts to worm their way of it will not wash. Not ONE apology for the 12 months of life under terrorist rule for the people of Mendos. Not ONE apology for 12 months of not only inaction but no COMMENT on the situation. Not ONE apology for stalling, for bumbling, for stumbling their way through. Not ONE apology for not realising Mendos is in Solentia, for not realising this was a civil conflict, for not understanding the situation. 12 months of life under terrorist rule and this Prime Minister managed to propose budget cut after budget cut, sell off after sell off, tax cut for the rich after tax cut... No, we don't think we will pin the blame entirely on the SDP or ROS. We will point to the man supposedly in charge, the man at the top of the Government, the man ultimately responsible. And finally, I find it incredible especially that that very Prime Minister is too much of a coward to come before this Senate and answer for himself. Instead he sends his lap dog. Where is he, Donny? Looking for his constituency in the wrong county? It's a disgrace. Astryd Goldsea, Unionist Lead |

| Message | "I am right here, and in terms of dealing with the situation, I asked the SDP in private to come up with a plan of action for the situation, as they are the Minister of Defense. They did, and it was a brilliant plan, so I backed it. The best Prime Minister is one who knows that he is not an immortal. I have more of a hands-off approach, and I allow William Paul to come up with budget plans, and I allow Tom Rand to come up with industry plans. Also, I had given the SDP full reigns on the foreign affairs and defense, as they have more experience in that area than the ROS or the LPS. I also just told William Paul to submit a bill to raise spending in defense, and THE UNIONISTS REJECTED IT. How can a party be more disgraceful than the Unionists? They are a failure and a joke on the internet. Satires about corrupt Unionist politics and stupidity have been written on blogs, and there have been hundreds of thousands of complaints. Of course, because of their fundamentalism and hatred of modern stuff, they don't use the internet, so they don't know that. It then shows up in the lackluster voter turnouts they get in their elections. Then, what do they do? They proclaim that the Solentian people are morons for giving the Freedom Coalition legislative control, and they disrespect the executive branch that has kept our nation from falling apart. Frankly, I agree with Donny Kennedy." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister |

| Message | "You asked them when exactly? Immediately, one would hope after a city has been conquered by terrorists. And at what point did he ask them to hurry up? Because surely, as Head of Government he didn't leave it for an entire YEAR before asking when the MoD was going to liberate a city? He may want to pin the blame on the SDP but it is HIS Government. HE is responsible. Even if, and I doubt this very much, he asked the SDP to come up with a plan to liberate Mendos WHY did it take him an entire year to do it? A year of thousands of deaths. Nevermind raising spending in Defence 12 months after thousands of people have died - WHERE was the immediate action? He was, apparently, too busy browsing the internet. His sluggish and callous attitude, combined with his lack of leadership and blithe ignorance of basic geography, has caused what could have been a one-off incident lasting days to be a hellish nightmare and the slaughter of thousands lasting nearly 18 months."

