Sir what is your opinion of ties between the Islamic faith and violance in the middle east and north Africa? I assure this isn't ment to a loaded question and as a Sufi Muslim myself I assure you I will take any answer with maturity as you are untitled to your own thoughts.

[Pyreneesia]

Senator what do you thing about the United States announcement that they will be arming Anti-Assad rebels in the 2 year long Syrian Civil War?

While I find all armed conflict troubling, Bashir Al Assads use of chemical weapons has necessitated his downfall. The rebels deserve aid.

A respectable answer. Also what is you view on the Syrian National Council?

After technical difficulties being resolved, Senator is now once again open to questions.

What is you opinion on the current issues that have basicly defunct the ProgCon? And you overall view of the Contraversy around the President?

And again I'm still open for questions

I believe that while the Commies did indeed try to force their ideals upon the rest of us with their WEA, which very scarilly nearly past, it has been made clear by our president himself that this was a planned attempt to oust the left from power. I see this as the progress coalition finally collapsing due to its main dilemma: they combined a conservative party with a bunch of far left parties, and that clearly didn't work.
I think the president is a backstabbing traitor, a clever one at that, but thankfully he has done something that needed to be done: remove the far left from power. For now that is.
We will have to wait and see for the elections eh?

My question to you is: How do you feel about the new center right coalition, and will they collapse like the progress coalition or not?

Religion has been used as a weapon to enslave the proletariat across the world for centuries. In the Middle East and North Africa like countless other places it creates division between different religious sects, ethnicities and other mindless differences. You can see how this religious oppression takes hold in countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Saudi Arabia treating women and immigrants like slaves and Egyptians sexually assaulting and attacking fellow Egyptian citizens for reasons instilled into them by their religious oppressors. It is why I continue to head the League of Science and Rational Thought and one day I plan to purge this great nation of religion.

Mrs. Sophia Jennings is open for questions.

To all senators:
What is your stance on the civil war in Syria, and should we give arms to either side? If yes, then to who?

[Unicario]

To all senators:
What is your stance on the civil war in Syria, and should we give arms to either side? If yes, then to who?

"I believe we must not prop up either side of this conflict. One supports terrorism, and the other does as well. We cannot win in this civil war, as it is too late to act without it blowing up in our face in ten years or so. I believe we should proclaim a UN no-fly zone over Syria and just let the Syrians kill each other, or just leave it alone, like the American Civil War."

I'm not to sure yet as it hasn't had much time to do much of anything but come into shape. But with centralist and rightist parties hold a large part of the Senat this could lead to Center-Right control of the Senate for a long time to come. But this will need to be seen first but I don't see it falling apart like the Progress Coalition or at least not in the way the ProgCon did for a long time.

A respectable view but I don't think you will be able to get rid of religion from the nation. I mean you will have to kill me before I leave. But none the less I wish you luck in your goal.

Senator von Hohenzollern is still open to questions.

What is your opinion on the multiple humanitarian issues in western and central Africa and how do you think the nation should act on such issues?

[Pyreneesia]

To all senators:
What is your stance on the civil war in Syria, and should we give arms to either side? If yes, then to who?

I believe that randomly giving weapons to the opposition is a bad idea but I support the training of soldiers to fight for the Syrian National Council. This can take place in Turkey as the SNC is headquartered in Istambul.

[Malgrave]

To all senators:

I don't believe we should send weapons to either side in the conflict, although I do think that Aurentine should place its support behind the righteous secular government against the foreign supported islamist terrorists.

[Free South Califas]

Should just remind people that Senator Glasgia is always open for questions, though he may take some time to reply if he is not at the senate when asked.

Senator, is there a role for a strictly centrist coalition in line with the LDP's platform, i.e. supporting workers' right to organize in solidarity, social housing, and so on, allowing left and right parties only on their social terms? I recognize the centrist parties seem to have decided their allegiance at this point, but I'm curious about the possibilities in the future for an idea like this.

To all senators:

We should be intervening as peacekeepers and encouraging the UN to get involved.

