Jeremy Rizo new leader of Democrats

After the actions from the Movement and poor election results of Democrats which were part of CSD in the 4889 elections, Treva Heffington decided to step down from the leading position. Only few day after 13th of December and Heffington's announcement, Democrats have voted for new leadership. Their new leader, Jeremy Rizzo has been elected as the President of the Democratic Party of Likatonia and he has been classified by observers as social democrat and is ideologically close to Heffington. However, it remains uncless if CSD will survive since Democrats think that because of equal representation of three coalition parties, Progressives benefited the most mostly because they were new political force in the country and their voters wanted to some degree punish Labours and Democrats but stil voting for the liberal and pacifist parties. Jeremy Rizo is relatively unknown to the public and just because of this reason it is believed that Democrats wanted to offer fresh new face to the public in an intention to recapature voters who defected to PA.

The CSD has failed us: Park Jongin

The CSD has been unwilling to join us in withdrawing from Keymon FTA. We believe this is due to the greed of power and money as shown by the Democrats. The CSD has been threatening the VPF to withdraw from the Govt if we refuse to accept to their demands. The pacifist Left has been a key ally of the Keymonese authoritarians. We may consider dissolving the Cabinet


Controversial comments on Keymon:

The Keymonese people must know their place. Likatonian soldiers should show these sensually deprived men and women what a real man feels like. The President needs to get laid. We have a sex tape of the Prime Minister getting banged like a dog in heat. Such oppressed people I tell you. We could 'liberate' Keymon

President Canton Offer Official Apology to Keymon

President Julius Canton has offered an official written apology to Keymon over what he calls "disgusting and unprofessional comments" from the now dissolved VPF, he made the statement public this morning.

On behalf of all of Likatonia, I would like to offer an official apology to the government, people, and military of Keymon over the disgusting comments that were made, referring to your soldiers, by the Veteran's Populist Front. Those comments do not represent the people or the government of Likatonia, the Movement and VPF were far right parties who only wanted trouble, I hope our countries can make amends and leave this behind us.
Interested in not responding to ridiculous accusations, namely from Jakania, and Lourania, and now Valruzia

CSD celebrates a huge victory after 4893 Elections

After the collapse of CRP-PRP government and CRP dissolution, CSD began ralling on issues that are close to ordinary man. Since the rise of unemployeement and deterioration of economical conditions which began in the very late 4880s which in turn resulted in total colapse of fragile political system in Likatonia which was established in early 4880s, Democrats began turning to the left. This gradual but certain and seemingly inevitable change did result in the emergence of CSD - Coalition of Socialists and Democrats which consisted from two established and old parties (Labour Party and Democratic of Likatonia) but as well from relatively unknown and new political force until 4889 elections - Progressive Alliance. The combination of old and new, familiar and fresh new faces at the political podium resulted in relative victory at their first joint elections in 4889 when voters gave a strong mandate to the left and especially to the PA, saying no to the old right parties and no to the old parties in general. But left alone didn't hold majority as PVF a populist and syncretic party finished as close 2nd most voted list. The negotiations between PA and PVF were not that long, but were more exhausting and on brink of giving up on multiple occasions. As a result of PVF's political position this government didn't last long and Likatonia was faced with new early election held in 4991. In these elections, CSD again came on top in terms of votes, but right combined held majority which led to CRP-PRP government. Soon afterwards, it was clear that CRP's political platform was more libertarian and more liberal at foreign affairs than PRP's which led us to this early elections.The result of 4993 is quite remarkable because after 13 years, CSD began the first single list to held majority in the Senate after ULO. Some political analysists are sceptical of CSD's longevity because of political history of Likatonia where broad lists are formed but there is also another factor which some analysists think which should be taken into account. CSD is the only coalition in history of Likatonia which is ideologically identified with the left and does not represent a fussion of left and right as ULO and Lab-Dem-CRP or Dem-CRP-CPL coalitions did. However, some observers are sceptical of Democratic new left agenda, instead they point out that Democrats can be linked to right as well and some of those is Nicolas Ridley who says:
I would never trust Democrats in being left. Even though, this party may propose some even radical left bills, this party can work with right and even far-right if they deem that to be benefitial for them. We can't forget Turley I cabinet and Turley's flatering with nationalism and right-wing populism.

Some other political experts think that Turley I cabinet was forced and expetional move made by Democrats at the same. Maria Stevens says:
Democratic Party of Likatonia is trurly a centre-left social liberal party at its core and can on occasions shift from social democratic ideology to more broad liberal ideology and these are the values that Democrats certainly uphold from my perspective as at the time when Turley I cabinet, Democrats had to deny one of their promises and wishes.


However, one thing is certain is after the elections, Jeremy Rizzo is the new Chancellor, judging by our source which is close to Coalition of Socialists and Democrats. Here is the brief summary of Rizzo's speech after the CSD's win.
Yesterday, the people have given us, to the forces of peace, a strong support. We must not let them down as this support is an immense and is beyond our expection. Therefore, all CSD parties will be committed to improving the international relationship, especially with Keymon. However, we must stay pround and remain patriotic in our hearts but we can't humiliate other nations just because they are our traditional enemies. In fact, giving love and spreading it to the others is vitally improtant in order to show to the Terra that we are not naturally inherited evil and ultranationalistic country, but quite the opposite. On top of that, CSD will remain committed to the sustainable development while protecting the poor and saving our environment.

Defence Minister orders reduction in navy patroling mad Dog Island

Defence Minister Hannah Lamb has ordered that the national fleet patroling Mad Dog Ocean should reduce to normal levels. Lamb told LNN he thinks that this should happen becuase there currently is no threat to Likatonia from its neighbours. Previously the PRP increased military patrol in the Mad Dog Ocean to a staggering 621 fleets. Lamb told us that this just shows how the PRP{ don't want to work with other nations and would rather destroy Terra than make a better world for Likatonian citizens to live in.

Alfred Cook new leader of the Democrats

After dissapointing 4995 election results, Jeremy Rizzo asked for a little bit of patience and assured everyone that due to poor election results, there will be consequencies within their rows. However, after over a year since the elections took place, Rizzo had finnaly resigned, which led to new inter-party elections. On these elections, Alfred Cook won, which was seen as surprising outcome since Cook is belonging to the centrist liberal faction. After 8 years, social democratic faction won't lead Democrats and will be replaced by moderate liberals. Here is the short part from Cook's speech after being elected as party leader.

Democrats has long enough been too much suportive of CSD alliance. My first task would be to get Democrats out CSD because it's been ruining our popularity and not because CSD parties are bad or too lefties, but more because we were too much similar and were fighting for the same voter base while lossing our traditional strongholds. However, we will continue to support CSD-SWP government, but we will have to reach compromise on multiple issues. On the other hand, we must remain open for the potential coalition with Progressive Republicans in the future. Democratic Party will always stand on the people's side and we will protect our freedom and democracy at all cost from extremists. We must be the party which unites not divides.

Cruz Manufactring reveals their new aircraft

Cruz Manufactring has revealed their new aircarft today after spending 3 years in planing. The new aircraft will be called the CM-01. This airplane will be able to fly for around 4,500 km and could hold as many as 120 people. The company has also started testing the aircracft in the sky and expects that these tests will last a few more months and then after that the plane can go to market. Cruz Manufactring CEO Don Huncle says that Likatonia is filling a gap in the market for a new and cheap small aircraft from a developing economy. He also said that if this aircarft gets made on a large scale, many more jobs will be created and can be filled by Likatonians.
