Philos Roars into Office; Immediately Dismisses His Own GovernmentNew Prezidenti Derrick Philos, who immediately dismissed his own government following his landslide victory.October 3884, Astoria K’alak’i, Hobrazia
That Mr. Philos and his party, the Hobrazi Union (misspelled "Hobratzi Union" on the election ballots) were going to sweep into the government was a foregone conclusion during the emergency elections a few months ago. However, immediately upon taking control and seating all of his own members, a new scandal came forward that the party was the arm of a Malivian political party and that the election may have been a sham. While, realistically, Mr. Philos and his party would have probably weathered this storm with no issues (due to a lack of any form of political opposition), he instead opted to dismiss his own government and call for new elections immediately.
"It would be a crying shame to the Hobrazi...am I saying that right?..."Hobrazi"...not "Hobratzi?...if they elected someone who they weren't completely sure stood for their values," said Mr. Philos in a press conference held outside of the Presidential Estate in the capital, Astoria K’alak’i.
Many political commentators normally would have ignored such trivial moves by the government. However, the lack of ANY government over the past 4 years has made anything that even slightly smells like a political scandal worth commenting on.
"Personally, I think those Hobratzi's ought to leave the country and go back to Malivia where they came from," said Argus Fanipolos, an ultra-conservative commentator for
Hobrazia is Dying. "He probably doesn't even really speak Hobrazi. Probably just speaks Dundorf all the time at home."
Many ordinary people on the street have hardly noticed a thing.
"We had a government?" asked one person this reporter interviewed on the streets of Astoria K’alak’i. "I'm sorry, I don't vote. The government doesn't actually do anything, do they?"
Indeed, with no popular outcry in support or against Mr. Philos and his now-Hobrazi Union, it was left to the leader of the party himself to perhaps give the most candid reason for why Hobrazia is facing new elections.
"I just like to win," said Mr. Philos. "We have an opportunity to not only win once but
twice within the same calendar year? Gosh, that's got to be like a record or something."
