[UK] Brexit?

Day 3,620, 04:10 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by 10 Downing Street

As some of you may have noticed, I have proposed a withdrawal from Orion. This was always my intent, and I would have put this to the vote earlier were it not for our current situation. Since I have already received some criticism for this, allow me to explain my reasoning.

Having sat in Alliance meetings for the past three months, I have become increasingly jaded and dissatisfied with how things have been going. It has appeared to be little more than a social club with certain parties having no particular interest in doing anything other than remaining neutral and, from my point of view, offering nothing that selected MPPs cannot offer.

48 Hours


One vocal critic has complained in Congress that the 48 hours I allowed before proposing the law wasn't long enough to debate. I disagree. Congress is elected to hold Government to account, or to support it's decisions. That is why they are given shiny buttons. If we were to endlessly debate decisions, or wait to come to a consensus in Congress, it is highly unlikely that anything would ever get done since certain quarters would still be debating it months down the line.


Brexit?


Those few who actually take the time to talk to me and get to know me would already know of my misgivings regarding Orion. Most who have talked to me share my sentiments, to some level at least. I'm not expecting everyone to agree. Nor am I expecting a landslide Congress vote in favour or against leaving. I leave it to your elected representatives in Congress to make the decision as befits their conscience.


Ireland


Ireland has now made their way safely to France. There is a deal to release the remainder of Irish-held regions in place. Keep an eye on the National Feed for more details.


USA and Colombia


I have put forward a proposal for the release of occupied regions and suggested paths for training wars with both Colombia and the US to continue at least until the end of my term. I am currently awaiting a response, and further details will appear on the National Feed as and when.