There is most certainly a role for the basic principles of welfare and freedom, which you outlined, in a centrist coalition and within our platform. As with the last Progress Coalition, we can successfully compromise with both sides of the political spectrum and I hope we can find a way to do so. However, for the moment it seems we are tied to the right.

To all senators:

Assad has never been and will never be a suitable leader for the Syrian people. He is a psychotic dictator, with power and wealth as his only goals. Throughout his reign, he showed us his disregard to the basic human rights of his people, a disregard for their lives. However, with the use of chemical weapons against his own citizens, a line has been crossed and we must defend his people's freedom. I am all for authorising supplying the opposition with arms in order to bring a downfall of the regime that has strangled freedom in Syria for so long.

Senator Brigadier-General Lucius Mucius Malleolus is still open for questions.

What is you opinion on the current issues that have basicly defunct the ProgCon? And you overall view of the Contraversy around the President?

I hate Wolfmanne and most of his policies quiet frankly as they are stagnating sensible change.

[Jetan]

Senator Bates is available for questions.

Senator. What is you opinion on the ongoing conflict in the Congo?

It is unfortunate product of failed transition from a colony to independence. France should have prepared the people and infrastructure to selfrule before the independence. Despite these troubles, I believe Congo has the potential to become a regional power in the future though. We are going to need a regional partner in Africa in the future in any case. I think Congo would be a good choice. We should offer the Congolese government material and infrastructural aid, and possibly peacekeepers on the condition of them committing to improve the human rights situation in the country and commiting to democracy. This way both nations would benefit.

To all senators:
What is your stance on the civil war in Syria, and should we give arms to either side? If yes, then to who?

Well, whoever wins, it seems likely that we lose. On one side we have Assads antiwestern dictatorship, and on the other we have loose coalition of rebel groups, number of which are islamist extremists and have connections to Al-Qaida. I think we should open dialogue with the more moderate and secular rebel groups to find out their will and capability to a) defeat Assad and b) keep the extremist groups out of power before deciding if we should support them or not.

[Welsh Cowboy]

RYAN PIERCE - INDEPENDENT

Account Name: Welsh Cowboy
Occupation: Senator/Senatorial Staff/Other (say what it is) *DELETE AS APPROPRIATE*
Party Position(s):

N/A

Positions in Government:

None

Constituency: Höürepoort
Political Ideology: Christian Libertarian
Family: Single
Background: Senator Pierce was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA on September 12, 1979. He studied economics at the University of Michigan, graduating with a master's degree within five years. At the age of 23, he moved to Aurentina in order to open an economic firm, called Boyle, Pierce & Co. He brought the firm international acclaim, with its data and statistics being used by newspapers such as The Economist. At the age of 33, he was elected to the Aurentine Senate as an Independent, where he has served since.
Faith: Protestant Christian
Likes: Jesus, Liberty, Representative Democracy, Capitalism, Free Speech and Press, Strong Military, Free Trade, Limited Government
Dislikes: Socialism, Abortion, Partisan Politics, Inflation, Protectionism, Bailouts, Extreme Enviromentialism
Any Questions from the Public to be answered?

• What economic system do you support and why? I believe capitalism brings the most prosperity to a nation. We have seen unprecedented growth within the last few centuries because governments have allowed the private sector and individuals to flourish. Respect for property rights and enterprise creates wealth, jobs, and success for the most citizens of a nation. If Aurentina wants to be successful in the world, the government should encourage capitalism and free enterprise.
• Where do you stand on the issue of gay marriage? This is a tough and sensitive issue. As a Protestant Christian, I unequivocally believe that God ordained marriage to be between one man and one woman. Homosexuality is sinful and apart from God's plan. However, I also believe that it is perfectly reasonable for government to remove itself entirely from marriage and allow religions and individuals to make their own definition. In addition, I oppose efforts to degrade homosexuals or restrict their rights.
• Why are you an Independent? I see nothing wrong with political parties. In fact, in the system of government practiced by Aurentina, they are crucial. I do feel, though, that to restrict myself to a set of points is detrimental. I align most closely with the Reform Party and LFP, but I also believe that my constituents deserve my allegiance, not a political party. I still have not ruled out joining a party, but at this time, I'd like to remain independent.
