White Rose Vote to Allows DMC's, But Opposition Lose More Votes in the Diet!

The Democratization of the Economy Act II 4736 has passed with the support of the White Rose, ending their opposition to Democratic Workers' Councils running businesses after decades of a ban being in place nationally. The Act passed 104 to 46 as the LCP continued to oppose the legislation.

Duke Thomas of the White Rose said, 'We said we could support this and we will.. Democratic Workers Councils are no inherently bad, we opposed them for so long in the face of militant left wing parties like the Commies and the Red Party. Since we defeated them, the left seems to have matured and settled down, we are willing to see what these DMC's can do in business, and will review it in 10 years.'

The Common Wealth Party Leader, Aida Bat-Elle said, 'The democratization of the economy makes it possible to build a stable and profitable economy strong enough to compete in the world and act in the interests of the people. Only democratization and public will enable an economy and thus a society that really works. Therefore the restrictions should be removed in order to make possible for the workers to create democratic worker's councils. '

That is where the Opposition Parties success stopped however as the Government rejected bill after bill.

The Communists lost the vote on their Creation of a National ISP 4736 along party lines. They said, 'Internet connects the world. Luthori should be connected to the world with a public ISP. Private companies are only there for profit and not for the people. We will propose cheap prices for the service so that we can ensure everyone has access to the internet. We also prefer a public ISP so that websites that do not respect the law or are inciting to hatred can be blocked by the government.'

The Communists also lost their large education reform by 82 to 18 as all the other Opposition parties abstained. The bill would have abolished charter schools, re-implemented tuition subsidies, banned home schooling, mandated that political education is biased towards the Government, banned private pre-school education centres, banned all private schools and banned grammar schools. They said, 'We should have a centralised, free, public education system that works for everyone. Private schools should not exist because education is a common good that cannot be influenced by capitalists, anti-conformists, religious fanatics or by some sort of distant elites.'

The Pharmaceutical Affordability Bill 4736 also failed as the Liberals joined the Government to reject it. The bill would have implement price regulations in prescription drugs, whilst maintaining government subsidies for research and development.

Professors Union Rejects Strike Days Before Tutition Subsidies Re-Introduced!

Image

The Higher Education Professors Union (HEPU) have been balloting on strike action since the Conservative Government abolished all tuition subsidies but scholarships, and it was announced 48 hours ago that the strike ballot had won a majority of votes, but failed to meet the legal requirement to get a majority of all members as turnout remained low as the White Rose had promised for months to review the termination of subsidies.

The end of the ballot came about when Education Secretary, Frederick Nemri, announced the Tuition Act 4736, which unanimously passed today. The Government subsidise tuition for students from families classified as low-income or poor. Whilst not the universal subsidies Luthori has covered for over a century, it seems to have been accepted as a fair way to give access to higher education to those who can not afford it, whilst asking those who can, to contribute a little to the education system.

The Education Secretary also announced that the Government would not be putting a cap on tuition fees for those not subsidised, it would be up to the higher education institutions to convince students to pay the fees requested for their courses, or look elsewhere.

Transport Workers Union Claim They are Close to Legal Majority!

Image

The TWU have released a statement today saying that their ongoing strike ballot relating to public transport subsidies is close to achieving the majority required by law, to be legal. It requires 50%+1 members of the Union to vote to strike, not just 50%+1 of those that actually vote.

The Conservative Government terminated all subsidies to implement an entire user-pays system in public transport effecting most buses and trains nationally and regionally, which led to the TWU calling on members to authorise strikes.

Conservative Government Implement 'Final Stage' De-Regulation as Luthori Church is Strengthened!

Image

The Government have passed a raft of bills, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer said where the final-stages of a decade of re-regulation and investment in Luthori by this Conservative Government.

The Aliens Act 4736 mandates that the police must once more actively search houses for illegal aliens and puts them in integration centers when discovered. The Act passed 100 to 50 as the Communists surprisingly sided with the Government, without comment in the Diet.

