Despite this tragic event occurring, I do have to say that I don’t feel any grief for them because they made the idiotic decision to go out to a Saridanese island and enter Saridanese waters in this era. They made a stupid decision against my advice and they deserve whatever has happened to them.
It is absurd to suggest Saridan's system of organisation of society would continue unless the vast majority of Iftgoerroon were essentially happy to go along with it. The thing you need to bear in mind is that the overwhelming majority of ordinary, decent Iftgoerroon recognise that the Saridanis are more civilised than they are, that the Saridanis are their teachers and that they have so much to learn and gain from them. The really beautiful thing about Saridan is that there they are allowing the Iftgoerroon to develop and cultivate themselves at their own pace, in dignity and security. It is a myth that the Saridanis are holding the Iftgoerroon back. Anyone who has been in Saridan for a reasonable period of time knows that if you gave the Iftgoerroon equal rights, civilisation would collapse in that country - not just for the Saridanis, but for the Iftgoerroon themselves.
I and my party entered the last election with the aim of winning a parliamentary majority in order to form a National Movement government. Our vote share did significantly increase and we did win more seats, and for this I am grateful to our voters. However, we did not win nearly enough seats to be able to form a National Movement government - and for this, of course, I take full responsibility.
The Progress Party performed spectacularly well in the last election, winning over 28 million votes and over 43% of the vote. Technically they are just short of a majority, but nevertheless, it is overwhelmingly clear that the national mood and the momentum is with the Progress Party. It is also clear that the Mordusian people have voted for peace with Saridan.
I myself have a lot of respect for the Progress Party, and although I have my differences with them, share many of their values. My National Movement colleagues overwhelmingly share the same outlook as me on this.
In our view, it would be in the national interest for the Progress Party to form a minority government, The National Movement will support this administration on a confidence-and-supply basis. We will support them in their bid to make peace with Saridan, and on general legislative matters, we will support them where we think they are right, but constructively oppose where we think they are wrong.
