Speech
On the eve of elections, I have one final message to all of you. It involves simply, who to vote for.
Mr. Royalist is running on the monarchy platform. Monarchy is the greatest human folly in history. Why trust someone to run a nation, when that person's only claim to the nation is that he was born into the right family? There were five thousand people in England who would be better kings than Henry VIII, yet they could not be because Henry had the right parents. People should be qualified to lead a country, not because of their parents, but because of their honesty, intelligence, and integrity, and should be elected because the people believe he can do the job, not because the people hope he can do the job as well as his daddy!
Mr. Murmurandus is running on the platform of I'll Keep Doing What I'm Doing Now. Well, what IS he doing now? During the past term, only ONE bill was passed [or, will be passed], and NONE signed into law! Mr. Murmurandus, then, would presumably continue with nothingness. He has not given any goals as for what he wants to do. (In all fairness, his party has, but he hasn't.) So his agenda is as likely to involve reforming the Lacrosse League, just as much as it is to criticize the French or fight in Iraq.
Me? I've made goals: pass minimum wage laws, join the WTO, give the military new equipment, and investigate to see if political refugees could be terrorists. And I will use my power to push Parliament into action as much as I need to, and appoint a very hardworking [OOC: active] Cabinet. So a vote for me is a vote for a republic--and for an end to governmental lethargy.
