Rutania Elitist Party re-established: "we want full inquiry into the loss of our colony"August 4403, Bozarburg, Commonwealth of Rutania- After more than a century of political exile, the offsprings of the old political dynasties of the party have returned to Rutania and decided to re-establish the Rutanian Elitist Party, the leading force in Rutanian politics between the 28th and 33rd centuries. The party of the Klausenburgs, Bozarburgs, Bruckenthals and Vandermarks has elected
Sylvia Hinter-Vandermark (a descendant of the Vandermark-dyanasty which played an important role not only in the REP, but in the once great Orange party, and also gave the monarchs of the shortly-lived Kingdom of Rutania and East Dovani) at the helm of the re-founded party.
Ms. Hinter-Vandermark declared that she is planning to give back the old glory of the Party, and has many plans for the Commonwealth as well. The newly elected leader is looking forward to the elections of September 4407, which she believes to be a landmark in Rutanian history. Until the elections the REP is rolling out many proposals that would define the political edge of the party.
One of the first actions of the REP was to introduce legislation re-establishing the position of Rutanian nobility. "We know that the modern times are believed to be hostile to the nobility, but we will defy the expectations", declared Ms. Hinter-Vandermark. According to her the descendants of the Rutanian nobility do not want new titles, do not want lands or money, their only wish is to be able to use the titles of their forefathers, and to be able to share with the people of Rutania all the knowledge, expertise and moral standing they have accumulated throughout the centuries.
The REP is also introducing legislation for a more decentralized Rutanian economy, and is proposing to amend the Constitution. "The President has a direct popular manadate which in our view supercedes the shady negotiations in parliament. Hence we propose that the President be appointing a cabinet after consulting all the parties in with seats in the Parliament. The cabinet will need the majority support of the MPs, but the Presidential assent as well. We believe, this will facilitate a more consensual, more democratic decision-making process" - declared
Arsenius Meckler, Vice-President of REP.
The party also want to set up a select committee on the colonial past of Rutania. "We want to uncover how the irresponsible politicians played away Rutanian holdings in the Carina Neck, formerly known as Rutanian East Dovani" - shared his anger the Shadow Foreign Secretary of REP,
Oliver Vandermark VI.
