It should go without saying that the Union of Free Reformists opposes, in the strongest terms, the attempt of unrepentant, legislatively-recognized sex pest Breneir Tzaracompradă to be re-elected to the Senäts.

However, we are also unable to endorse the incumbent, noted serial party-hopper and flip-flopper Mximo Carbonel. While we are sure the PA leadership will vouch for him, his record is not one that anyone should trust, including his current party.

The URL therefore encourages all citizens of Florenciă to a Write-In campaign for Literally Any Other Florencian. Yes, this includes the Duke of Lupul, the Baron Hooligan, and the entire Ventrútx clan. Thank you.

Riddle me this, Batman:

- if the PA admits that they have no evidence that I'm not throwing immigration apps in the trash, and that they don't even think I'm doing it;
- and that I'm going to be immigration minister at least until December 1;

then: why was reforming this law last month such an urgent priority that people would flip parties over it?

Azul,

I will run again for Florencia senatorship.
Please register me.

Dear citizens of Florencia,
My fellow Talossans,

It is with a deep sense of honor and humility that I address you today as a candidate for the Senate of our beloved province of Florencia. To stand before you once again, after having had the privilege of serving in the early 2000s and again now for nearly two more years is a true joy for me.

Serving Talossa is not about belonging to an imaginary country; it is about upholding a living idea. Talossa is a community bound together by curiosity, creativity, and friendship. It is a place where words, laws, and laughter weave a thread between our minds and our hearts. And it is precisely this idea that I wish to continue defending: that of a proud, peaceful, and prosperous Kingdom of Talossa.

A Kingdom that is now regaining a sense of constitutional peace under the leadership of a new King who brings us closer together and works tirelessly to preserve the unity of our nation.

My past experience has taught me that a senator is not merely a legislator; he is also a guardian, a guardian of the dignity of our institutions, of respect among our fellow citizens, and of dialogue between generations. As one of the elder citizens of our realm, I also bear a duty to protect our country and its ideals. I am, and remain, a steadfast supporter of freedom of expression.

Today, I wish to continue in this role: to share my experience of our country with new immigrants, in a spirit of openness, collaboration, and mutual respect.

I will work to strengthen the stability of our Kingdom, to encourage participation from all our citizens — both long-standing and newly arrived — and to support the projects that make our nation shine beyond our digital borders.

I believe in a Talossa where the spirit of camaraderie triumphs over division, where debate serves to build rather than to destroy, and where national pride goes hand in hand with kindness.

Florencia has always been a province of heart, of culture, and of balance. It is this model that I wish to represent in the Senate a model of wisdom, attentiveness, and unity.

My dear friends, if you once again grant me your trust, I promise to be a voice both firm and fair, faithful to our motto, true to our history, and resolutely turned toward the future.

Long live the nacho-shaped province! Long live Florencia! Long live Talossa!

Okay, we're making more videos at the suggestion of @Françal I. Lux .  If there's something you'd like to see a video about, please let me know here!  I'll be talking about our platform, but I can also discuss Talossan history or culture or the language.

For right now, we'll soon have short videos about innovations we can try to help people try new clubs, a discussion about the immigration rate, and how people could get started learning talossan at talossan.net.

Quote from: Françal I. Lux on Yesterday at 08:19:27 PM@Françal I. Lux , you were around at least one of the times he did this before - during the Proclamation Crisis. Do you remember how he almost got the Secretary of State - now the King - to renounce his citizenship? Do you remember how I had to take six months off Talossa because his smear campaign/moral panic had meant I had to take sleeping pills to function?

And yes, I'm sorry to say, I do have personal animosity towards the Baron. I'm not ashamed of it. Thankfully, you can work constructively with someone despite personal animosity.

What seems clear from the exchanges between Alexandreu and Miestra is that she needs a break but does not know how to take one. And that she is doing Michalgh and the URL no favors with her prominence in this campaign.

The Greens support less of this type of campaigning and more time to actually govern. Miestra, please get your well-deserved rest.

Shared!  I am very eager for this.  I think it will be a lot of fun.

At absolute best, the Most Honourable Seneschal is confused about events.  Thankfully, the thread is right here.

Original Context
I wrote and posted my simple bill on August 12th.  At that time, there had been zero immigration for four months.  Literally, zero.  We hadn't yet lucked out with the Tiktok video or magazine article of last month.

The Process
MC Somelieir objected to one of the introductory clauses, since I said the bill was to resolve a legal ambiguity.  She said that I wasn't allowed to say that.  We argued about it briefly, but I decided that it wasn't important and just deleted the entire clause to which she objected.

Then the Most Honourable Seneschal posted what she calls a "snide comment," saying "I do think that E.5 probably is a bit wider in scope than appropriate. And the Government would be willing to discuss softening it - if we weren't having these discussions with an individual whose whole political 'shtick' right now is angry condemnation that the Government isn't jumping and hollering and doing political theatre around immigration."

Then when I Clarked it, she has already confessed to lobbying her party to vote against it.  And so it failed to pass.

The Motivation
Please notice that I am directly recounting and often quoting from the public record about this, whereas the Most Honourable Seneschal feels free to be a little more creative.

That's also why she says, over and over again, that she's afraid she's going to be prosecuted.  At this point, this has to be called what it is... a falsehood.  She's lying.  She knows that I have repeatedly told her that's outright impossible.  But it's a more sympathetic story than killing a necessary bill just because you don't like the sponsor.

The Most Honourable Seneschal feels caught out on a deeply unpopular decision, knows that there will be a reckoning with the voters, and she's looking for an excuse to explain it.  But there's no excuse that holds water, folks.  There's no good explanation for the Government demanding the power to secretly control immigration.  There's no good explanation for lying about it.
