ANTOINE THOMAS WINS DRP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION
Grassroots members decide centre-left Thomas is best fit for a PLP partnership

The leader of the Social Libertarian Group, Antoine Thomas, has won his party's nomination for candidacy of the President of Mordusia. Helped undeniably by the fury of the DRP over the Conservative's actions within Parliament, he was selected without the need of a second ballot as he saw of competition from three other strong competitors.

His election has come following Chester Fayette's remark that he would rather support a left wing PLP government than a Conservative one, due to the Conservative's introduction of an almost identical bill which has been dubbed as "political scheming" by the DRP. Followed up by a PLP statement suggesting some mutual support for the idea of a PLP-DRP coalition, it is apparent that there is strong political consensus to push the Conservatives out of power.

Thomas, who is one of the most left leaning members of the Democratic Reform Party, will be the best placed candidate to unite the two parties, with the candidate supporting extensive subsidisation programmes and subcontraction in order to provide free and quality services to citizens. This differs significantly from some of the most extreme right wing members, who disagree with any governmental oversight at all.

Following his victory, in which he received 52.6% of the vote, Thomas reminded those on the right of the party that he still believed in the "overthrowing of the socially conservative establishment," and that he wanted the same thing as they did for Mordusia:

To begin with, can I thank my opponents, Jaxon Riley, Finley Davis, and Chloe Jackson for making this a clean, open, and competitive race. Some people say that to be coronated and unchallenged in a party primary leaves you in the best position to push on into the presidential election. However, this party is made of individuals with unique opinions, and it is natural that even we won't agree on everything. These primaries help us to challenge our own beliefs, and prepare ourselves for the real race for the Presidency.

I understand that there are many people here who didn't vote for me. But I am not here to be the Candidate for a small portion of the party. I am here to be the candidate of the party as a whole, and I promise that I shall do all in my power to achieve that. We must now take the next step together in order to create the future that we want for our children, and rid ourselves of the tyrants leading our government.

And for those worried about my policies, I can assure you now, that I have the same aims as you. I want the fall of the socially conservative establishment, and a strong liberal society where businesses, workers, and consumers all have freedom from regulation. However, this is not what the current government wants. The current government resorts to political scheming, and archaic policies that infringe upon the rights of individuals. This is not acceptable, and will not be tolerated under any country I were to lead.

There is a large political consensus in this country. That consensus says that people are sick and tired of the unprincipled, and power-hungry Conservatives leading our country. I am honoured that you have chosen me to help lead that fight and try and claim back Mordusia for all of our sakes. Change is ours for the taking. We must clasp it now whilst we can. Thank you very much!


Members on the right of the party are split over how to take Thomas' nomination. Most seem prepared to support him, and unite under a redefined party position in order to get the Conservatives out of power. However, some extreme libertarians and members of the Patriotic Alliance have warned that Thomas signifies a step too far to the left, and that he doesn't represent the core beliefs of the party.

SOUL AND SPIRIT GROWS TO LARGEST PARTY IN MORDUSIA

After the election of July 4437, the party known as Soul and Spirit gained the most seats out of any party, winning 210/750 seats. The party, headed by social democrat Jayden O'Brien has been widely condemned by the rest of the nation for it's clear violent intentions. This condemnation has resulted in S&S being left out of cabinet considerations with the DRP.

Upon hearing this, Jayden O'Brien commented that "The Democratic Reform Party would rather support the enemy than their fellow socialists." Several media outlets now aligning themselves with the party agreed with this statement. But it is widely agreed upon, even by the supporters of Soul and Spirit, that this is not the case, and the violent intentions of the party are the cause of the DRP decision.

In further news, Soul and Spirit publicly announced they would not run a candidate for president months before the election. Instead, Jayden O'Brien said "I do not see the need to waste time campaigning for a useless and symbolic position reminiscent of our former oppression under the conservatives."

However, Soul and Spirit is now in a great position to influence the politics of Mordusia in their favour.

O'BRIEN CAMPAIGNS IN CANRILLAISE MAJORITY AREAS

Despite the fact there is no upcoming election and there doesn't appear to be much sense attached to specifically campaigning in Canrillaise territory when there are much greater population centers that have yet to be visited, Soul and Spirit leader Jayden O'Brien has expressed an intent towards focusing future campaign efforts on specifically Canrillaise, Saridani, and Aldegarian regions.

