9th, February 5559

Fort William - Today morning, Mr. Carol was appointed as Prime Minister by Her Majesty the Empress, becoming Luthori’s first left-wing Prime Minister in over 40 years, 4 decades during which, the political landscape was dominated by the Conservative-Liberal diarchy, then by the Conservative Party alone. Winning in a landslide during the last election, Mr. Carol went to the Orange Palace after his predecessor, the Marquess of Holdenburg, went there to present his resignation to the Sovereign. He went to receive Her Majesty’s blessings to form a new government in her name, and while in theory, Luthori’s governmental formation may take up some time to make, here, in a surprise move, Mr. Carol appointed his government in the wake of his speech before the front door of 10 Crown Street where he was attended by dozens of supporters and his wife, Mrs. Carol. Here’s the entire speech of 9 minutes delivered by the new Luthorian Prime Minister upon his arrival in 10 Crown Street.

“My fellow citizens,

Upon this day forward, a new dawn set itself in our great nation. You’ve voted, in great majority in favour of change in leadership, in favour of reform, in favour of greater economic equality, less wealth inequalities, you voted for a freer and more inclusive Luthori. Today, this is your era, an era of the people, by the people and for the people. 152 years ago, our movement was first created under the name of the “Labour Party”, this coalition of left-wing politicians wanted to draw changes to this nation, draw a fairer and better economy, draw in the dust, the light upon all Luthorians, regardless of their condition, race, gender or sexual orientation would be able to recognize themselves into this nation. All these years, ever since the creation of the National Labour Party, we’ve fought continuously for these ideals to take roots in this Empire. This commitment comes from a long fray from our forefathers within the Labour Party, the Socialist-Ecologist Movement, the Radical Democratic Party. All of these parties, all of its members fought for the same rights that we are currently fighting for, equality. To all my fellow citizens, who placed wholeheartedly their trust in the National Labour Party, I am saying this. You are no longer being ignored by this political establishment in Fort William. Your voice will be heard all around the City, all around Darlington, as this government will be one of the people, by the people and for the people.

[people starts cheering and clapping]

Today, we are finding ourselves to be, yet again, at a crossroad, Lourenne’s brief international absence only brang instability and chaos, as financial markets were panicking due to Lourennais absence from the international chessboard. While Lourenne seems to have returned such as other powers like the Dorvish, it should now be clear that for the last few years, the world has learnt the hard way of not having a “hegemon” on the world stage. Something that we, as a nation, an united people, must counteract. The Luthorian Empire has a special place in this world that must be harnessed to reach her immense potential. This nation is special in its own ways, and will be a power to be reckoned with. May it for a thousand years that our nation never fall, yet again into the abyss of inactivity and general backward stance compared to the rest of the world. Yet, we also have a mission. All around the world, authoritarian regimes still reigns, terrorising their people and refusing the people’s basic rights such as free speech and free elections, as we are a nation that is currently enjoying the benefits of democracy, we have a mission towards the whole world, to set the world safe for democracy. No longer should we tolerate tyrannies in the world, no longer should we tolerate tyrants masking their tyranny as being a “democracy”, no longer should we continue that.

[audience starts clapping, becoming enthusiastic]

Finally, we have a family, a family of families with whom I am currently speaking to you all. This family is the Luthorian language. Of course, this family is represented with another family, the Commonwealth of Nations. For far too long, this organisation has been sleeping, waiting for their opportunity. Yet, as more and more Luthorian-speaking states are rising, it is now of the utmost importance that this vital link between Luthorian-speaking be permanently reactivated. With Likatonia’s ascension to a full member state status, the Commonwealth breathed again. Yet, our commitment and objective should be that all Luthorian-speaking states, from Rutania to New Englia, passing by Hutori and Tropica, all Luthorian-speaking states should join the Commonwealth. Of course, no one is forced to do anything. Yet, it is my sincere wish for all Luthorian-speaking states to be united under one banner, the banner of the Commonwealth.

This family of nations is linked through a language, which is vital in this country. This leads to a reflection on our education system, is it fair? Is it fair that some children are not going to school at all? Is it fair that our education system is pushing for children to become beasts thinking about themselves rather than about the community that we were grown into? Is it fair that such a level of pressure be imposed upon our students? Is it fair? I don’t think so. This government will push for a comprehensive education reform package which, based on the students’ own apprehension, testimonies and as well from the professors, headmasters and everyone involved in the education system, pushes for an effective, yet humane form of education. In contrast to the system that we are currently pushing our children into. Our society needs change, and while it starts with the education system, it also passes by our healthcare system. While previous governments tried to fix the system, it is still broken. Our Imperial Health Service is currently lacking in funds, leadership and talent. Today, we have a mission to change that. We must provide to the people the care that they deserve, not a care for which they would later regret. The IHS is in dire need of support. And this administration will do everything in its power to bring the IHS out of this dire situation and raise it to new heights.

This administration will bring to heights that it has never seen before. May God protect us in this journey and may God protect us. God Bless the Empress and Long live the Empire.”

Mr. Carol’s speech was welcomed with calm and serenity from the Fort William Stock Exchange as the Government didn’t yet reveal their economic policies, only vague remarks about the country’s healthcare and education system dire needs of reforms and oversight from the Imperial Government. The Stock Exchange overall, even reacted positively to the Prime Minister’s opening speech in Crown Street, although, it should be awaited tomorrow to know whether or not the Government appointees would cause any significant change to the markets. The Prime Minister then went into Crown Street itself and received congratulations upon his election victory by foreign leaders. He then promptly began receiving many politicians from his own party to appoint them as Government ministers, as per tradition. Nothing was very much speculated, as most of the new ministers are former members of Mr. Carol’s Shadow Ministry back when he was serving as the Leader of the Opposition.

Already, both the new Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary have already planned press conferences of their own, to better outline their doctrines and how things would (hopefully) move forward during their term. Mrs. Pyrce and Mr. Howard are also expected to move their pawns in prevision of the upcoming 5560 Budget Revision, operated by Chancellor of the Exchequer and Deputy PM, Rebecca Landmorth.
