The agreement for a Government of National Unity, recently issued by the Seneschal, marks an important milestone in Talossan history -- a milestone that many might not have believed possible even only a few years ago.

Over the years, and especially since Reunision, Talossan politics has been marked by a deadlock between parties of what some might call the "Republican" and "RUMP" traditions. That these two camps have agreed to share the power of government on a basis of near-equality overturns our preconceptions of what Talossa could be.

Given that history of deadlock, when the opportunity arose to form a grand coalition with our previous opponents, the Union of Free Reformists was faced with certain risks. By bridging the divide, would we betray a legacy of just struggle against conservative and monarchist tendencies in Talossan politics?

For two key reasons, we concluded that the answer to that question was no.

Firstly, the Union of Free Reformists ran in this election on a platform critical of the previous minority government's centralization of authority and its tendency towards "one man band" organization; this critique was clearly one that many voters shared, as we were rewarded with an excellent vote. We found ourselves with the opportunity to actually form a strong government team of the exact type we had called for: a team chosen on merit, rather than partisan hackery. It would have been a betrayal of our voters' trust had we not tried to meet that opportunity head-on.

Secondly, the other main theme of our platform, the Democracy Agenda, remains intact as our longer-term political goal. Our Progressive Alliance partners have agreed to support legislation enacting at least one point on this Agenda. To their credit, they have shown good faith on this in the previous Cosă, not only working with us to enact the Pseudo-Real Cosă Act over the objections of some of their base, but also working well together on the project of social sanctions against Talossa's more antisocial characters.

There are no guarantees of success in politics, of course; a lot of trust remains to be built between Prog and URL ministers and caucuses. But we are confident that, when the first elections to the 20-seat Cosă arrive, the Talossan people will reward constructive engagement over ideological stubbornness. The URL's ministers pledge to prove through our actions that we have the vision and work ethic to lead Talossa.

¡Vivadra Talossa democrätic!

My next nominee is a legend in her own time, whose passion has helped remake Talossan culture during her time within and without the Kingdom.  With a fierce willingness to challenge injustice wherever she finds it, whenever she finds it, she brings this drive and many years of experience to this role.  We are honoured to welcome her to this Government.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà apünta Miestră Schivă àl óifisch del Avocat-Xheneral, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty appoint Miestră Schivă to the office of Attorney-General, and I urge her to serve the Organic Law and her King to the best of her abilities.

My next nominee has had some concerns take him away briefly, but that didn't stop him from discharging his duties to the people.  He is not just a model of probity, but also of kindness and dedication.  All of us should hope for the same.  This past term, he oversaw the budget process.  This year, we believe he will be working with others to realize those dreams that need a few extra bence to happen.  With gratitude, I am glad to have Françal I. Lux still in the saddle.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty continue Françal I. Lux as the office of Minister of Finance, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

Immigration remains a central focus of this Government, although we do not expect to need the wholesale reinvention of the technology that we saw last term.  Instead, the focus will turn to the process itself and any rough points.  We have the data now, and so we're going to use it to keep making things better.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà cointinuadra Alexandreu Davinescu àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Inmigraziun.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty continue Alexandreu Davinescu in the office of Minister of Immigration.

Some pageantry, please!


My nominee for Distain has been a citizen of our country for only four years, but in that time he has risen to become a powerful voice for his beliefs and a tireless advocate for improvement.  He's contributed to our understanding of politics with his co-founding of l'Institüt del Agroïcismeu Political (the Institute for Political Nerdery), and he's one of the leaders of the Union of Free Reformists.  I have no doubt he will be a vigorous and potent servant of the people.

Aglhorc:

Appointments to the Cabinet

By the authority granted me by Org.VI.3, I would like to ask His Majesty, the King of Talossa, to appoint some select few to assist with the work of government.  These shall serve in the Cabinet, and I know they will serve with honour.  Many of these individuals have already planned out their goals, while others will have work enough in the days to come.

As I set about this task, I wish to express my gratitude to them for agreeing to serve their fellow citizens.  Our officials serve without pay and without pomp, enduring criticism and tedium for the joy of seeing a vision realized and a trust fulfilled. Thank you, my friends. And thank you to the people of Talossa, for believing in a bright future to come.
