September 3638 Announcement from the Government of the Aŭgustana Imperio - Pretoriana Prefektejo de Kobura (Cobura)
This press message was released by the Government of the Aŭgustana Imperio - Pretoriana Prefektejo de Kobura (Cobura). We, the Coburan Brotherhood of Homies, are proud to announce that not only did the Coburan right-wing's recent hissy-fit fail, it failed *spectacularly*!
In the election prior to this most recent one, the BoH lost our majority in the legislature, but managed to hold on to the executive branch of Cobura's Government. The citizens of Cobura obviously wanted a change, but not a radical right-wing one. They clearly wanted the right-wing laws the Praetorian Senate would pass to be moderated to the center when they were executed, hence Marquis Demetrius Jones and his Cabinet were re-elected.
The right-wing parties here in Cobura, however, were having none of that whole "checks and balances" thing, and so they recently forced early elections, which just wrapped up mere hours prior to this press release. Marquis Demetrius Jones had had enough of the opposition's antics, and so declined to run again. Instead, Skylar Cheeseman XXIX, our Party's Chair, threw his hat into the ring for Head of State.
Now, they say politics makes strange bedfellows. Well, the situation that just went down here in Cobura was no exception. Skylar won. He was elected with the help of a recently founded party, The Loyal Order, to whom we owe many thanks (and perks!).
Despite being very, very differently politically from us, The Loyal Order, disgusted with the CoR and BB's attempts to undermine the legitimacy of Cobura's executive branch (and having no real chance of being elected to the HoS position themselves), decided to support the Brotherhood's re-election campaign. We thank them for doing so.
As of this recent election, the right- and left- wings of Cobura's Government are tied in seat count, at least on paper. The Loyal Order, however, has agreed to compromise with us on some issues, and will allow us to restore some of the Homies' agenda here in Cobura. We look forward to compromising with them.
Two words, y'all: "ha" and "ha"!Signed, the Government of the Aŭgustana Imperio - Pretoriana Prefektejo de Kobura (Cobura)
