Labour endorses Knapp for President, as Neocons show their incompetence yet again
Kaliburg, Ananto
June 30th, 4125


The Premier of the Republic enjoys much wider support than the Neoconservative Party

As the race for the Presidency heats up, the Labour Party has officially endorsed the Chair of the Populist Environmental Party Jacob Knapp. Citing that 'Sophia Conti believes she can advance her agenda more effectively as Foreign Minister', the party said they encouraged other parties to follow suit. Despite the fact that the role of the President has been eroded extensively in recent years, Labour believe that the sitting President- Neoconservative Randell Ross- is the worst thing to happen to happen to Ananto since the invasion of Indrala. The President has done nothing except collect paychecks until last week; when he agreed to conduct an interview with the People's Press.

(Ayesha Nur, reporter): First question, Mr President what is your view on the ongoing crisis in Saridan?

(Randell Ross, President of the Republic): Listen, I think whatever my foreign policy guy says.

N: Are you aware that the Foreign Minister is a woman, Mr President? Sophia Conti, your predecessor in office. A follow up question: if you agree with your Foreign Minister, why did you vote against her on the bill to support Trigunia?

R: Because, let's be honest: Sophia is an idiot. She won't even let us have a police force. And she is letting people get hurt and killed by having no protection for them, and if I have the power we will be seeking criminal charges.

N: Do you understand that your comments are factually incorrect? That Kalistan has never had a police force and that support for such a force is in the single figures among the public?

R: I'd like to see the report you got that from, you know what you must be one of those brainwashed people of Conti!" [Ross throws his notes] Fuck Conti, fuck Labour, and fuck liberals! None of you bastards know how to run a country!

N: Mr President, we will be asking no further questions. You are clearly incompetent.

R: HUH YOU LIKE THAT? THE LIBERALS ARE TERRIBLE. I DARE YOU TO PUBLISH IT! DO IT!

Ross' comments will only add to the feeling that he is unfit to serve as President, given that Labour has run the country for longer than he has been alive. A poll conducted by the People's Press indicated that his net favourability rating was -72%, a record since we began collecting data. Even former President Owen Rushmoore, who forged party documents to put himself forward as the Conservative Independence Party candidate only reached -56%. In contrast, the Foreign Minister Sophia Conti and Premier Clementine Espinoza are enjoying 38% and 59% favourability respectively.