The Prison Work Act 4736 mandates all able-bodied prisoners have to work during the day. The Act passed without opposition although the CWP and LFP abstained. The Communists said, 'Everybody works and criminals should too. If some people don't respect the law, they deserve a just sentence.'

The Whaling Act 4736 allows commercial whaling is legal, but the government establishes whaling quotas. The Government got the support of the Liberals to pass the Act 97 to 53. The Secretary of Food and Agriculture, Margaret White, said quotas would be released in hours.

The Airport Act 4736 ends all Government involvement in the ownership and operation of airports making them entirely independent. The Chancellor, Marquis Francis Stinson, said that all Government assets and shares would be sold this week. The Communists said, 'Our airports should not be private capitalist companies looking for profits but belong to the public sector and provide good services before everything else.'

The Eminent Domain Act 4736 saw a split in the Coalition parties again as the bill passed 91 to 59 but the White Rose supporting it as the LCP opposed. The CWP, Communists and Liberals helped pass the bill whilst the LFP voted against it. The Act allows the government to seize private property for vital government works and allows the Government to determine compensation for victims too. Although the Act does allow victims to sue the Government if they deem it unfair compensation offered.

Image

The Luthori Church, which has been around since 2132 and has been the official state religion for over 500 years, with the support of the White Rose, with minor gaps in time when the left have removed a state religion altogether.

The Luthori Church Act 4736 gives further strengthening to the state religion, after the religious census found a majority in Luthori associate with the Church. The Act makes public blasphemy a criminal offence, it bans the visitation of foreign missionaries, and allows the Government to nominate ministers of religion, but the appointment is left up to the religious communities themselves.

It is understood that Duke Thomas failed to show up for the vote as he is not a member of the Church, despite the last 10 generations of Weston Dukes being stalwart supporters and members. His wife Sarah is said to have planned a trip to Likatonia to hear John Benton speak, it is unknown if the Duke will be going with her.

Train and Bus Workers to Strike as TWU Members Vote for Action!

Image

The Transport Workers Union have released the results of their strike ballot this morning, in which they have confirmed that 51.3% of all members have now voted for strike action, with 17.9% voting against strike action and the remainder have not returned ballots yet.

The Deputy Imperial Seal Bearer, Duke Thomas has been in meetings with the Imperial Seal Bearer, Tina Jackson and the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Ryan Smith all morning discussing how the Government intend to proceed in light of the strike action actually being approved by Union members, the first successful vote in decades.

The Government has said they accept the result as legal, but reminded the TWU that public transport is regarded as critical to society, so they have a legal obligation to ensure a minimal service is provided, to ensure other key and essential workers can travel. The General Secretary of the TWU has said that they will ensure that 50% of services provided by their members are undertaken, he said this would be achieved by rotation of picketing if the strike goes on for an extended period.

Image

Half of the 17 private train companies in Luthori are reporting they have had strike notifications, although the numbers and actual impact are not yet known. South Western Railway, which provides services between Orange and Erneshire have said they are seeing large volumes of notifications from train drivers and personnel, especially in Oalapo where the LFP have their regional office, and in Agathion which voted strongly CWP in the last election as they won the plurality in Orange. A high number of intended strikers has also being reported by Central Rail in Clamfeld, the city of Shipleyriding near the capital where the Communists did well last election. Central Rail is one of the only rail companies which services all 5 Duchies, linking Fort Wiliam, Clamfeld, Horncastle, Adlerberg and Youk.

Bus workers across the country are saying they will strike, although since most of these companies are local or regional, it is much harder to get exact numbers. The Government are said to be expecting 15 % of bus and 10 % of train personnel to go on strike nationally tomorrow.

Government Offers Compromise But Authorises Dismissal of Striking Workers !

