In the Xanthalian senate today the Xanthalian Earth representative was jeered from the senate chambers after introducing a proposal that would strip Xanthal of its socialist policies. Just hours later the news hit the public with tidal force. Spontaneous protests against capitalism and the Xanthalian Earth representative were seen throughout Xanthal, and the senator resigned at 5 P.M. this evening. A new Xanthalian Earth representative will be elected by the end of the month.

Stone River is appalled at the lack of respect you give for an opinion that differs from the norm. To truly be a free state, you must respect the right of the minority to express its desires, even if they are not implemented. Your government had no right to force a representative out of office simply because his opinion differed from your own.

He resigned. We didn't force him. His beliefs and the way he openly threw them at the Xanthalian people were his downfall. The rest of the Senate hated him for it, along with Xanthal's 80% anticapitalist (and 1% pro-capitalist) society.
