President Robert Bell Sworn In; Delivers Inaugural Address

Image

BEKENIAL, ADELIA -- President Robert Bell spoke to several hundred supporters following his swearing in ceremony. His address covered national unity and other issues.

Today, the national nightmare of disunity takes the first step toward closure. The new government will bring invesigations to a truthful end, and we will finally see the light of clarity as it shines forth. We are not a nation of sides, we are not a nation of provinces disunified, we are a united federation. Together, we are strong. The people of this nation do not wish to see in-fighting, parliamentary tricks, or indeed international intrigue. What the people of Hutori want from its leaders is peaceful cooperation. As your new President, I will work toward this as my goal.

Robert Bell has reportedly given him instructions to begin long-reaching reforms for the party. There was strong murmuring prior to the election that if Robert Bell were to lose the election, then the party would have to disband into an alliance of independents. It will be Big Mac McDonall that decides how the party can be better unified in the face of national upheaval.

Alternative Reforms Into National Monarchist Party

NMPH Leader Tom "BIg Mac" McDonall Announces The Formation of the Party

ACTON, ADELIA -- NMPH Leader McDonall announced today that Bell's Alternative Party, itself a transitional organization, has announced will reform into the National Monarchist Party of Hutori. "What Hutori needed a decade ago was a different voice, one that called for a populist rebellion against republican values, of pushing away tradition and the hardworking businessman. Now, the National Monarchist Party will represent those who want a party that's unabashedly monarchist, but also represents the interests of those who want a smaller, sleeker government."

The National Monarchist Party has not announced its intentions for the elections, but this may be because they are 3 years away.

The National Progress Party push for many new reforms

Yesterday, the National Progress Party took a lot of people by suprise by quickly proposing a lot of new radical reform trought the parliament. This was most unexpected knowing that the for the pas few years, the National Progress Party has keep themselves relativly quiet and mostly proposed moderate bill. Namingly, the National Progrss Party proposed the 'Bill NP-66:Health Reform Act, the ''Bill NP-67: Marijuana Act'', the Bill ''NP-68: Fair Trial Act'' and the ''Bill NP-69: Secular School Act''. After proposing these bills, the Chairman of the National Progress Party, Owen Denoncourt, explained that his party had proposed these bills because their party recently decided to modified drastically their approach and that they set a new list of priority for the party to achieve in the next years. These priorities are :

-Abolishing Monarchy and restoring the Federal Republic
-Raising the Minimum wage
-Restoring abortion rights
-Making Healtcare Free
-Restoring free legal representation for defendants in criminal trials

Later that day, during the annual congress of the National Progress Party which was held in Kincardine, the leader of the party and Prime Minister Jusitne Bates made a 40 minute long speech about these reforms. Here is a extract of that speech:

''It is time for the hypocrisi to stop! We cannnot continue to look at our perishing nation, where domination of a cruel system that imprison the innocent and torture the weak grow stronger and stronger by the day, without doing anything! Year and years of extrem capitalism and neo-liberalism control over the political spectrum of Hutori have legalise fraud and exploitation all because of a so call free market. They used fear and manipulation to convince the people that their suffering was for their own good. That the the so called ''fair competition'', that never trully existed, would eventually make them rich and live a confortable live. Lies! All lies! We can't allow this broken system to continue! A system that allow innocent people to be jailed simply because they don't have money to pay for legal representation, a system that allow the division of our children into ideological and religious bubble were their can ear nothing else than brainwashing. This must stop!''

NMPH Holds National Convention

President of the Commonwealth of Hutori Robert Bell

ACTON, ADELIA -- At the party's first national convention, President Robert Bell was easily chosen in a near unanimous vote as the party's chairman and presidential candidate. One elector from Lagard observed, "when Bell was Prime Minister we had harmony and peace, and now that he is President we have harmony and peace. This is no coincidence!"

Bell hopes to win re-election on a platform of having fair trials for the many investigations following the tumultuous presidency of John Jackson, increasing civil rights and government transparency, and allowing more citizens to compete in the economy. "We want a peaceful, prosperous nation," Bell said in his convention speech. "I will cooperate, I will make deals, I will do whatever it takes to deliver on the promises I have made to this nation!"

Party Leader "Big Mac" McDonall, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, won re-election with 63% of the vote, indicating that the monarchist faction remains in solid control of the parliamentary aspect of the party.

President Robert Bell: "This Is My Last Term"

Image

BEKENIAL, ADELIA -- President Robert Bell, in a speech to the members of parliament from the NMP, has announced that he does not intend to run for re-election. "I have been President for 6 years, and Prime Minister for 4 before that. It is time for new blood to lead the fight for democracy, and to preside over this nation's government. This is my last term, and soon I will endorse another candidate. The National Monarchist Party needs to focus internally, on increasing its number of seats, and not on national leadership in the coming months. I will remain on as chairman until the next National Convention in 4574."