The Government have laid out their official response to the transport strikes which are gripping the nation for a 2nd day. The response is laid out in 3 stages;

1) The Government recognises the legitimate concerns of the TWU and workers in public transport, especially with how the loss of Government subsidies may effect their pay, working conditions and job security. We as a Government encourage public transport providers to use their profits and revenue to ensure competition to keep prices low, investment to encourage use and that all other options are reviewed before they look at measures which will impact staff.

2) That the Government shall introduce, before the end of 4738, legislation to implement full subsidisation for people with low-incomes, with the remainder "user-pays”, done via a National Travel Card for those in receipt of certain welfare benefits.

3) That all train operating companies and bus operators may, where is does not impact their legal duty and requirement to provide a minimal level of service as a critical provision to society, dismiss employees that go on strike within the next 30 days. This authorisation will be reviewed daily and can be extended or withdrawn.


The Communists and Common Wealth Party have come out in support of the strikes. It is not yet known what position the Liberals, Left for Progress, HLC, Nebular or LUF are taking.

Image
Duke Thomas speaks to press in Fort William

The Deputy Imperial Seal Bearer, Duke Thomas Weston, is holding a press conference in Fort William where he has issued a copy of the Governments 3-step response. We got there now live;

It is entirely legal and legitimate for the Transport Workers Union to take this action, they have followed the law and managed to get the required number of votes to strike. I disagree with their decision, but respect and defend their rights to do so.

Asking the Government to partially subsidise all public transport allows those who are well off, and could easily afford private transport or the full cost of a ticket, such as myself, to get a cheaper ticket which the Government pay part off. Why should that be the case?

I admit and accept that the full abolition may have been extreme. The Imperial Seal Bearer and I agree that we should provide support for those who need public transport as they may not be able to afford other means, and we are therefore going to offer a National Travel Card which covers the full ticket cost for anyone in receipt of low-income benefits or a pension.

However, we will not and cannot allow strikes to cripple our transportation networks. Therefore, the Conservative Government are authorising all 17 train operating companies and every bus service provider in Luthori, to fire workers who participate in this strike in the next 30 days, to be regularly reviewed by the Secretary of State, who may withdraw or extend this at his decision.

I encourage all operators and companies to seriously consider their options to cut costs if they relied heavily on these subsidies, they only covered part of tickets, we do not believe this is a huge revenue stream as we know it is not a huge saving to the Government to end it. They should all consider every other cost cutting option before impacting jobs.

The Imperial Seal Bearer will meet with CEO's and Board Members for train and bus companies over the coming days and we will continue to communicate with the public on what is happening.

On a personal aside, I ask all those who work on trains or buses to cross the picket lines and go to work. We will resolve this and you can protect your job by not striking.

The return of the Luthori Union of Fascists

Image
The crowd listening in on Mr. Brown's speech.

Its been over 400 years since the collapse of the Luthori Union of Fascists and many Luthorians are wondering why they are back now. Elias Brown the party’s new leader could be seen campaigning across the nation. In one of his fiery speeches in Youk surrounded by his supporters, Mr. Brown made brash claims against the left and the established government of Luthori saying,

Many of us true born Luthorians remember the stories we were raised on of our past. A glorious Holy Luthorian Empire which dominated Terra and protected her people. However today I don’t believe a single one of us can say that this country we live in is holy, Luthorian, or an empire. Our monarch, church, and international regard have been cast aside by left-wing radicals forced to be pushed to the side and ignored to appease the Yeudis and their globalist cronies! For too long we have been forced to hide our views, but I say no more! I refuse to see our glorious nation sink further into the annals of history chasing the glory of the past. Our best days are not behind us but instead, they are ahead! We shall create a nation for our children where they can look back on their forefathers and be proud that we ensured their future.


This speech drawing in both equal amounts of cheers and jeers. With the seeming rise of the far-right many fear that politics will be more divisive then seen before in modern time. The election is months away and it seems that we shall soon see if the Luthorians will reject Fascism or if it will be the dawn of a new era. All we can do is wait and see.

