Bill: Resignation of President Joshua Edwards
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Libertarian Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill requests an early election. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline. Elections will be held immediately if the bill passes.
Voting deadline: February 4130
Description[?]:
| We, the National Libertarian Party, call for early elections as soon as we can reach a consensus. Although the election results have not come in fully yet, we can determine that the SUN has a majority in the senate. While we did win the presidential election, we feel that it is not appropriate to govern without a majority in the senate. The National Libertarian Party will endorse the SUN for president in these elections, should they occur of course. After this the NLP will be reinvented, due to the failure of the Libertarian ideas it so hardly fought to make commonplace in national politics. We congratulate all parties on their respective campaigns, and I thank you for the enlightening experience in being president of the Democratic Republic of Solentia. -Joshua Edwards |

| Message | "We shall not vote for general elections every time somebody decides they don't like the result. The NLP shall simply have to accept that they lost their status as largest party and that somebody else can provide a majority. They ought to act like statesmen, not petulant children. Perhaps, the Unionists should stand-in as President, as the most natural party of government in Solentia's history, until they are able to bring themselves up to standard." Scott Zidan, Unionist Leader |

| Message | The people of Solentia can see through your party's lies. And by changing idealogies so quickly after a general election you have betrayed all of your voters. |
| Date | 02:50:10, December 03, 2016 CET | From | Solentian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Resignation of President Joshua Edwards |
| Message | We encourage the NLP to reconsider their course of action following these elections. It is very possible to govern and not have a majority and we implore the NLP to stop this turn to fascism. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
