{{Are other factions allowed to award titles to people in other factions, as a means to bribe them to vote with them or switch factions? Fellow Blue Demes, I am not planning on switching, just curious.}}
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
{{This is just awesome.}}{{If anyone doesn't catch it, this is a reference to the Romans mocking Jesus by giving him a crown of thorns befitting the King of the Jews. Obviously, in this case, words were changed. And Konstantinos is certainly no Jesus, and Domenico no Pilate. Just thought I'd use my own historical analogy to match my opponents. This is probably as close to 'get rekt' as is possible in the 15th century.}}
{{There will be more to replace them, I figure my next guy will be louder and less reasonable, it seems more fun that way}}{{Oh it will truly be a sad day when Konstantinos and Domenico finally kick the bucket and the senate will be far more boring without them, though at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if we had a blood feud between families that could go on for centuries. Imagine both of them on their death beds, their last words reminding their children to never trust anyone from the other family.
Either that or we'll be back here in a hundred years and Moustakas and Colombo will be close allies and friends.}}

Senator Hadrianos Raoul*Senator Helios speaks with a mild Armenian accent* My fellow senators, in these past years we have been doing nothing but war. It was necessary, and I fully supported it. Now we stand again on the doorstep of war, this time for Aegyptus. Again, we need it: not only to liberate the good christians and Romans under Timurid oppression, but too to have a strong naval base ready to set out to the east.
However, I do not see why senator Raoul would want to attack the Germans: after all, are they not Orthodox too, and why should we attack them and not the furasteri or the monghols first? Should we not first attack the infidels rather than, while usurpers, christians? and how, I ask you, would this benefit the Blue Demes in any way? We already know of their lands, and there is nothing to trade or explore.
However, if after reconquering Aegyptus we send an expedition to the east instead, this would wholly benefit us: it would lead to both trade and exploration, the main concern of our Demes. This is why I propose you vote for me: instead of fighting pointless wars with the Germans, we will benefit our Demes and the Kaysrut- Impera- the Imparium.

While the Germans are traitors, they still believe in our Lord Iesous Kristos. Why should we attack them and not furasteri, monghols or Timurids?
And in your speech, I do not see anyhting that will help our Demes.