HLC BLASTS CPL, CWL IN DEBATE ON WOMEN'S BILL; CALLS LCP "SERPENT"

Image
Pope William II, leader of the HLC

FORT WILLIAM- Following condemnation fo the Bill: An Act to Safeguard the Rights of Women From Those Who Seek to Degrade Them http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=620575 by the CPL and CWL, the two largest Leftist opposition forces, and a NO vote by the LCP, the largest party, the HLC provided a decisive rebuttal to all parties, that some analysts have said is unprecedented in the Churchs 60-year political history.

I mean this is something. For the HLC to deliver such a fiery address to the Diet, it really is a break from the HLC that we knew for 60 years
says political analyst Dr.Rebecca Jasmine, a professor of political science and an expert on the HLC.

Provided is Dr.Jasmines analysis of the speech, in italics while the speech is in quotes

1) Punishes Adultery; no discussion required

2-4) Makes Marriage fully under religious control, something that is already widespread in Luthor de facto, and we are simply affirming this de jure.

5) No discussion required

6) Bans prostitution; no discussion required

7) Gays are misguided persons, and we must not encourage their heinous crimes against nature.

8) Our women may defend Luthori, but they shouldn't have to do a man's job and carry arms into battle. Or would the CWP/CPL rather place our women in harm's way?

9) We are PROTECTING women from performing DANGEROUS tasks, or would the CWP/CPL rather place our women in harm's way?


Yeah, so here the HLC is just getting right to the point, they breakdown their bill, and they often use the term "No discussion required", making the case that there really is nothing to be argued about the bill itself, and instead the arguments are based on the proposer: the HLC

Mr. Speaker,

out of 9 proposals in our bill:

- 4 prevent crimes and immoral actions from taking place.

- 3 enshrine the Church's role in Marriages, an essential cornerstone of Luthorian Culture.

- 2 Protect women from harm and instead push Men into dangerous jobs and battle

We ask the CWL and CPL, what of these proposals do you oppose?

What of these proposals "treat[s] [women] as less valuable forms of life"? @CWL

What of these proposals is "sexist, extremist and fascist"? @CPL


Okay, now we see the HLC backtrack their assault a bit, and this is key. NOW they began with "Mr.Speaker", but then resume full-on, asking rhetorically, what the CPL and CWL oppose. The HLC also mocks the CPL and CWL claims of the bill being misogynist.

If anything, this bill should be opposed by Men, who are "unfairly", according to CPL/CWL logic, forced to carry arms alone to defend the Empire, and forced to perform Dangerous tasks while Women enjoy the comforts of home, or at worst an office job.

Once, again the CPL and its leftist goons prove that they are nothing but dogs who bark but have no teeth which with to bite.

Once we have elections, and once the Holy Bloc becomes the decisive factor in forming a government, we will see then if HLC is "sexist, extremist and fascist".


The HLC conducted its offensive against the CPL/CWP. The HLC has taken apart the CPL/CWP claims and now asks rhetorically what the CPL and CWP oppose in the first place. In the conclusion of the offensive, as if in a final blow, the HLC makes a foreshadow to elections as if promising to humiliate any bloc that seeks to woe the Holy Bloc over for a majority coalition.

As for the LCP, it is their voting NO, that is the real shock.

How could this party, the LARGEST Right-Wing party in Luthori, vote NO to these proposals. We understand the Left's attempted War on Religion, but why the LCP?

The answer to my question about the LCP, my friends and colleagues, is that the LCP is NOT right-wing, and they never have been, and I doubt they ever will be.


HLC takes a swing on the LCP for voting against the bill, calling them not right-wing, and using ad hominem to great efficiency.

Many people asked us, why did the HLC return to politics? Hadn't we had our fair shot(s) at ruling Luthori in our 60 years? The LCP demonstrates my answer: The HLC retuned to unveil the truth to all of Luthori.

