The situation over Benson Air Force has become a flashpoint between Hutori and Telamon and its hope this final set of talks with finally break the tension between them and begin the situation of attempting to rebuild their otherwise shattered relationship.

The Hutorian Delegation will consist of Prime Minister Karley Power, Defence Minister Cedric Woodbury, Foreign Minister Adam Wright and the Hutorian Ambassaor in Telamon, Patrick Dale.

Farmers Party Emerges in Hutori

The Farmers Party in Hutori has declared its position as a national party. The party is based on the Free Farmer movement that started in Saridan in the early 39th century. Saridani writers John Van Heller and George Van Tassel were leaders in the early Free Farmer Movement.

The two paternal documents of the Free Farmer movement are the Farmer's Manifesto, and the Farmer's Demand. John Van Heller authored the Farmers Manifesto, and George van Tassel wrote the Farmer's Demand.
(OOC: Farmer's Demand Full Text: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/The_Farmers_Demand,
Farmers Manifesto Full Text: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/The_Farmers_Manifesto)

The movement started in Hutori in recent years in the Kenai region. The region is very agricultural and the Farmers were sick of what they viewed as abuse by the elites of Hutori society.

The movements leader in Hutori was young adult Steven Halpin. Halpin is now 22 years old, and he is the leader of the party.

Platform

- The redistribution of land
- Anti-industry policy
- Agricultural Debt Assistance
- Bank reform, abolition of the central bank
- Nationalization of Energy generation and power grid
- Government Regulation of daily working hours
- Nationalization of Telephone Companies


The emergence of this new party should really shake up Hutori politics.
“The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.”

COSTIN ANNOUCES INTENTIONS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 3960

Kincardine, ROCCATO
- Today Logan Costin, Chairman of the Civic Party and MP for Kincardine, announced his candidacy for President of the Federal Republic in 3960. Costin who has become a very popular member within the Civic Party, something that could not be said by Logan's father; former Chairman Dr. Joseph Costin. Costin who first appeared on the Hutori political scene in 3946 after being named Minister of Internal Affairs. His relative inexperience led to his demise as he was replaced in 3952. Costin would go on to win the mayor election for Kincardine in 3952 and served a two year term before replacing incumbent Mark Lexington as MP for Kincardine, a office he still holds.

The Civic Party also announced that Senior Deputy Chairman Blake Lexington will assume a interim-like position to take on the Chairman's day-to-day task and duties while Mr. Costin focuses on his campaign efforts.

RCP TO NO LONGER PARTICIPATE IN "POPULARITY CONTESTS"

In a surprise move Royal Conservative Party Leader Roslyn Woodbury, great-granddaughter of mythic Conservative political figured, Earl Alexander Woodbury, and granddaughter of Cedric Woodbury, has announced that, with support from the RCP President, would no longer be fielding candidates in Presidential races.

As we have seen in the last view campaigns the RCP has done progressively worse and that I believe is directly connected to the ever burgeoning budgets for the race to the President's Mansion along with tiring of the same tired politics. Its time for a change. Instead of wasting our times and resources attempting to win the Presidency the RCP will be focusing all of its energy towards restoring the House of Steuart-Adelia back to its rightful place as Monarchs of Hutori and that begins by rejecting the Presidency, the apex of the Republican institution which does nothing for the Monarchist cause. Starting from the 3960 election and moving forward the RCP will no longer field any Presidential candidates, instead giving our time and money to our brave MPs to win elections and get our voice back in Parliament. We will only endorse candidates that support a restoration of the Monarchy or are at least willing to hear our side of the argument instead of simply dismissing it like most Republicans do.

When ask what parties she might endorse, she refused to comment merely saying "Any Republican candidates will not receive our support, not that they want it. As far as they are concerned, they are right and we are wrong. We will prove to them how wrong they are."

Hutorian Fourth Fleet To Deploy To Majatra

First the time in near 25 years the Hutorian Navy will be deploying overseas. From Port Prosperity Naval Dockyard elements of the powerful 4th Fleet have been sighted going south, allegedly linking up with the Trigunian Mad Dog Fleet en route to Al'Badara. The Hutorian Naval Task Force is rumoured to be comprised of a quartet of Bekenial class Frigates, a quartet Mashacara class Destroyers, a Guardian class Resupply vessel and lead by the Queen Sarah, one of Hutori's modern Aircraft Carriers built during the tenure of former Defence Minister Cedric Woodbury. While the Hutorian Defence Ministry wouldn't offer any comment, Admiral Erik Steuart, the Chief of the Defence Staff said the following. "Is there a problem with the Hutorian Navy performing exercises and manoeuvres with its Trigunian and Dovische allies?"

Rampant rumours are circulating that a trio of Sentinel class Submarines (OOC: RL Astute class) are escorting the Battlegroup. The HNS-Queen Sarah's commander, Commodore Lesley Frasier was unavailable for comment.

COSTIN APPEARS ON HNN'S NIGHTLY SHOW WITH BYRON GATES

Kincardine, ROCCATO -
Last night Civic Party Chairman, MP Logan Costin, appeared on Hutori's most watched late-night talk show, Nightly Show with Byron Gates. Costin addressed many issues that have arisen in Hutori over the past few months. Costin answered questions about National Action Party Leader, former Prime Minister Bobby Powell, the recent 'anit-homosexual' attacks against the Country Party, recent Naval activity and the upcoming election in 3960.

Image
Logan Costin on the Nightly Show with Byron Gates

Logan Costin on Bobby Powell
"Powell... the guy is a disgrace. He is very narrow minded and honestly he is dangerous. What scares me is there are a lot of sheep following him blindly... The man breeds hate and violence and its unfortunate that Parliament has allowed him to continue to tromp around. When Minister of Justice Czar Tomlinson tried to bring sanctions against him (Powell), Parliament sat back and allowed this man to continue to fear monger and spread his hate."


