Centre Party leader Tao Hong has officially announced his party’s support for the return of the monarchy. His decision to endorse the Lotus Party on the second ballot should guarantee a victory on the YES side of the referendum:

”The Centre Party will campaign in May’s election for the immediate return of Indrala’s monarchy. In order to ensure our success, we will be endorsing the Lotus Party on the second ballot so that a pro-monarchist, centrist ally heads the next government of Indrala regardless of our election result. This strategy is principal to the Centrist mandate; which is to put country over party. We seek stability through Indrala’s great moment of change.”

This open and cooperative tone has already signalled change amongst the centrist ranks. It was not much more than a year ago that the Republicans under Chang Ruogang were uttering threats at the possibility of another LP government – and possibly much worse given the successful return of the monarchy. Tao Hong has tasked himself to distance the new party from the liability that was the Republicans under Ms. Chang. His focus seems to be solely on the referendum to be held during May’s election, leaving many to wonder how the party can hope to achieve victory in the election while lacking any type of manifesto or platform. Mr. Tao, however, does not seem so worried:

”Indrala knows what a Zhang Zemin government looks like. It is easy then, to imagine what a Centre Party government will look like! My friends, let us focus on the stability of this country. Then, we can show Indrala what centrist ideas are all about!”

More to come...