What Right-Wing opposes the Lord? None

What Right-Wing opposes protecting women? none

What Right-Wing support Gays, and their spreading of crimes throughout the land? none

What Right-Wing seeks to leave Adulters and Prostitutes freely? none


Fellow Luthorians, this is the serpent in the room, a secular anti-Religion party cloaked in the veils of "Conservativism" and "the Right-Wing". What my friends, is a Conservative Right Wing party that would vote against this bill?


now the HLC goes further, asking why any Right-WIng party would vote against these proposals. It destroys any possibility of the LCP attempting to sell itself as a rightwing party in the future unless it supports this bill. the HLC ties being right-wing to voting YES

The HLC returned to defend this Empire. For the 60 years the HLC existed, the Empire remained an untouchable reality of the Luthorian government. Not ONCE was it ever even PROPOSED to abolish the Holy Empire. In the 60 years, the HLC was absent from the political field, the Holy Empire faced not one but TWO dissolutions. If anything this proves the non-religious right-wing, whatever that means, has become at best a walkover opponent to the Left, or at worst a bedfellow in their crimes.

Is it not the duty of the Right-Wing to defend this Empire? It is absolutely, and we must first start by cleaning our own ranks first. No more "secularism", no more "separation of church and state", no more of the political ranting to garner votes from workers, only for them to throw them in the trash in exchange for a business endorsement, and funding.


Now the HLC pulls back to its role in founding the First Empire, and its record of maintaining that Empire above all else during its tenure. HLC then goes on the offensive reminding the Diet that it had dissolved the Empire TWICE since the HLC left. Thus, the HLC makes a clear connection: a vote for the HLC is a vote for the Empire.

I conclude my statement, by quoting a phrase from Ahmadi scripture, an Ahmadi priest from Badara told me on my visit their (this may come as a shock to the CPL who view us as "sexist, extremist and fascist" and who seek to "only lead to division and persecution"):

"فَسَتَذْكُرُونَ مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ ۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ"

Translation: "You will remember what I tell you and I delegate my command to God"

You will remember what I tell you and I delegate my command to God

You will remember what I tell you and I delegate my command to God

Thank you, and good night.


The conclusion of the HLC summaries it up well: We have the experience, we preserved the Empire you failed to, so now we need to take charge again. The HLC also takes that fatherly appeal, as if it is a parent scolding squabbling children, warning them that the future will hold true what they say now. The HLC has without a doubt scored a big victory tonight. Will that translate to votes? Absolutely.

Dwayne Loops announce his candidacy for the 4739 Imperatorial Election
Image
The president of the CPL Dwayne Loops gave a stirring today, 4 months before the election.
It is a fact that the CPl has failed these last decades. We once were one of the most popular parties in this country and today, we receive less and less votes. The real question is: why are the people turning to other parties.
The answer is simple and I was elected leader of the party for this reason: we have to get back to our roots. We have been too lenient on our values these last years. While the capitalist,the rich, the liberal elites were laughing at the common people, were raising taxes, were cutting our social security budget, were firing workers who dared to strike,... the CPL was caring about LGBTQ+ Rights, caring about migrant workers, caring about not being too radical, caring about making alliances with fake left-wing parties,... That's our fault! We weren't proposing anything to liberate the workers from their chains. Let's take a look at the current news. The far-right is firing workers who defend their rights against the law making public transport only available for the rich. We have to be on the ground, we have to take concrete action, we have to elect a president who defends all of those who have been forgotten in the last years by this ultra-liberal, fascist government. This is why I AM OFFICIALLY RUNNING FOR IMPERATOR OF THE HOLY LUTHORIAN EMPIRE. (cheers and applause)
The fascist will have to flee and never come back to our beautiful red country, the people will be happier than ever before and the fake-left will adopt our communist doctrine or simply disappear. THERE IS NO TIME TO LOSE. We need to take action now. People are starting to disapprove massively of this cabinet. People are starting to get angry. The ANGER IS MOUNTING! THE ANGER IS MOUNTING! We have to work until 67 years old, all our public services are privatised, public transport is privatised , stock exchanges are unregulated, billionaires are seeing their fortune, increasing tremendously, parents don't have the money to send their children to university, bankers are stealing the middle class, the corrupt government is stealing the people.
With me, all of this will be over. We are going to take back our country, take back our industries and the fascists, who are oppressing and misleading the workers, will have to leave the country!
All banks will be nationalised, all schools will be publicly owned, energy generation and distribution will have to respect the environment and be free, except for the rich.
Religion won't be imposed on our people anymore. Freedom of religion is a right, obligation is fascism.

