CHRISTOPHER SIMMONS RESPONDS TO ELECTION RESULT BACK IN DECEMBER:
Q: You made a prediction that the Talmorian Democrats would gain seats, and that took place, are you not unhappy you couldn't go all the way?
A: I'm going to say continuously what I said during the election season. If I don't win, I don't have a problem with it. President Pearson should be incredibly happy that he now has two election wins under his belt. I said during the election that if Pearson didn't get a second term in office I would've been surprised. Did I want to win? Yes, all parties wanted to win the Presidency. But we are here on behalf of the country, not for our own prestigious titles. Signed,
the Government of the Republic of Talmoria
