IN PARLIAMENT

28 JULY 1750

MY Lords and Honourable Members, the roots of Europe have once more been shook. Since we last convened on the issue of Spain last month, and heard the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council's majority opinion, Spain has undergone a tectonic shift in policy. PREMIER LEONARDO, former Head of the Government of Spain, has been deposed and exiled. His Syndicate has fallen. His Majesty, King Ferdinand Clemente of Spain, stripped the former statesman of all titles, positions, and honours he held in Spain. The political party that came to power not four months ago, which promised to bring change and true democracy to the Spanish empire, had unveiled itself gnarled and grey, a shadow of the former Spanish dictatorships such as the Paradox, the Delta Empire, Casa di Royale, and Imperio de Espana, to name a few. Premier Leonardo, the man once trusted to work closely with the progressive King Ferdinand, who we all thought would revolutionize Spanish society, unveiled himself as a Pearsonic apostle, whose only goal was the accumulation of personal power for himself. In his short tennure as leader of Spain, he effectively devastated years of diplomacy with other states of Europe, and damaged the fragile trust in Spain that Ferdinand's ascension brought to the country, after so many years of Pearsonic terror. He worked tirelessly to isolate and devastate the Swiss Kingdom internationally and internally. He taunted the Queen of Haven, and encouraged her to commit suicide. He found enemies everywhere he went. He has called respected members of the international community all kinds of unforgiveable slander. This is a man we thought would lead the Spanish in a new direction, yet he only attempted to drive them back to their primitive Pearsonic state. Yet, in his way stood those Spaniards whom had enough of the awful governance that the Syndicate presented. Ferdinand Clemente, a friend to democracy since his first rebellion against his tyrannical father, rallied the Spanish generals and ministers to fight back against Leonardo's tyrannical regime. Through the efforts of these officers, the Syndicate Government was toppled, and King Ferdinand was allowed to take back the power that Leonardo had stripped of him. We now come to the present day. Ferdinand's Royalist cause has garnered immense support by the Spanish people for their rightful ruler, with the Royalists now controlling 85% of the nation. Leonardo has moved his government-in-exile to Seville, where he intends to hold out on a last ditch effort to conserve his power. Both sides have appealed to HM Cabinet. Former Premier Leonardo reached out to the British Prime Minister and Southern Secretary, the night of his ousting from power. In a cable to the Southern Secretary he stated, "Grey, I get we have our differences, and we don't like eachother, but I really ask you to take a deep breath and think before making a rash decision with these separatists". Yet prior to this, he makes speeches alluding to a "British secret agenda" and our "Switzerland project", as well as attacking members of Britain in every speech he made. He's made statements ranging from "give Britain a surprise drug test" to calling King Alexander of Switzerland "a terrorist leader like Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi". Statements like these both demolished the trust other states had in Spain, and portrayed Britain in a poor light, for maintaining peace with such a regime. We are given now, a choice between the Royalist cause, lead by Ferdinand Clemente, which promises REAL progressive change in Spain, or the Pearsonic entity known as the Syndicate, which attempts only to, as I said in a speech a few months ago, engulf all of role-play. Leonardo has shown himself as the polar opposite of the leader Spain needs. He has a history of starting problems with other nations, then denying it when confronted about the fallacies he brings forth. He continually would threaten, harass, and attempt to blackmail Members of Parliament, yet would back down in the face of Britain's might. He cannot be trusted, or allowed, to retain power, and dig Spain into an even deeper hole. We are left then, with Ferdinand Clemente, who for those who know him, has been a fair and just monarch since he took the throne in 1748. HOWEVER, there are still issues in the ROYALIST cause, that had needed to be addressed. The Southern Secretary sent a cable to Spanish King and Crown Prince, informing them of the following, "Issues HM Government has with the Royalist Cause as of now: 1) Perceived friendliness towards Phillip V Clemente aka Pearson Wright. Pearson Wright was expelled from RP sometime ago, and his inclusion into the Spanish discord is troubling. While Leonardo is a dangerous dictator, he's a holy man compared to the crimes of Wright. Full British support cannot be given to the Royalists while they support Pearson Wright. 2) The inclusion of Hannibal Bush aka Samuel Clemente aka Sam Hookrage in a position of power in Spain. The Swiss have expressed their wish to us that Hannibal Clemente be brought to trial for his crimes regarding the June Crisis. Due to his past with actions, he is not a man this government trusts to be in a position of power in any way, shape, or form. 3) The inclusion of "Guldan" in the government of Royalist Spain. Guldan has numerously alluded to major infringements of guidelines in both RP, and in POTCO. He has numerously threathened to DDoS British officials, he has attempted to leak images of Lord Grey, he has threatened to have Pearson and Hippie "hack" Leonardo to gain his passwords (something we do NOT support, as we are against hacking of any kind), tried to intimidate Britain by harboring blacklisted users (Pearson, Hippie) in Spain, etc. " Nevertheless, Ferdinand had ordered the banishment of his father around the same time, and Spanish officials informed us that it was Leonardo who had brought Pearson into the channel. It was found that Hannibal had gone incognito weeks prior to the restoration, and that the Spaniards gave us their word that Guldan would be reigned in. I believe that this is sufficient evidence enough to allow this Honourable House to determine that the Royalist cause IS the faction we should support in Spain. I trust that the Honourable members of this chamber will make the proper decisions today, and I urge them to vote YES for support to the Royalist cause.

'''Drafted by Lord Grey. Passed in Parliament by the vote of 20-0.'''