In a post on social media, O'Brien said "I feel as if the minorities in our countries have been ignored for quite some time. Ever since the disbanding of the Union of Canrillaise, there has never been any political parties that have paid attention to them. I would like them to know they have a voice."

Critics of the Soul and Spirit party have stated they believe this is a move to capitalize on the reform bill to give larger representation to smaller regions of the country that they have since voted for. Also saying that he was campaigning to a demographic that tended to be far more left leaning and sick of the current government than other demographics.

Following several speeches held in Canrillaise territory, O'Brien made an effort to visit several army bases on his way to ethnically Saridani territory that tended to be on the north side of the country.

This appears to have instigated fear in several notable opponents of Soul and Spirit. One even privately stating that the arrest of O'Brien would be warranted. And that he is trying to gain sympathy in the armed forces. Several cabinet candidates of the party and supporters call this needless fear mongering.

We will keep you posted.

S&S HOLDS PRIMEMINISTER WITH NEW CABINET

Considering the circumstances, it seemed inevitable.

You can call it fear of losing power or what they might do, you can call it pandering, call it what you will, this is the most dangerous thing this country has experienced since Saridan nearly nuked Rechtenburg. And the conservatives just cleared the path to let it happen.

The Free Democrats currently hold the title of head of state, as Jayden O'Brien continued to express his wishes not to elect a candidate for head of state. But Spirit now holds 31% of Parliament under their boot.

We have allowed a tyrant control of our once united nation. What will come of this is uncertain. But I have my doubts it will be good.

We will keep you posted

S&S BEGINS OPEN REVOLT

Yesterday at 11:34 PM, leader of the Soul and Spirit party, Jayden O'Brien, announced that he was openly revolting against the government of Mordusia, after gaining the title of primeminister and achieving the support of 31% of the nation.

He has openly called for the rebellion of all groups opposed to the government and those supportive of his party.

At 1:42 AM on the next day, a small group of rebels successfully utilized the element of surprise and greater organization to seize Rechtenburg.

Around that time, another attack on the city of Port Alexander failed. The rebels were poorly coordinated under a general of which the name is not currently known.

A large portion of Talasor and Sayoon are projected to quickly fall under rebel control, along with about half of Adubura, and other small parts of Sammodra and Hosmania. The rebellion currently is expected to control 35% of the country within the coming weeks, as the government is still scrambling to fight back.

We will keep you posted

SECOND BATTLE OF PORT ALEXANDER

Last night at 8:46 PM, the forces of the rebellion of the Soul and Spirit once again tried an attack on Port Alexander. Having a minor advantage in organization and the support of large portions of the city, Spirit came in fighting 60,000 troops with 80,000 troops.

Forces stormed the city on the south and east sides, with intense urban combat ravaging several portions of the city. Jayden O'Brien directly stated that he wished for the city to not be bombarded with artillery, a decision he has made very well known. He has also offered a full pardon to the Duke of Port Alexander if he only surrendered the city.

The Duke of Port Alexander eagerly accepted this offer, although it appeared to change little in the scope of things.

After many hours of long fighting, many forces of the Republic of Mordusia were seen retreating from the city, although guerilla attacks continue to the point we are writing this.

Estimated death tolls are 6,700 for S&S and 9,200 for the ROM.

Jayden O'Brien and his forces currently control the city, and are continuing to push through the state against the forces of the Republic of Mordusia, capturing Thessel Creek only a few days later.

ADUBURA OFFENSIVE

Yesterday, at 2:32 AM, 200,000 forces of the Republic of Mordusia, accompanied by a majority of their tanks, began to storm the state of Adubura.

The state was already resenting being under control of Soul and Spirit, being predominantly conservative despite their status as a state where minorities of the nation are the majority in the state, groups of which S&S made huge efforts to gain the support of.

It wasn't incredibly difficult to break through the lightly defended front line of the rebellion. Quickly driving them back. Once this news was apparent, Kein O'Brien immediately ordered a full withdrawal from the state of Adubura, and began concentrating forces on the northeast of Talasor.

Hasty defenses were assembled on the east of Talasor, expecting further attacks.

We will keep you updated.
