BREAKING NEWS: Liberal smashes Social Labour in elections

Questers

With Rt. Hon Tovey's Social Labour Party being smashed in the polls by Liberal Winston Foxbury two weeks ago, the information has only been released today because the editor who was supposed to release it is a lazy piece of shit. While one may think that the Liberal's laissez-faire and classic liberal economics would scare away working class voters, the Liberal Party's main base comes from the middle and working classes who are eager to see a strong leader in power that can revive the economy. Foxbury has been opposed by the upper class for being "too aggressive" and "uneccessarily hostile towards certain states."

With a fierce anti communist and pro-liberty Prime Minister in charge, Questers foreign policy has taken a turn. Previously the Crown Imperium followed a "the enemy of our enemy is our friend" policy but Foxbury has promised to reverse this and take a more moralistic and ideological approach to international politics as opposed to the "realpolitik" heralded by states such as Southeast Asia. In the past Questers has supported barbaric states such as Doomingsland and MassPwnage for fear that the alternative was worse. Now we will see Questers taking more care to support those that shares its ideologies, not its enemies. Furthermore, the Crown Imperium is looking to expand its already large Commonwealth to include more protectorate states, and is beginning to play a larger part in the fight against Communism around the world.

Amongst other things, Questers has begun to donate massive amounts of money - some trillion USD per year for six years, to the rebuilding of Clandonian infrastructure and industry and military, in exchange for bases, both air and naval, in Clandonia, and free passage to the protectorate of Okielahoma which lies landlocked behind Clandonia. Foxbury has stressed that he supports the new Clandonian nation and despite Clandonia being a Praetonian protectorate, not a Questarian, that Questers will defend Clandonia too if neccessary. Large amounts of money are being spent on protectorate states, namely Azaha, to rebuild their militaries to world standards. Even the already large and powerful Questarian military is being given more funding.

Massive tax cuts are already underway and there are plans to privatise several state companies. Foxbury has promised to better the lives of the working and middle classes with lower tax burdens but with comprehensive support for the working class by promising that the economy will recover from its stale position under the Social Labourites, providing less work hours, better pay, and more chance for corporations to develop and educate gifted children (who will later get well paid jobs in the corporation), a practice that already goes on in Questers.

Rt Honourable Prime Minister Winston Foxbury

"No longer will the Crown Imperium support APOC or other vicious agreements for the sake of supporting the enemy of our enemy... we will resist all those who are against liberty and freedom, be they communists or totalitarians..."

"An attack on our most esteemed ally... [of] Praetonia or her protectorates is an attack on our nation itself..."

"Communism, in all its forms, Socialism, Collectivism, Bolshevism, is wrong, evil, malignant, and a stain on the rights and the lives of free men. The Charitist League say it is a crime for us, the rich nations of the world, to sit in our homes watch the people of poorer nations starve... I say it is a crime for us, the free nations of the world, to sit on our homes and watch the people of communist nations starve."

"I will fight tooth and nail - blood and sweat - bone and muscle - to stop the spread of the red octopus over this world. If neccessary, I would expect the rest of the nation to follow."

"Communists are like snakes. They only attack smaller animals and if you stand up to them they'll run away. But they're fat and slow, and if you chase them you can kill them. I plan to chase every snake back to hell, where I presume they came from."

Questerian Liberals Storm to Victory

In a shock election result in the regional nation of Questers the ruling Social Labour Party was toppled from government as the Liberal took forty four per cent of the vote. Speaking after his victory to the Times the new Prime Minister Winston Foxbury spoke about the ending of relations with the Alliance for the Preservation of Civilization, "No longer will the Crown Imperium support APOC or other vicious agreements for the sake of supporting the enemy of our enemy... we will resist all those who are against liberty and freedom, be they communists or totalitarians..." Clandonian political commentators view his appointment as beneficial for the United Kingdom with the deployment of Questerian troops and the sharing of bases bringing in $1 Trillion USD's for the next six years.

