Premier Apparent Speaker Agnethe Bjorksdattir looks forward to SP agenda finally moving forward

Speaker of the SP, and presumptive Premier of the Republic Agnethe Bjorksdattir visited the site of a high rise being built in Lolla to tout early successes for the SP following the election of the first socialist President in 10 years. “We come here, to the top of this building which represents the new Kalistan so that we can talk about a positive and optimistic future which includes Each and Every Kalistani, as well as our fraternal countries Hutori and Lourenne whom we’ve had long positive and beneficial relationships with through the years. Weve enjoyed peace and tranquity under KP administration following the chaos which resulted in the successful prosecution of 97 individuals, most of them SP members, for corruption, malfeasance and outright theft of public funds. The people are now ready for the Socialist Party and our coalition partners to lead the way forward to the next steps of a new Kalistani re-emergence.”

The FM, Troy Ulysses, who appeared with the Premier, talked about several initiatives of the Socialists in the National Assembly. “First, we welcome the eventual passage of the Cruiser sales bill to Hutori. This represents an opportunity for us to move closer to our long time friends. The 16 Luzon II cruisers which are being sold at a price of 3.5 billion KRB, are returning to the home of the 5100 cruiser which was the prototype of these designs. With this first transfer, future transfers are also being contemplated. Additionally it provides a motor for Kalistani modernization without having to raise new revenues.”

More importantly, the Speaker has advanced the Anantonese Ocean Integration Accord, creating a customs, travel, and investment union between Kalistan and Lourenne. “This Accord removes the last barriers to cross channel trade between Kalistan and Lourenne. Included in the agreement is free and unhindered movement of goods, services, and labor, but most importantly, Lourenne capital will be treated as Kalistani capital within the Republic and Vice versa. This will lead to the explosion of new investment opportunities for both nations and a dramatic potential uptick in the standard of living for the average Kalistani.”

When asked if Kalistan is abandoning zero growth, the Speaker was unequivocal. “The SP will never abandon zero growth. What this does is allow for investment primarily in sectors that Kalistani investors do not already possess an edge. This is about be bringing new products to our markets, new jobs to our shores and new opportunities for Kalistani investment abroad.”

The optimistic tone of the young Socialist leader infused the questions reporters asked her in the interrogation that followed. The Soon to be Premier and the FM then took a tour around the high rise which is being produced with environmentally friendly materials, is ultra energy efficient and will house 50 families when it is completed. “We especially look forward to adopting Lourennes ideas on environmental economics. They are a leader in that field, and that conforms with the SP’s desire to promote environmentally conservationist policies.”
