His Majesty favours the views of the Rt. Honourable Dr W A Foxbury who's Liberal views reflect those of His Majesty. The decrease in taxes is pleasing as it promotes laisez faire capitalism and with increased military defence spending it will make the Haven and Sovereign League stronger.

As an act of support His Majesty donates $200 Million NSD's to the Liberal Party, we do ask what are the parties views on the Clandonia and the re founding lead by King William VII?

What happens when a rich Izistani learns of a election in the neighboring state of Questers, and having made his fortune in uranium mining, has three hundred million dollars burning a hole in his pocket?

A very good day for the Social Labour Party, thats what. Epically when three hundred million in platinum bonds turns up in their possession...

The Democratic Empire of Vantanas wishes to show it's support to the Liberal Party with a donation of twenty million dollars monthly, until the elections are over. Also, we have a commercial that we donate to you, stressing that a vote for the Liberal Party is a vote for new allies (like me). Finally, we have five thousand informative pamphlets we wish to donate.

As a nation unknown to the political scene I most humbly donate the sum of 1.74 billion NS Dollars on behalf of the Rogernomican Federation which consists of the three nations Rogernomics, Rogernomica and New Rogernomics to the Social Labour Party.

This is due to the present government attitude that taxes should be 100% to provide the best possible standard of living for its people.

Good evening! I am Jennifer Smythe, and this is the BBC Six O'Clock News.
It has been announced that Questers, a fellow Havenite and member of the international alliance the Sovereign League, will hold elections in six months. President Thomas Stewern has come under criticism from both the left opposition as well as his own Liberal Party, after saying in a press conference that he would look forward to seeing the Right Honourable Doctor Foxbury of the Questerian Liberal Party as the new Prime Minister. The Worker's Party object to what they percieve as ''interfereing with the democratic process of another country''. Stewern answered these criticisms in a recent press conference, saying that he was speaking as leader for a fellow liberal party and not as President of Blackwood.
Critics in the moderate faction of Stewern's own party has criticized him for endorsing the budget policies of Doctor Foxbury and the limiting of pensions to civil servants. President stewern has yet to answer this.

SSAFA News Special: Elections in Questers

The Questerian goverment announced earlier today that elections will be holding elections within six months. A close ally of Franberry, the election is being followed closley by those in our goverment. President Geoli Joolitan has announced his support for the Rt. Hon. Dr. W.A. Foxbury, of the Liberal Party. There was thunderous applause at this anouncement, which was made during a short speech at the Hipodrome, where the cabinet and the President were attending a Polo game. Minutes before this broadcast; Georgiano Bluthi, Foreign Minister of the Socialist Sultanate Duchydom of Franberry, High Lord of Diplomancy, Grand White Knight of the Order of Larcano, Holder of the High Diplomatic Scripture, Lord of Exterior Relations, and Supreme Wamma-Ganna of Kooblo; deplored the actions of other goverments in triying to intervine in the Questerian elections by sending massive monetary gifts. He also noted that all that our President has sent is a modest muffin basket. Critics of the goverment have citisized the President for backing a candidate who promises to cut pensions. The President has pledged to answer this after his afternoon nap.

And now, to the winning lottery numbers!

what are the parties views on the Clandonia and the re founding lead by King William VII? [/FONT]

"The Liberal Party at the moment has a neutral view; we will have to wait and see, although Clandonia Prime finalyl looks promising under a new, decent government, its future acts will be extremely important in determing Liberal Policy on Clandonia if we are elected."