It is reported that potential successors for chairman of the party are already organizing. Natural candidates include current Party Leader "Big Mac" McDonall, Minister for Trade and Industry Luther Meeks who leads the Libertarian faction, former Minister for Education and Culture Clinton Bird who leads the pacifist faction, and former Premier of Lagard and current Minister of Justice Jane Burton. However, none have announced yet.

Rumour: Scheer For President?

Image

Rumours have been running rampant throughout Bekenial this week that Royalist Conservative Caucus Leader Ryan Scheer is gearing up for a Presidential bid in 4574. The rumours come as a surprise since the Royalists have endorsed President Robert Bell and the NMPH for the last 2 elections. Scheer was recently seen leaving a meeting with President Bell and it is reported that Bell and the NMPH are considering endorsing him should he choose to run. With President Bell recently announcing that he would not be re-offering, it may only be a matter of time before Scheer officially kicks off his campaign.

After he left his meeting with President Bell, HBC caught up with him and asked why he was meeting with President Bell, and if there was any substance to the rumours.

"Well I can't really go into detail about the specifics of our meeting, but as the Foreign Affairs Minister I do have to have regular meetings with the President to discuss foreign policy matters. As for the rumours, I haven't made any decision yet, or even really given too much thought to putting my name forward. I won't rule it out, but I would have to have the support of my Royalist colleagues."

SCHEER ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL BID
Image
Ryan Scheer announces his intention to run for President in 4574 at a packed rally in Glentingham.

Royalist Conservative Caucus Leader and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ryan Scheer announced today that he will in fact be running for President, finally ending months of speculation. Scheer was joined on stage by Royalist Leader Pauline Allen, Liberal Caucus Leader Anna Carmichael and Party Chairman Joshua van Lohr. The Royalist Party quickly United behind Scheer and nobody challenged him for the nomination.

The rally was held in Glentingham, Adelia and it seems that location was picked for a strategic reason. The Royalists only hold 6 of Adelia's 83 seats, one of them being Glentingham East, and are going to need to perform much better in the province come 4574.

Scheer spoke on a range of issues during his speech to the thousands of supporters on hand, but notably he thanked President Bell for his service to the nation and said that he looks to carry on Bell's legacy as a calm, collected leader who always acts in the best interests of all Hutorians.

President Bell Endorses Scheer For President

Image

BEKENIAL, ADELIA -- In a much anticipated announcement, President Robert Bell announced his endorsement of Minister of Foreign Affairs Ryan Scheer for President of the Commonwealth. In front of a crowd of reporters, Bell said that he would not only vote for Scheer, but use the National Monarchist Party's influence and electoral machinery in favor of Scheer.

In my years as President, and before them as Deputy Prime Minister, I got to know Ryan Scheer very well. He is a capable leader, a reasoned mind, and a reformer for his party. What Hutori needs is not a firebrand, not a radical, but a pragmatic leader. There is dissonance just under the surface of Hutorian politics. The only threats to liberty do not just come from the fascists in the National Salvation Front. They also come from the political left, with threats to our economy and our way of life.

We have seen repeated threats against this country by socialist forces who have bankrupted our energy industry. Now they intend to worsen the damage. Hutori must stay a strong market economy, and the leader of the world economically. It is our way forward, and Ryan Scheer will lead us down that path.

Anti-War Film "Death Company" Stirs National Controversy

Image

PORT PROSPERITY, KENAI -- At the first screenings of the new anti-war film Death Company, protesters have reportedly begun picketing screenings of the films. Death Company takes place during the Great Terran War, and stars Hutorian actor John White and is directed by Rudy Stone.

The film has become an object of political controversy due to the depiction of Hutorian soldiers as villains rather than heroes. There are extensive scenes where citizens are accidentally killed, and where one Hutorian soldier attempts to rape a woman.

The Hutorian Legion, a pro-military veterans society, has denounced the film, as have several prominent politicians. "This movie is a travesty!" said Hutorian Legion President Bill Reed. "It depicts the historical heroes of Hutori as nothing more than barbarian apes, when really they were the defenders of civilization!"

Director of the film, Rudy Stone, has defended the film. "This is a fictional story, but it's not far from the truth. War is hell, and these type of things were not uncommon."

Clinton Bird, former Minister of Education and Culture, has reportedly invited President Robert Bell to a screening of the film. "It's a story we all need to see. We let ourselves get too hyped up by promises of glory, and we nearly went down that path recently with this situation with the National Salvation Front. Hutori needs a reminder that war is the worst thing, and should be avoided at all costs."
