WA Delegate Elections
Recently delegate elections were held, and for the first time, not only was there a chance to vote for a delegate of New Liberalia, but to vote for one for WWSeti as well. Senorak Valley, incumbent Forthampton, and TiddyTeddy ran for New Liberalia, while Loslakia and Son of Hagge competed for the delegacy of WWSeti. Citizens of the forum with WA nations could only vote for one candidate in one region, not both. Here are the results:
New Liberalia
Senorak Valley - 5 votes
Forthampton - 2 votes
TiddyTeddy - 0 votes
WWSeti
Loslakia - 2 votes
Son of Hagge - 0 votes
Congratulations to the new Delegate of New Liberalia, Senorak Valley, and the new Delegate of WWSeti, Loslakia!
The Right Alliance - Labour Party Coalition comes to an end
The Right Alliance and the Labour Party ended their three month-long coalition last week. The agreement of the coalition stated that the LP would select the Prime Minister candidate for an election, while the RA would choose the Deputy Prime Minister. The roles would be reversed in a future election. After two terms of a LP PM (Palestine Free 2) and a RA DPM (Delta Golf Sierra), the RA intended to continue the coalition into the next election, with the RA choosing the PM candidate. However, the LP, led by newly-elected leader Prime Minister Kurt, backed out of the deal, leaving the members of the RA furious. Several bystanders in other parties were also disgusted by the betrayal and joined the RA. Meanwhile, PF2 stepped down as Party Leader of the Labour Party and was replaced by PMK as Party Leader and Julio Trigman as Deputy Party Leader. Shortly after, New Indie became the new Party Leader of the Labour Party.
New Parties forming
With the arrival of new members and old members, new political parties have formed. Now, in addition to the Right Alliance and Labour Party, we have the Conservative Party, Republican Party, Reform Party, Weed Party, and the Rastafari Movement.
Governmental changes
With a new term, PF2 made some governmental changes. Due to inactivity, Justice Minister Curiastan was replaced with Soccersian.
The Interior Ministry became the Ministry of Media, headed by Woolcott.
Random Textbox Inputs once again became the Election Commissioner by a ratification vote of 12-1.
Forthampton became the new Director of Public Prosecutions by a vote of 7-0.
Due to other commitments, Prime Minister Kurt (PMK) has resigned as Speaker of the Liberalian Parliament. He was replaced by New Indie. Best of luck!
Carops placed on parole
The "villan" of the Summer Revolution, Carops, asked to be allowed to return to New Liberalia, ending his sentence of a two-year ban after one year. He apologized for his actions that led to the Revolution. The Guardian Council considered his request and reached a compomise. The seven-member court ruled that Carops would be granted parole, meaning that he would be allowed to participate in role play, and with good behavior, his access could be expanded. Within a few weeks of his return, the GC decided to allow Carops to access Bahia Esmeralda (New Liberalia's capital city).
Carops inducted into the Liberalian Hall of Fame
The Liberalian Hall of Fame inducted its first member, Carops. Although a controversial figure in the region and the main cause of the Summer Revolution, Carops was undoubtedly the most important and influential figure in Liberalian history, creating the region after the Christmas Revolution. Many long-time members were recruited by him. Other Liberalians who were nominated for the Hall but failed to receive the necessary votes were Latagon, Fernetti, and Random Textbox Inputs.
Growth in New Liberalia
Increased recruiting has led to a growth in population in New Liberalia. For the first time in quite a while, the regional population has exceeded 80, thanks to the hard work of dedicated recruiters. Also, services to new citizens has been improved, with a new FAQ and an new citizens satisfaction survey.
We would also like to welcome new members Ého'néhevêhohtse, New Indie, Markuz, Expert Gramophonics, TiddyTeddy, Western Contradictions, and Nisadon!