Logan Costin on Attack on the Country Party
"It is a real shame what happen but I think the Country Party dug their own grave. The Country Party more or less supported Bobby Powell at various times since his arrival, including during the Parliamentary Hearing with Bobby Powell. Now they are finally realizing that 'hey that guy doesn't like homosexuals". I know this whole mess has nothing to do with Mr. Powell, although I wouldn't be exactly shocked to find out the alleged shooters were hired by a member of the NAP, but I can't help but feel like if maybe they would have stood up to Bobby Powell earlier this whole mess may not have happened."


Logan Costin on Naval Activity
"From what I understand they are conducting a exercise and its really not news worthy at this point."


Logan Costin on 3960 Elections
"I think we can take the Presidency. I don't think President Reese will be re-elected, not with the recent polling number how they are looking. It scares me that Bobby Powell could possibly get enough sheep to the polls and elect him, that's why I had to throw my name in the race."

COSTIN CAMPAIGN STOPS IN AYLESBURY

Aylesbury, LAGARD - Logan Costin's campaign stopped in Aylesbury for a Civic Party rally. Costin addressed many hot topics with the crowd of nearly 15,000. Discussion included the Hutori Arise-NAP situation, criticism towards Bobby Powell, and recent policy regarding foreign investments. Costin, who has seen a recent jump in the polls, is currently trailing only Bobby Powell after jumping incumbent President Simone Reese.

One topic that was frequently brought up during the discussion was recent controversy regarding the Powell family and Hutori Arise.
"Honestly, I'm happy for Matthew Powell. The young man needs a lot of support and (Arthur) Kirkland is showing tremendous character with his actions. I only hope that the public will pay close attention to how Bobby Powell handles this situation, because we are definitely about to learn Bobby Powell true colors."


Another hot topic for the night was Bobby Powell himself.
"Bobby Powell is a nothing more than a nuisance that my colleagues have allowed to run free for too long. Its scary that this man has a chance to be President, the man was to build a giant wall to keep our neighbors out just because he don't like the color of their skin and the way they worship. He is the absolute worse thing that could happen to the Federal Republic and I have said it before, I think the Monarchist are supporting him just to push their agenda and restore the Monarchy without regard of those who could suffer in the process."

Kirkland Holds Rally in Hometown

Kirkland returned to Axeminster, where he grew up to greet a crowd of 29,000 supports and activists. Kirkland spoke about the up and coming election and made an announcement saying he had received the backing of the Royalist Party in the next presidential election. Kirkland believes it will be a straight fight between Hutori Arise and the Civic Party.

This is a straight fight between us and the Civic Party, the NAP don't have a hope in hell of getting anywhere near the second round of the after the shambolic attempts at running a government. Despite our best efforts we could not work with them, we walked out at the right time. We must present ourselves as a moderate and sensible alternative to the NAP.


He also commented the recent defection of Matthew Powell to his party and the recent accusations landed against Jeremy Powell.

The fact Matthew had the guts to switch party and report the abuse he suffered from his father makes Matt more of a man than Jeremy or Bobby will ever be. Matthew will make a wonderful addition to the party and will be helping me in campaigning in my own constituency and the presidential election. He is still living with me temporarily and is settling in well.
Formerly known a 'little boy Forwards!' in Dorvik, and sticking it. Ideologically messy. Chill as all fuck. Communicates through sarcasm. Currently playing in Luthori as the Civic Party.

MINISTER TOMLINSON CALLS FOR BANISHMENT OF BOBBY POWELL FROM HUTORI GOVERNMENT

Today in Bekenial Minister of Justice, Czar Tomlinson will call of Parliamentary Hearing to discuss imposing sanctions of the Young Actionist, the NAP and their chairman Bobby Powell. Minister Tomlinson held a press conference earlier this week and let it be known he will fight to see sanctions brought to Powell and the NAP. This isn't the first run in between the NAP and the Ministry of Justice as this is the second attempt by Minister Tomlinson to bring sanctions on Powell. In 3954 Minister Tomlinson held Parliamentary Hearings to try and bring sanctions but fell flat with no real support from Parliament instead The NAP drew support from the Country Party who condone the NAP's actions.

Minister Czar Tomlinson held a Press Conference earlier this week addressing the latest NAP scandal.


Minister Tomlinson released an official statement regarding Bobby Powell
"former Prime Minister Bobby Powell has proved numerous times that he stands for hate and violence. He has also proven his lack of being able to efficiently run a government. This man is a cancer to Hutori and we must put an end. Today I will formally propose to Parliament sanctions that would banish Bobby Powell from having any involvement in governmental affairs or political activity."

Viral Outbreak in Hutori, Weaponized Contagion Suspected

Today an estimated 256 people were potentially exposed to a viral contagion. The pathogen was that of Influenza type A classification. Hutorian pathologists stated that it bears remarkable similarities to the H7N3 strain however, it seems to be much more virulent than the base virus. This has led many Hutorian pathologist to conclude that the particular strain in question is a weaponized version of said strain and that the current outbreak maybe the result of a coordinated biological attack. At this time the International Center for Disease Control has started to coordinate with Hutorian medical institutions and while not officially agreeing with the sentiment of Hutorian pathologist. They have admitted that the evidence does seem to indicate that the theory may hold water. All of those exposed were taken to local hospitals in Roccato and are now being held in quarantine. Everyone else is being urged to remain calm and to stay indoors if at all possible. The government has yet to comment on if this is an attack and who may be behind it. Health Minister Brown has likewise been unavailable for comment. We will keep you updated as the story develops.
