Azul John,
You couldn't just leave or resign. I've been back in the kingdom for over 10 years now. In those 10 years, I have no good memories of you. Just endless vetoes, even more absences, and no real participation other than showcasing your dominance as king. Not even giving a speech for our independence day, a tradition of ours.
Now what do I see behind closed doors? You're exerting pressure to appoint your successor. Of course, you tell us your advisors approve of this. We understand, some advisors dream of becoming the caliph instead of the caliph, just like good old Iznogood. It's disheartening to see even my republican friends in the Cosa scheming in the shadows to push through a succession law after blocking parliament and shutting us out of participating in this important debate. Here comes our dear former prime minister, tinkering with a fine succession law for us, and of course, giving the king the power to choose his successor. Why not hold an election to find a new king or queen? Why not consulted? Do we really need a king? Isn't it time for a debate? And you, Mr. Absent King, couldn't you just abdicate and finally give us some fresh air?
I demand a democratic debate on the future of the monarchy. Besides, don't we have an election starting? We've been living without a king for years, and we're doing just fine. Couldn't we have waited to have the debate during the election? Was there really an urgency?
Therefore, I will vote against this law, even if the king, of course, might not abdicate if things don't go his way again.
