John Wilbur resigns from politics, HFU transforms into HIU
Following the fall of the anti-republican movement with the centrist Liberal Republican Party accepting the presence of the Emperor, John Wilbur has chosen to resign from politics. The moderate Wilburist sector of the party that had replaced the extreme Chesterist wing had begun to slowly unravel with its members beginning to question whether Fascism could truly survive for much longer before the Northern Council would be forced to declare war, with tensions building between the Emperor and Wilbur regarding foreign policy. The Handsonites, the HFU's imperial wing, had thus surged in the party, with Wilbur deciding to hand the leadership to the young Duke William. Duke William Handson's grandfather was a member of the HPP, with William's father being a member of Hitch's HFU, and with William himself now being the leader of the new Hosian Imperial Union, a statist party that combines some of the fascist and populist ideology of their predecessor parties.

Duke William gave a speech in Fort William outside his mansion to a crowd of nearly 3 million HFU supporters, who had come at the invitation of Wilbur. The following is an except of the speech:


"In our new era we have had fascism - and it has served its purpose. We now need a return to normalcy, a return to a great Empire, a return to peace, love, and pride in our nation. We stand firmly against the socialists, those who question the fabric of our great nation, and those who question our Empire. TODAY IS A DAY OF NATIONAL REBIRTH!"


The crowd cheers, with both royalists and fascists with tears in their eyes

While usually the LRPs party congress is held only every 4 years, this is a specially called congress by the Party Chairman John Clinton. with one goal, settling the matter of the monarchy and republicanism once and for all in the party. After a long and hard fought process, after the 7th vote a consensus was finally reach in order to reform the party and still preserve party unity.

The Liberal Republican Party has decided that i shall no longer be a party of pro republicanism. Yet i shall neither be pro monarchy. It shall be neutral in that matter, Its only goal when it comes to a form of government is that it shall be that it will not matter what kind of government it is as long as its a full fledged democracy with democratic values. Of the People For the People By the People. Period.

Party Chairman John Clinton with the momentum of the parties constitution change he championed for, used the moment to also push for a name change, that he said
Would lead our party and our liberalism through the future.


After a row of suggestions a name (Clintons pick) was finally voted through and passed by the party congress with 69% which is over the necessary 2/3 majority required.

The Liberal Republican Party is hereby re named to the Liberal Democratic Party or LDP for short.

William Morris resigns. 2 way leadership battle set to determine future of TUSC

William Morris has announced his resignation as Leader following the Election results. The TUSC falling to 76 seats led to Morris sounding out support from his Diet Colleagues. Deputy Leader and Shadow Finance Secretary Lily Harris made it clear that she would stand against him if he didn't resign. This left Morris in an untenable position. 3 candidates sought nomination for Leader, Lily Harris, Renee McQueen and Tara McNeil. McNeil, however, later pulled out of the race in order to support McQueen, acknowledging that Liberal Social values were never going to happen under Lily Harris, so it would be best to support McQueen. Renee McQueen won the nomination stage comfortably, with 47 nominations to 25. However, the elderly former Leader of the Party, Ben Sullivan, who remains in the diet despite his age of 101, and Aaron West, 89, another former Leader and Chancellor, cast their nominations for Harris. Carter Owen, who was narrowly defeated for the Leadership by Morris, has also backed Harris. The Leadership election Could be a fight to the very end, and could also be a defining moment in the history of the TUSC. Will the TUSC be a Party of working class Trade Unionism and Socialism, or become a Liberal Socialist Party focused on the issues of women, minorites and gay people. The result will make this clear

Luthori Central Broadcasting:

Duke William Handson condemns FAUST, champions Artarian Union integration with all regional powers, sets course for a "status quo" foreign policy and economic growth.

Foreign Minister Duke John Handson sent the following address recently to the FAUST Party of Narikaton on international airwaves:
"The Hosian people will not stand for a anti-luthori party to be in power. We condemn your organizations disgusting views, and we demand a change of such discriminatory policy effectively!"
]

Sir Handson also gave an address to the public and international community about the upcoming much needed revival of the Artarian Union.
Duke Williams plans to allow all nations of Terra to join the organization as full fledged members or as trading nation affiliates as well as a foreign aid fund all nations would pay into for developing regions in the union.
"The AU of tommorow will be a sight for the world. A revolution of our times that will set precedent on the questions of sovereignty of our people to participate in an ever growing economy. The AU will combat regional poverty and create a prosperous future for our people."


Defense Minister Duke William Handson, the Hosian Imperial Union's Chairman, plans on rolling back socialist reforms and re-establishing control of the state, while in collaboration with the Liberal Democratic Party and LA for the general stability of the state.

Duke Handson, the Defense Minister, sends new entirely ready special forces unit to be used in Northern Council Operations.
"The Holy Luthori Empire shall remain committed to working with the Northern Council for the defense of Terra. Our 5,000 man elite force is ready for international operations and shall deploy shortly."

