This press message was released by the Government of the Republica Baltusia.
I, Rosamund Melise Kurita, announce that the Liberal Party of Baltusia will be seaking the Preatorship in the upcoming elections. I however announce that I will not be the nominee for Praetor. A woman, not even in the Senate, will run for the nations highest office. Narcissa Valérie Jepson will be our candidate. I'd also like to announce that after long hours and hard decisions, we have picked who we will endorse if we don't get on the ballot. This is a party that is currently leading Baltusia. Okay, I will give you the top three parties that we [The Liberal Senators] voted on. Every party in Baltusia was nominated, however, only four parties actually made it to our final decision. The vote was:
Socialist: 5
Baltusian Pantian Alliance: 4
Orange Party: 2
Fine Gael: 2
National Party: 1
Paraplu: 0
The National and Paraplu Parties were eliminated. We next voted on these four parties. The Pantians were the first to be voted out, with the Fine Gael coming in first. On the second ballot, the Socialists were defeated and so the Fine Gael and Orange Parties were our final decision. The vote was 9 to 5. We had picked our endorsement. We the Liberal Party of Baltusia endorse for the office of Praetor...Signed,
the Government of the Republica Baltusia
