Liberal Reformists put up former finance minister as Candidate for Governor-General!

In a surprise move, The Liberal Reformist Party has chosen to field its own candidate, spurning overtures to join an anti-Progress Part unity ticket. The candidate is confirmed to be former Liberal Union finance minister Sylvaine Linville, And is a surprisingly qualified candidate for a newborn party.

When approached for a comment, leader of the LRP Ally Fitzhugh, was confident of her party’s chances. “Sylvaine is a extremely qualified candidate, and a Liberal who’s proven time and time again that she can fight in the trenches. We look forward to the next election, and the opportunity to unseat the Progress Party in what could be an upset for ye ages.

It will be an uphill challenge for the party, but former Liberal Union politicians returning to the fight is a promising sign for the fledgling party. Could we be seeing a party of government in the making? Or will they suffer the same fate of the LU? Only time will tell.

HOLLY GILMORE WINS LEADERSHIP ELECTION BY JUST 77 VOTES

Results
- Holly Gilmore - 50.01% (273,479 votes)
- Camille Duquesne - 49.99% (273,402 votes)

Holly Gilmore secured an extremely narrow victory of just 77 votes against her challenger, Camille Duquesne at a heated special conference. Many of Duquesne's supporters have called for a recount, and some have even accused Gilmore of electoral fraud, but Duquesne accepted defeat, saying, “I lost and I accept that. I'm not going to act like a brat and storm off to demand a recount”

Only 2 resolutions were passed, including one that called for a united front against the Progress Party led coalition and another calling for a general strike against the ruling government

Governor-General Linville shocks the nation, announces Coalition for Change

in a victory for the ages, the Liberal Reformist Party has swept the Governor-General’s seat, and finished a solid second in parliament. Governor-General-Elect Sylvaine Linville has succeeded to the head of the LRP at the behest of Ally Fitzhugh, who will now head the parliamentary party. Linville wasted no time at the head of the party, and announced a radical rebranding: The Coalition for Change. She went on to say, “the LRP has won, and will govern the country to the best of their ability. But we cannot do it alone. Therefore our party will become a coalition, a coalition for change. A catch all party for united, proud Mordusia.” It is uncertain as of yet how the new party will define itself, or if it will split into ideologies camps, like the HSU. Can this radical idea work? Or will it collapse like the Liberal Union before it?

Scandal: Westwheel-Cohen Bank Caught Illegally Funding Cohenist Groups in Alduria

By Jon Jones

Undercover reporter Johnathan Jones posed as a Merzist-Cohenist leader in the nation of Alduria, directly to the south of Mordusia. Cohenism, an ideology believing in socially conservative or even theocratic values while also supporting a proletarian vanguard party, was thought to be really exclusive to Mordusia. They are the largest party in the country and the only party of its kind in the world.

During his time there, he had several individuals approached him from the Westwheel and Cohen families about the possibility of funding the rise of this country, their neighbor, hoping for a ‘Cohenist bloc’ where traditional values rule in a workers nation. Unfortunately for the Westwheels, funding foreign political parties or conspiracy to do so is banned under Mordusian law.

The repercussions of this action are yet to be seen, but it is now clear that the ideals of Cohenism are set to be exported outside of Mordusia.

Exclusive: Republican Paramilitary Active In Talasor
April 4394

On waste ground behind a disused smelting facility, the revolution is beginning. Here, in a community beyond youth groups and government outreach programmes, boys as young as fifteen participate in military style drills and target practice. All, they say, for one cause. Freedom.

Image

This is the Republican Volunteer Force in action, a paramilitary group said to be over 4000 members strong. An army of young men committed to the overthrow of the monarchy and for the defence of Mordusian culture. They say their activities are peaceful, that they are committed to supporting democratic reform. Their drills however, convey a different message.

The local unit leader, speaking under condition of anonymity, explained the group's activity.
Our country was stolen from us and we want it back. We don’t want some foreign King in Hutori or Luthori or anywhere telling us what to do. There’s no jobs, no nothing round here, and maybe that’s for a lot of reasons, but we always had our history, our flag and our country, then traitors sold us out. People are angry and they need to know that. We’re gonna take back what’s ours.

People from all walks of life have joined the group,
There are teachers, doctors, bus drivers, factory workers, security guards. We are everyone. And that should make the elite in Rechtenburg afraid.”


The Republican Volunteer Force has associated itself with the Alternative Future political movement.

Alternative Future Leader, Oliver Yorke

Responding to our findings Alternative Future's Oliver Yorke said,

You have to understand the pain and anger out there in the country about what the political elite has done. Concertedly running down our country and then vassalising us to a foreign power. The flag isn’t a joke to Mordusians, it means something. As for this report, well, paramilitaries are perfectly legal and nobody has done anything wrong. A local official may have been slightly overzealous, that’s all. We are committed to peaceful democratic reform and will be fielding a full slate of candidates at the next election.

DUQUESNE MAKES APPEAL TO IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES

Immigrant rights march in Port Alexander

Camille Duquesne has made an appeal to immigrant communities which voted overwhelmingly for the liberal Coalition for Change last election with pledges to make it easier for people to obtain citizenship and extending the right to vote to legal residents, regardless of citizenship.
“The Socialist Party is committed to standing up for immigrant communities” said Duquesne, the daughter of Aldurian immigrants herself, “we have a strong track record of protecting minority rights, from defending official bilingualism from attacks by the far-right to local socialist-run governments helping migrants obtain citizenship, we have a strong record on this matter”
The Young Socialists, the Socialist Party youth wing, released a statement praising “Camille's commitment to immigrant rights” but also added that “we, as socialists, need to tackle institutional racism in our justice system” and that “immigrant rights are human rights and we are glad that our mother party is coming around to our way of thinking”.
A new youth-led immigrant rights movement has arisen in Mordusia, after the controversial deportation of 1,786 illegal immigrants in Port Alexander, mostly from Saridan, Indrala, and Alduria.