Ageing TUSC giants make final Diet speeches
Ben Sullivan and Aaron West, both former Chancellor's and the two longest serving members in the history of the Imperial Diet, made their final speeches in the chamber before the Diet was dissolved for the election. By agreement of the speaker West would make the penultimate speech of the closing session and Sullivan the final speech. West reflected on his most famous achievement in politics, as the Secretary of State for Finance, when he passed the famous West Budget of 4415, which still forms the basis of income tax policy in Luthori;

“We showed in that term, with my friend here as Deputy Chancellor, under the leadership of Alice Teodorescu of the SDP, that not only can the Left be trusted with Government, but that we can keep our promises in Government. We can execute what we promised effectively whilst in Government and most importantly we can make change for the better in Government. The budget we passed in that Diet term still forms the basis of tax policy in Luthori to this day, and showed that a Government with the political will to run decent public services can do so, by asking those that have much, to do something for those that have little"

Sullivan, who is now 106 years old and suffering from stomach cancer which he has said will most likely kill him in the next year, made an emotional speech about the 82 years he has been in Politics;

“This place has taught me so much about the power of this system we love, Democracy. Many say that it is not a perfect system but it is better than the alternatives. I disagree with that. The imperfections that Democracy has are what makes it so perfect. The ideal of Governing yourselves and fighting for change you believe is one that is the very essence of what makes us a great nation. My love of democracy is why I will enjoy the upcoming election so much. Our fantastic Party Leader, The Leader of the Opposition, is offering a positive future for the people of this country. She may well be able one day to achieve what myself and my honourable friend have been fighting for for nearly 80 years and never been able to achieve, I hope that one day this Diet stands up against the arms manufacturers and diverts that money from corporations thieving off the taxpayer, and gives it to our schools and hospitals, that is the dream and vision we have. Finally Mr Speaker, can I express my hope for this election not in terms of Party performance but people performance. The most important thing in a democracy is that people turn out and vote, many people in this great country have fought and given their lives in return for democracy and self-government, and if the vast majority of people turn out next month, then that vision and sacrifice will not have been in vein."

Lily Harris hails election campaign

“thank you to everyone here for their support. It's obvious that we won't win Government tonight, but we will have made substantial gains in a difficult climate. I strongly believe that we are within touching distance of regaining the mantle of power and using it for the good of the working class. We as a Party are back representing the people we should be, those that Ben Sullivan said “have nothing to sell but their time, and own nothing substantial but their pride". We haveade history tonight. This is the highest number of seats we have won since the 4420s. Complacency is not an option, however, we must strive towards the future"

HIU members around the Empire go on a general strike against incoming TUSC led government, violence hits the streets.

Duke William Handson has called for a general strike against the TUSC led government, with the HIU having a history of refusing to recognize the TUSC as anything but enemies of the state and people. Millions of HIU members around the country have left their places of work, with HIU business owners closing shop all together in an act of defiance. In Fort William, HIU members have resorted to tossing stones and picketing outside the TUSC Headquarters, with chants for Lilly Harris to step down. All churches in Luthori that are affiliated with the HIU have begun turning away TUSC members in poverty. Paramilitary groups have arisen around the country and in Fort William, shooting TUSC members in the TUSC voting districts with small arms. Duke William Handson has supported the general strike, but has distanced himself from the violent groups. Chants around the country such as "Lilly Harris should be killed" and "Lilly Harris is a drug addict commie" can be heard around the country, propaganda from the HIU calling for "Public Revolution" can be seen allover Fort William as well as in every major city.

Duke William Handson appeared in Fort William today, and gave the following speech.

"Socialists are animals. They have an obsession with material possession, they hate family, they hate country, they want our government to fall from degenerate social polices and free handouts from the government. Stand your ground! Do not let these dirty international heathens have more than this term in office. They have surged by killing off the ALA members in private, Lilly Harris is a traitor to our nation and we refuse to let her destroy our nation."

Duke Wiilliam Handson goes with 15,000 HIU affiliated paramilitaries abroad in solidarity with Narikaton government

Today, William Handson and a small army of paramilitary soldiers landed in the capital of Narikaton to stand in solidarity with the Chancellor. Rumors have it that a backdoor deal was made between the HIU Foreign Minister and the Grey Thaller delegation about arresting the anti-Luthori FAUST party in exchange for international support at a later date. The troops took private planes and are now in barracks at the nation's capital, awaiting orders. Duke William will have Sir John Handson sit as acting HIU Chairman while he is gone overseas.

Duke William Handson gave the following speech at his private airport to his troops.

"We must stand in solidarity with the grey Thaller regime abroad. The nation needs stability and we can not allow the opposition to violently overthrow the government. The HIU pledges it supports and plans on fighting without giving an inch of ground"

TUSC achieve landslide victory and will form majority Government

The TUSC, lead by Lily Harris, have achieved an astonishing victory in the General Election. The Party won a majority of seats in the Imperial Diet and will now form a majority Government. Harris addressed crowds of supporters at a huge campaign rally on election night;

“there are times in a nation's history where it decides to make a change, where the people of a country stand up and say no more to Poverty, Fear and Gross Inequalities. There are times also, when the people reject fear mongering, reject division, and choose a Vision of a better society. I am proud of everything we have done and everything we have achieved tonight. It is a testament to the astonishing work of our activists, our Diet Members and the front bench team.

The Luthori people have voted to reject lies, smears and personal attacks. They have instead voted for a new kind of Politics, where the politicians serve the people and not the other way around. The HIU have had their punishment from the electorate for their disgraceful actions, and nothing in many years has ever made me so pleased.

Tonights results are a message for the whole of our society to show that we don't have to be unequal, it doesn't have to be unfair, poverty isn't inevitable. Things can, and they will, change. Thank you very much.
