Statement from the Bretarian Home Office

Having had seen Kaufman's character in action The Republic of Bretar asks that it be allowed to send a small group of monitors, so that the Republic can be sure that these elections have been held in a proper, demmocratic manner.
These will be in no way peacekeepers or enforcers, and will not become involved. This is simply a request.

King Clauro IX sneers at the voting results:
"Liberal scum. I look forward to the day when Frozopia can exterminate each and everyone of them. And look! This man is gay. Hah. Is this the kind of country where Freaks come into power? If so they must be weaker than I thought!" King Clauro turns to Foreign Superiors Gore.
"Keep an eye on this situation. I want to know more about this barbaric country."
"Yes oh noble King." Foreign Superiors Gore's exits the King's study....

Vote Norton 2005

Kaufman is a homophobic facist. He used WMD's on his own people, similar to what Saddam Hussien did. He is, with out a doubt in my, and many others mind, clinicly insane. A vote for Norton, is a vote for Sanity.

Vote Kaufman 2005

I would like to announce to everybody who intends to vote, that a vote for Kaufman will give you a 50% discount on weapons sales, should you buy from us.

Kaufman's corporate credentials are second to none and I pledge my support to expanding and sustaining the arms industry, a vital part of the global free market economy.

Our opponent, corrupt faggot Jack Norton, wishes to CUT military spending and his policies would ruin the global arms industry.

Profits are the most important thing to consider, VOTE KAUFMAN.

I don't know what to do with this election, because Kaufman is fleeing Torontia with a huge amount of looted cash and gold.

He is going to make his resignation speech very soon.

Presidential Communique

Dear citizens of Torontia.

I have decided that it is in the best interests of ALL Torotnians to announce my resignation.

Torontia is in the middle of an election yet I have no longer any interest in running for office.

I will therefore hand over the Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Torontia to Jack Norton.

As you, citizens of Torontia and the international community know, I have always been nothing short of a positive force for freedom and peace in the world and I have always acted in the most responsible manner a ruler can act in.

May you proper under his rule and may he do what is best for Torontia.

Message transmision.

To President Jack Norton
From King Clauro IX

We predict turbulent days after the resignation of Paul Kaufman. There may still be supporters of him inside the country, some who may consider terrorist acts in there attempt to destroy a left wing leader. Therefore we offer whatever military assistance is necesserary to maintain the peace. We suggest 500 Standard Frozopian Infantry, 10 armoured trucks and 5 Black hawk configured helicopters. Please Respond.

End transmission.

I propose another way out to this regretable state of affairs: since it´s clear that the Torontians, if allowed to carry out their basest instincts, will either indulge in a far-right opressive regime or a neomarxist dystopia as ruthless as its ideological opposite, the international comunity must intervene to protect the Torontians from themselves. Therefore, the August person of President Sergio of the Republic of Sergio the First proposes that a UN- mandated protectorate be instaled in the Republic of Torontia, in the same fashion of what takes place in Bosnia-herzegovina. The UN authorities would ensure that no social or ethnic strife arises in this troublesome part of the world, while carrying out a vast program of construction of truly democratic institutions. To lay all the trust in the current democratic process is a sure recipie for disaste, as the winners of the hour will certainly take revenge on their predeccors and so forth.

The UN is a pathetic, bloated excuse for an attempt at world government. Ever since their Bioweapons Resolution banned vaccines in our nation we've decided that hte UN is formed of boiled cabbages. Thus said, I believe Torontia should be left closed and only be stepped on by foreigners if it consents to. We would like to publically pledge our support for Jack, we hope the weapons we snuck to him during the Revolution serve him well later.

Clearly, some of the more misguided elements in our midst continue to feell that the world should be governed like a leftist version of Heaven on Earth. The thing is, when one tries to impose change through revolution, things are bound to go awry. And Mr. Norton should proceed with caution: revolutions allways eat their children...

(OOC)

Norton did lead a failed revolution that was crushed by Kaufman.

Then the international community put pressure on Kaufman to hold elections after he did genocide in Torontia.

Norton went into the election campaign for President and during the polls he got a lead over Kaufman.

Kaufman, knowing he had lost, fled the nation with a lot of cash into exile.

Kaufman gave Norton the presidency in his resignation letter.

It's not a revolution.
