THE UNION OF LONDINIUM
From the Office of the Monarch
Hereby announcing the organization of democratic elections for our Union's government;
Ordering the vacating of all elected offices on December Twelfth of the year Two-Thousand and Seventeen;
Permitting all campaigning from this moment forward until the close of polls;
Thereforth polls for be open to all citizens from Dec 9 until Dec 12th;
Proclaimed on December Second, of the year Two-Thousand and Seventeen by Soverign Fortwhile I, in the sight of God;
Loyal friends,
It is my pleasure to call elections for the positions of Prime Minister, Speaker of the Assembly, and all five MP positions.
I would like to start by thanking the government of Bymaria for their hard work this term. I would also like to thank all those citizens who took a chance, and helped us fill our Parliament by the end of the term. Finally, I have been amazed by the astounding work of our three justices. Most regions of our size barely have a functional judicial system at all, but ours is active and vibrant!
I'm not sure what I expected when I founded this region, but I can confidently say that the activity and community we have here has surpassed even my wildest dreams. I am excited to see it keep going.
Instead of a long rambly speech, I have a few thoughts I want to share with all our citizens:
1. I encourage everyone to run for office. Seriously. Everyone here has talents and skills that we could use in the region. The social and roleplay parts of Londinium are fun, but they don't work if we don't have people helping out in government as well.
2. If you decide to run for the high position of Prime Minister, I strongly advise that you have a proposed Cabinet in mind for when you are elected. This term it took us a bit of time to get the full Cabinet together (not a criticism of Bymaria, it was the first time we ever did this!) and I think that made the start of the term a little more difficult.
3. All candidates please create a separate thread for your campaign in the elections area. Last time we had people campaigning in the declaration threads, and it made things sorta messy and hard to ask questions.
4. I know I haven't been as active in the social areas and on Discord as may be desired. The last three months has been very chaotic for me in the dreaded 'RL', but with things simmering down a bit for the holidays I hope to hang out a bit more — especially on weekends.
5. If you have questions of me, please ask. Also if you read this speech to the very end, post your favorite emoji as a response to it
