Voting deadline: September 4225
Description[?]:
| "This mess that is caused by the coalition of chaos clashing with our madman president. Yes, they were all elected in a democratic manner, but it doesn't mean that it was the right decision; people were in a bad state after the liberals and Marra. And the worst thing is that not many people are opposing this madness - and yes, I did see the legions of people in Istalian cities - but I don't mean that. Not many people are organizing themselves and openly fighting against those monkeys in suits. Well, there is that Massa or whomever, but that is some fascist propaganda. We need a revolution. A radical revolution. And now I present the new movement that I and the political scientist, psychologist, philosopher and historian Flavio Monzula are starting, The Radical Movement". - Paulo Conti, CEO and founder of FACTdI |

| Message | Beniamino Massa, Leader of AI "Greetings! Thank you for mentioning me and giving me some credit, I shall take it as a compliment. This entitles me to a response: If by fascist, you mean putting Istalian interests first, then yes we are fascist. If you mean fighting for a free and strong market is fascism, then we are fascist. If you mean respecting the values, which we inherited from our fathers and their fathers through the generations, then yes we are fascist. However I wouldn't call ourselves fascist. We are Nationalist, in all implications of that word. We put Istalia above everything else on our priority list, the Istalian people, whilst at the same time, we do not plan on establishing an undemocratic government, nor kill opposition not reach power through violence. Instead we use all democratic institutions to our advantage, and try to improve this country. Your plans are rather vague, and despite all this, you have talked nicely of me and therefore we stretch out our hand to accomplish common goals, as divided, we are simply fingers on a hand, but together we can form a fist and accomplish many things." |

| Message | "Come vanno le cose? I believe that a consensus at a basic level between our parties is possible; we both care about the common folk. I believe that we may help each other until the next election. I will gladly - even if only for a short time - take a part in that fist that will hopefully crush the current government. I will remember; nationalists, not fascists." - Paulo Conti, chairman of the iMR council. -Paulo Conti, chairman of iR |