The strategical location of Clandonia Prime, situated next to the Midlonian border means any Midlonian military violence would fail, with the Midlonians currently embarked on a campaign against Whyatica for its recent actions, tensions were raised with the deployment of several Clandonian army groups along the border to support the new Western King William Defence Frontier.

Clandonian industry continues to benefit from foreign investment with the GDPPC breaking the P$43,774.84 mark due to the strong influence of the Praetonian Crown. Questerian investment brings the modernisation of the Clandonian military bringing it ready for fully independent combat operations.

On the diplomatic arena Mr Foxbury promised a tough anti-communist stance reinforcing his liberal economic policy. This comes as news of the situation if Zanski drawing in the United Kingdom of Clandonia Prime and other ACTO pact members after communist imperialist warmongers of Shazbotdom and Aurum Domus deployed troops. In a statement by His Majesty's government after meeting Rt Hon Mr David Sistilin of the Liberal Tories, the Lord Protector Sir Robert Kings said Clandonian combat preparations were under way with a naval fleet diverted from United Kingdom2 to defend Zanski including the Clandonian super dreadnought HMS The Mighty Hood under the command of Lord Sea Admiral Miklanov. Defence analysts confirm Questerian and even Doomingsland forces may be sent.

Mr David Sistilin of the Clandonian Liberal Tories sent a message of congratulations to Mr Foxbury on his excellent election result bringing more Liberal minded governments into the Sovereign League alliance. The Sovereign League has faced conflict over its involvement with the APOC alliance which contains many CAD nations which critics argue are ideologically paradoxical. Other critics argue that many CAD nations are signers of the Anti Communist Treat Organisation further complicating the complex relationship of the Sovereign League and APOC.

The Times wishes Mr Foxbury the best of luck in his first term as Prime Minister and hopes Clandonian-Praetonian-Questerian relations will be further strengthened by this election victory.

OOC: Another televised address...

IC: [the following is an excerpt from a televised address delivered by His Divine Majesty the Sacred Emperor to his Council of Prefects]

Gentlemen of the Council, I greet you in the name of the gods.

I had planned for this to be a happy occasion. I could bring you good news of the excellent rate of infrastructure growth in Tiraeum and our other new provinces; I could inform you of the record profits that Kregaian companies made today on the stock market, or the latest plans in our next-generation fleet program.

Unfortunately, this morning I was handed news that precludes all that.

In faraway Haven, home to cowards and infidels as well as blood allies, the United Kingdom of Questaria has committed base and terrible treason.

The Questarian Liberal Party swept elections two weeks ago, and the result was the election of an infidel fool, Winston Foxbury, to the position of Prime Minister. That nation has stood with us in the Alliance for the Preservation for Civilization, in the Anti-Communist Treaty Organization...we have respected and trusted the people of Questaria. See how easily they betray us!

Foxbury maintains a rightful hatred of communism. But it does him no good to hate the forsaken when he rejects the blessed as well! He has personally stated that he will support the APOC no longer, and rather than cooperate pragmatically and justly with his new allies in the CAD, he is acting out of his infidel "morals"!

Gentlemen, all of you remember, I am sure, the blasphemy and slander that erupted from fools like Damien Dreadfire and the nations of Gholgoth that suckle hungrily at his teat, directed at the APOC. They said it would never work, that Sovereign League and CAD cannot coexist for a purpose. I called those statements what they were: slander and lies! The venom of the fearful! And yet, if cowards and heathens like Foxbury continue to take power through the Sovereign League, I truly fear for the APOC.

I have sent messages to the governments of all Sovereign League members who are also involved in the APOC, solemnly requesting that they remain in the alliance. Remember the lies of Gholgoth, and how we insisted the day that APOC broke would not come before our task was done. The task is not done, gentlemen; the Red threat infects the world, and criminals and infidels sit in seats of shadowy power. If the APOC is to survive, we must stay together and fight together.