| Message | "I DIDN'T PIN ANY BLAME ON THE SDP. We EXPLICITLY said we agreed with the SDP decisions. Do you want documentation of us asking the SDP for help? Here is the exact quote: Libertarian Party of Solentia (LPS): "I would like to contact the minister of foreign affairs. The SUN has requested that I, the Prime Minister, and you formulate a plan to stop advancements against our country. I'm honestly not sure what we should do, and I'm quite nervous that our lack of planning here will hurt both of our party's credibilities." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister Social-Democratic party (SDP): We consider building an alliance to stop Kafuristani agression. We should start preparing for possible attack. Internal terrorists should be stopped, because they spread anarchy and destabilize situation in the country. Paul Broussard, Foreign Affairs Minister. That is proof that we were concerned about the situation. The fact that we didn't make up paragraphs of pro-war propaganda doesn't mean we didn't care. We gave the SDP the control over the situation because they know more about foreign affairs than our party. I admit, I was confused in the situation, but a great leader is best when he's getting ideas from everyone. The SDP handled the situation EXACTLY HOW I EXPECTED. They handled it excellently, and now we must decide what to do from here on. This whole situation is rooted in the Unionist willingness to promote Ahmad a few years ago, and now it's coming back to bite all of us. Here is the dialog that the Unionists want other parties to have with them: "Other party: Thanks! You encouraged another nation to attack us! We'll forgive you because you are the Unionists, and we are scared of you. Unionists: Why don't we blame the LPS for the situation because they have radical ideas that alienate some people? Other Party: Sounds great! The LPS promote freedom, but I'm in the government and that gives me less power!" Doesn't that sound ridiculous? It does. And it completely represents how the Unionists interact with people. Of course it was satirical, but it still was true. We are the first party that has stood up to their nonsense. The SDP is a socialist party, and they decided to aline themselves with us instead of the Unionists because we are ideologically consistent. We picked up the ROS because of our willingness to have freedom. Even us and the ROS have major economic difference, but we constantly compromise for the good of everyone. Do you actually think our last income tax was what we wanted? We proposed it because it's what the ROS wanted, and it was a combination of multiple ideas. It even had some aspects of it that were left over from the days of Chann. Overall, I'm very distressed by this situation, and if the Unionists have any good ideas in handling the whole terrorism thing, then they should tell us. Give us your best!" ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister |

| Message | "Actually, we have seen the SUN as BETTER THAN THE UNIONISTS as of late in terms of promoting peace and compromise. They've had some good ideas, and people often dismiss them, but the Unionists have certain parties hanging by strings like a puppet." ~Donny Kennedy, Secondary Chairman of the LPS |

| Message | "I am glad to see that the Prime Minister finally publicly admits that he was confused about the situation and that he and the SDP discussed their lack of planning. It is shame that that apology is not directed more toward the thousands of people dying in Mendos waiting for him to take action. The Prime Minister is right to be distressed because his lack of action and his lack of understanding of the situation for over a year has caused thousands to die at the hands of terrorists. He is very good, it seems, at pinning blame on everybody else. First it was the ROS and SDP because they hold some ministerial positions, then it was the SDP because he told them to do something and they were slow to do it and now it's the Unionists because of some conspiracy theory he has about Ahmadism. WHEN is he going to admit that HIS inaction and HIS lack of leadership and HIS ignorance of the situation has also been a factor? The Unionists have already called for the Government to liberate Mendos. MONTHS ago. We have already proposed changes to the resolution on Tesuhen and worked with other parties to amend proposals. If he is as distressed and confused and out of ideas as he now admits that he is, perhaps the time has come for him to give it up and step down. Resign, Prime Minister, it is the only credible way out of this situation for you." Astryd Goldsea, Unionist Leader |

| Message | "WE HAVEN'T PINNED ANY BLAME ON ANYONE. The Unionists have lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and lied about that. I said that I was not experienced in the matter, and therefore, I gave the situation to the SDP. They did NOTHING wrong and neither did the ROS. The only thing I did wrong was my lack of knowledge about the situation. We are very angry about all the death, but how do you know that really happened? Some of the people that Unionists claimed were dead just showed up at my house for dinner last night (they were family friends). There is no medical records of them dying, and it was literally made up. One of them even wrote a book on how they have been alive the whole time. It was called "I'm Not Dead", and the Unionists should read it! The Unionists are admitting that they believe that people can be alive and dead at the same time. Are they claiming the existence of zombies? I admit, some people have died, but our military has dominated the terrorists in every situation that they have been in conflict. I bet the Unionists did not know that because they don't pay attention to our foreign policy!" ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister |

| Message | "So what, then, if he is so pleased about his handling of the situation and the SDP's role, took a YEAR? If it was such a master stroke of political savvy and genius- why did it take over a year for even a single public comment to be made by your administration?" Astryd Goldsea, Unionist Leader |