Republican Volunteer Force Attack Stock Exchange
24th February 4396

A RVF bomb has blown a 10 foot hole in an exterior wall of the Rechtenburg Stock Exchange. Nobody was injured in the blast, although police say there would have been fatalities if they had not evacuated the area prior to the explosion.

Warning of the attack was given by operatives of the RVF in 6 separate phone calls from 8am on Monday morning. Officers evacuated the Stock Exchange and neighbouring buildings, as well as cordoning off streets in the surrounding area.

Chairman of the Stock Exchange Toby Wallace-Johnson said,

If the purpose of this callous act was to disrupt the financial sector, they have failed. Disruption to trading has been minimal.

Investigators say the bomb, containing 8lbs of high explosives, had been planted in the toilets adjacent to the main trading floor.

----------

RVF Claims Responsibility Citing Reprisal For Monarchist Attacks

The Republican Volunteer Force has claimed responsibility for the Stock Exchange bombing citing Monarchist attempts to proscribe Republican political organisations as justification.
Sources claim the telephoned warnings which occurred before hand prove that civilians were not targeted.

----------

Alternative Future Leader Slams “Heinous Act” And Urges Calm From Both Sides.

Oliver Yorke, Leader of Alternative Future, branded the attack a "heinous act which can have no justification, nor any place in a free society." He urged calm and restraint from both sides.

Image

What we must prevent now is an escalation of tensions. Monarchist attempts to use state apparatus to imprison and outlaw Republican organisations is wrong, and paramilitary violence
is wrong. We must come together as a community, as a society, to oppose these forms of aggression.

Prime Minister Speedy Cohen Makes Appeal to Canrillaise Voters in Talasor
-Alexander Phillips

Today marks the beginning of Speedy Cohen’s thank you tour across the Sammadora, Talasor and Sayoon. The first stop in his tour was Richtenberg, the capital city. The ruling coalition, which carried over 75% of the state of Talasor, is looking to replicate its success in the south in order to carry a majority going into the next election.

This is also the first time that he released the manifesto for the MCP:

1. We will increase funding for schools and raise academic standards to make our students more competitive with the rest of the world.

2. We will remove the ban on Religious clothing of all types, free expression should never be infringed upon.

3. We will create a series of alliances with other nations while withdrawing from treaties that undermine our national sovereignty.

4. We will remove the foreign king abroad, withdraw from the treaty of Rechtenburg and replace him with a Mordusian family who lives in the nation. We will no longer be a vassal.

5. Restore national dignity by banning prostitution, changing our national sport and animal and passing several socially conservative reforms.

6. Increase equality and the autonomy of the working class by increasing nationalizations and running them under democratic workers councils.

Speedy Cohen Rails Against Socialist Party Elitism in Port Alexander

Today we see the debasement of our politics, yet again, by the Socialist Party of Mordusia. They don’t care about the service worker, the teacher, or the dockworkers down here in Port Alexander. They are content to trample upon your religion and your rights as they slowly whittle away at both religion and the safety net.

Today, the Socialist Party showed that it doesn’t care about 40% of Mordusians, and 60% of the people of Sammadora, as they wished for their choice in party to “leave Mordusia soon.” Such disgusting behavior shows why my uncle fought them, and why I will continue to fight them until the bitter end!

Roy Cohen Jr, 7 Members of the Westwheel Family Arrested for Colluding To Undermine Aldurian Elections. Westwheel Bank Closed by Feds

Shock and horrors are the key words today for all members of the Metzist-Cohenist party as two of their leading and prominent members, Roy Cohen Jr and Alivia Westwheel, were taken away from their Port Alexander office in handcuffs.

The plans did not stop at getting foreign allies elected, either. Secret plans, uncovered by the police, reveal that the ideal of Cohenism was actually a plot by the Westwheels. The Cohenists were going to nationalize large chunks of the economy, where the Westwheels planned to purchase large sections of the denationalized industry.

What will happen to those who signed up under Speedy is yet to be seen, but the MCP is done.

Sol Solid Wins By Default? Speedy Cohen Arrested In Connection to MCP Scam

Sol Solid Wins Rips Leadership From the Hands of Cohen Loyalists, Restores the Hosian Civil Alliance
- Caleb Baker

It’s over. The scam came tumbling down and the Cohens, a family that has been prominent in Mordusian politics for over 100 years, have either fled the country or are locked away in Port Alexander prison. The MCP membership and future looks bleak and without real leadership. This appears to be the end of an era.

However, formerly independent MP and PM from the state of Talasor Sol Solid has other plans for the rotten aperture. Solid’s plan is to rebuild the Hosian Civil Alliance, just like he had when the HSU went into crisis.

“It’s about time that Solid put us back on the map,” a long-time Solid supporter says “we turned to the HCU, then later National Movement, becomes Solomon Solid will restore national dignity. I’m hoping that this time my voice will remain heard!

After winning the leadership election, essentially by default due to the prime minister going to prison, Solid has pledged to restore Hosian and Thallerist values to Mordusia.

Strike Breaks out at Rechtenburg Copper Mines

Today, all 2000 Copper miners in the state of Talasor have walked off of the job in protest to the anti-union measures proposed by the Hosian Civil Alliance. This bill, which proposes to remove working ours restrictions and take away collective bargaining rights, is likely going to pass through parliament in the coming months.

“The Hosian Civil Alliance has betrayed us,” Armin Kellogg, president of the HFTU-affiliated Mining Workers Federation said this morning, “We need to use our right to strike to stop this bill”

Many people fear that this is only the beginning as strikebreakers have been called in while mass demonstrations are taking place outside.
