Description[?]:
| Tom Jones made a lot of noise these last days after the defeat of his party at the regional elections. He defended abortion and called the actions of the new government "a terrible blow for those who support women's rights and equality". He also said he would put forward a bill legalising abortion. He also called for "a union of all parties opposing the Leighton Weston Cabinet" and expects to receive "the support of all those who oppose Mr. Weston policies" in the upcoming impratorial election. Concerning the defeat of the left in the regional elections, Mr. Jones called that "unfortunate" and said "You know, I won the imperatorial election with 68 % of the votes. It's not the same thing at all. Of course, the left should have won but voters behaviours are somewhat a mistery. That's not over, we'll come back stronger in 2 years." |
