Azul Talossaes!

It's not too late to cast a vote for the Union of Free Reformists in the election! Six days remain to cast a vote; don't get left behind!

We've outlined the Democracy Agenda quite a bit. And I've recently recorded a brief speech that gives a bit more detail not just what we're going to do for our targeted immigration policy, but why it is that the change is important.

So today I'd like to talk about the third portion of our platform: teamwork.

We've pointed out that the outgoing Government has put far too much responsibility into one man's hands, and how things have ground to a halt as a result. That's why our last email introduced the URL's Shadow Cabinet -- this talented group has a lot of experience in government between them, and they want to put it to work for you! More hands make for light work; skilled hands will make for good work.

I did mention the Democracy Agenda earlier, and while I won't spend too much time on it in this mailer, notice that teamwork matters there, too. Several of our reforms emphasize that political parties shouldn't be games of Follow the Leader; they should be teams of people coming together around shared principles.

Teamwork also shouldn't be limited to within one political party. We've expressed our openness to collaborate across the aisle, too; openness no other party has shown. When we say we want the best for Talossa, and that cooperation is the best way to get us there, you can know we take it seriously.

We've used the phrase "Ja Pevar din 'n Uniun" throughout this campaign: "There is Power in a Union". And that power comes from people working together towards a common goal. We hope you'll decide to be one of those people by entrusting us with your vote. If you really want to help reach our goals, why not consider joining the Union as well? More information, including our Senäts endorsements, can always be found on our Party's Witt board. Look it over, and see that the URL is the right choice to get Talossa moving forward again.

Yours in Liberty, Democracy, and Progress,

Mic'haglh Autófil

Hello, this is Breneir:

I am writing to ask for your support of the Independent Progressive (BREN) party. I was formerly the leader of the Green Party but have decided to explore a more independent and peculiar path. I believe that Talossa does not have to be an imitation of big countries. Nor do we need surface-level reforms that only address the aesthetic preferences of politics enthusiasts. We can choose to embrace our uniqueness and our differences. We can use our imagination to explore methods of governance and culture which best serve us without the constraints of tradition.

It just takes a little bravery and imagination. It also takes a willingness to cooperate and to let go of the past. Outrage and personal feuding are easy for some but the work of re-imagining Talossa is difficult but rewarding.

I promise bravery, imagination and cooperation: all of the above! And would welcome your vote in the current elections.

You can vote here in the National Database: https://database.talossa.com or by posting on Wittenberg on the official polling place thread: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=5436

As the nation enters the last week of the election, we are to a point where it becomes prudent to start considering the aftermath.

Make no mistake, we continue to campaign not just with the goal of leading the next government, but with the goal of earning the majority's support for our platform of democratic reform and a return to responsible, accountable, transparent administration. However, in the more likely case that we emerge as the largest party, but not with a majority, cooperation will become necessary, in line with our own platform of Government By A Team.

In the previous Cosă, while our initial offer of cooperation was rebuffed by the now-outgoing Government, we were eventually able to reach an agreement. Mutually beneficial, it ensured the stability of the Davinescu Government, while also guaranteeing that several landmark pieces of the URL's Democracy Agenda would pass the Ziu. It was a good compromise, the kind that can lead to more good work down the road.

We see no reason why some agreement in that same spirit cannot be reached again.

To be sure, enacting the Democracy Agenda will be central to such an agreement. Working with us means helping us to achieve the goals that our supporters base their very support on. We will not neglect their trust.

We also will not abandon the cordon sanitaire. We remain committed to forming a government that neither includes nor relies on the support of unanimously-condemned sexual harasser Breneir Tzaracomprada. It may be that one day he will offer a genuine apology and his victim will accept it, at which point the nation can finally begin the healing process. Until then, however, the cordon sanitaire will hold.

Madam President, I wanted to let a bit of time pass before enquiring. Just over two weeks now and no fellows have actioned my application. I wanted to check in as to the procedure should no other fellow take it up? Even if you are not an expert on my subject (which I don't think any of the other fellows are either) would you hazard an attempt at an appraisal?

I would love to assist with this.

I agree and I've made the change.

Dolly Parton, may she rest in peace, made it one of her many missions in life to help improve child literacy, and to honour her as a socity, I think we too should do somthing simaler, Gather books together to do donate to a GTA school or Youth organisation.

We are the society for the advancement of knowledge and this is surely the least we can do.

I think we should make it January 19th, her birthday. Dolly Parton entering the world was a better event than her departing it.

She was probably my favorite singer of all time and her joy and music will never be replicated.

Proclamation of Mourning in Honour of Dolly Parton

The Government of the Kingdom of Talossa notes with sorrow the passing of Dolly Rebecca Parton, who died peacefully in Nashville, Tennessee, on the 25th of August, 2026, at the age of eighty. While the world will rightly remember her as one of the great voices of American music, it is for her works of generosity and compassion that we particularly remember her.

Dolly Parton understood, from the poverty of her own childhood, that dignity is not a luxury. Inspired by a father she loved who never learned to read, she built the Imagination Library -- now the largest early childhood book-gifting program in the world, with more than 300 million free books delivered to children across five countries (including my own). Through her Dollywood Foundation, she reduced her home county's high school dropout rate from thirty-five percent to six, funded children's hospitals, and created thousands of jobs in a region that badly needed them. When wildfires struck the Great Smoky Mountains in 2016, she raised over twelve million dollars for displaced families. When the COVID-19 pandemic threatened the world, her million-dollar donation to Vanderbilt University helped fund the early research behind the Moderna vaccine -- and then she rolled up her rhinestone sleeve on camera to get the shot, because she knew her people trusted her more than they trusted a press release.

The Kingdom of Talossa extends its deepest sympathies to the Parton family and to the countless communities she lifted. Her legacy is not measured in platinum records, but in children who learned to read, in families who kept their homes, and in lives that were saved because one woman from the hills of Tennessee decided that she could help. May she rest in peace.

I would like to countersign this proclamation. I had the great pleasure of seeing Dolly in concert some years back at the Hollywood Bowl. My heart aches at the loss but it also feels great joy when thinking of all that she did for the world and her love for life, music, and her fellow humans.

(Baron you beat me to this as I was going to post my own proclamation when I had a few moment!)

I would as King like to take this one step further and declare that henceforth, January 19 shall be known as Dolly Parton Day.