Concerning our Imperator, Mr. Martin, he's a better guy than Mrs. Jackson or Mr. Weston, but he's not part of the real left!
Where was Mr. Martin when he had to represent the vast majority of the people and condemn the increase of retirement age to 67? (applauses)
Where was Mr. Martin when the bus drivers and train drivers were striking to defend their rights?
Where was Mr. Martin when the government was establishing a theocracy step by step, imposing their religion on us?
Where was Mr. Martin when the government was destroying the environment?

For those old, corrupted politicians, for those dukes and fake popes, VACATIONS ARE OVER! The real leader Luthori needs is here!

First session of the Luthorian Youth Diet
Image
Young parliamentarians debating the current situation of youth centers

For the first time ever, youth parliamentarians who were elected in their youth centers gathered in the chamber of the Imperial Diet to debate the political situation and the situation of luthorian youth. The Speaker of the Imperial Diet, Mr. Santiago, had the privilege to chair the youth parliament for the fisrt time. The Leader of the Opposition, Ms. Aida Bat-Elle, was also invited to debate.

Even if there was a bit of confusion at the beginning because the young parliamentarians didn't know who should sit where and which rules are the same or different from the normal parliamentary rules, thanks to the speaker, who brought everything in order and explained everything, the session could continue without any problems or confusions.
Before the session officially began, the Leader of the Opposition addressed the youth parliament. She said:
Thank you very much, I would like thank all Right Honourable Members for being here today and for participating in the political debate. It is important that young people are interested in politics because politics decides how we live and what we do. And it is important to give young people more political power. I also would like to thank the Speaker that he is here today and I thank you that I can be here today as well. I wish you a pleasant session.

She also made the following statement on the political situation:
It is clear to me that we have different political views and will not always agree with me but hopefully we all know how important democracy is. We now see political parties and ideologies opposing democracy and try to destroy work cooperation, respect and peace. It is important that we and you fight for our rights and democracy, whether in parliament or on the streets. Don't put up with anything and don't give up fighting for democracy.


The first part of the session lasted almost two hours and the young parliamentarians talked about political extremism and the danger of current anti-democratic parties.

The second part was only a few minutes shorter and the youg parliamentarians talked about the luthorian youth.

The last part was significantly shorter but itprobably contained the most effective debate. There was talk about youth centers and their funding. The majority of the young parliamentarians have complained that their youth centers are copmletly closed or that there is lack of staff and materials because of the small budget they get from the local governments. The parliamentarians quickly agreed that the this and the next government should specifically focus on youth centers and more invest. The parliamentarians had asked the leader of the opposition to put more pressure on the government or even deal with the opposition withou the cooperation with the government if neccesery. Ms Bat-Elle was happy to accept the request. She said:
I do know how it is when youmg peolpe are looking for help or for a place to be but there is no such place, P when I was younger I faced the same problem. It's a shame that there is so much money for big buissensses and banks but not for the youth. I will do my best to change the current cruel situation.


After the session, many young parliamentarians spoke individually with Mr Santiago and Ms Bat-Elle. The youth PMs were very happy to be able to discuss very important issues.
