Rupert Weinthal is now open for questions.

Senator, what is your opinion on the rise of extremism on both the left and right?

[Grand Longueville]

Ah, yes, the Reverend Father Senator d'Longueville will take any questions addressed to him as of now.

Rev. Father Senator, as a very traditionalist conservative and absolute monarchist, does it concern or frustrate you that the Classical Monarchist Party does not take a more hardline traditionalist stance, considering the number of more liberal and moderate monarchists among its ranks?

I humbly thank Your Lordship for the question.

Your Lordship is quite right regarding my being a traditionalist conservative and an absolute monarchist. While I understand that not all share my "hardline traditionalist stance", it does, at times, bewilder me how some can so blatantly disregard the central tenets of Monarchism in rejecting the hereditary nature therein. Furthermore it bewilders me how some can pretend to be members, and then push for the causes of the libertarian right. It is, at least so far I have seen, these same individuals who question the hegemony of Your Lordship over the Party. I for one welcome Your Lordship's motions.

The only concern I have regarding the liberals amongst our ranks have to due with them. I do not feel that they will be able to have much room for growth as they seem relatively steadfast; perhaps to the extent of arrogance in belief.

I feel that such liberal or moderate stances are lukewarm, wishy-washy, and undependable.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Senator Bridger is open for questions.

Senator, having gone from the Classical Monarchist Party to the National Imperialist-Freedom Party to the Progressive Conservative Party, to what degree do you believe the Aurentine Right can cooperate against the Left and why did you decide to join the relatively moderate Progressive Conservatives rather than, say, re-joining the CMP or joining one of the more rightist parties like the Reform Party or Coalition for Freedom and Enterprise?

I believe that the Right is doomed if it cannot unite under a single banner. The divisions between us, separating classical liberals, Fascists, traditionalists, and various other strains of right-wing thought, need to be halted. The only way for us to effectively combat an increasingly radical and increasingly powerful Left is to put aside petty differences in such things as the name for our executive and how much regulation business needs, and decide that the success of us as a whole is more important than whether or not you need a permit to own a gun. I believe the future of the Aurentine right-wing is indeed dark, if we all cannot come to some sort of agreement. And, in all honesty, I do not see a defeat of the Left or a Rightist agreement in my lifetime - or even afterward.

I decided to join the Progressive-Conservatives due to profound disillusionment on my part. I was effectively bullied out of the National Imperialists, as they derided me as a Fascist and denied their own platform adhered to the most basic of Fascist tenets. And though I am fond of many Classical Monarchists, and was formerly a monarchist myself, I could not bring myself to return to a party I view as an - entirely necessary, mind you - moralistic, overly-traditional organisation which harbours many bigots and persons that seem content to drive our nation back to the Dark Ages. I did not join the CFE or Reform Party mainly due to a single factor: their miniature size. Both of the parties you mentioned are rather small, with minimal influence on the Senate and an inactive, inept membership. The message of the ProgCons - as well as their size and legislating ability - appealed to me more, with a pragmatic approach to politics that focused not on social issues, but a strong economy and secure nation.

[Unicario]

Senator von Hohenzollern would like more questions, please.

How do you feel your royal background affects your political outlook?

Absolutely not. My family has not ruled a nation in 95 years, and I was raised by two loving adoptees. I follow the doctrines of socialism, even if they disagree with my lineage.

Senator Johnson is still open for questions.

[Grand Longueville]

Ah, yes, the Reverend Father Senator d'Longueville will take any questions addressed to him as of now.

How would you respond to the Senate's nomination of a non-Christian monarch?

I feel that such a nomination would be contrary to the cultural demographics of the country. I feel that a monarch ought to be representative of the people, certainly. Naturally, I would also opine that it would have a negative influence on the theological welfare of the nation. A non-Christian might confuse the laity and furthermore might persecute the Catholic Christian populace. I would take measures to make sure this would never happen.

[Grand Longueville]

I don't believe I see one.

What do you mean? Ive retconned him to an Anglican Priest (admittedly as low as it gets)

Precisely. I feel that, while I am obligated as a Christian to provide ecumenical dialogue, as a Pastor of the Faithful and curate of souls I cannot recognize the ordination of that individual to be valid. I feel that the, albeit few, opinions expressed by the fellow are contrary and irreconcilable with Christian doctrine, Moral theology, and Sacred Tradition.

Furthermore, his expression seems drastically unorthodox.

[Old Tyrannia]

Senator Johnson is still open for questions.

Senator, as a person of Muslim as well as Christian heritage, and a CMP member, do you think that it is in Muslims' interests to support a largely Christian conservative party like the Classical Monarchists? To what degree can Islamic and Christian conservatives in Aurentina cooperate?

[Yankee Empire]

I decided to join the Progressive-Conservatives due to profound disillusionment on my part. I was effectively bullied out of the National Imperialists, as they derided me as a Fascist and denied their own platform adhered to the most basic of Fascist tenets.

Ignoring that there were also people who defended you...

[Free South Califas]

I'm also willing to answer questions.



Why do you prefer proportional representation over FPT? Also did you commit any crimes when you were living on the streets?

I much prefer proportional representation, it gives a far more accurate result in terms of what the public want in their government.
While on the street the only crime I commited was stealing scraps of food from people why they weren't looking, nothing of note really.

That is no crime when hungry and poor, good sir. It sounds like you showed phenomenal restraint in a time when most people would not have felt they owed anything to society.

Senator, as a person of Muslim as well as Christian heritage, and a CMP member, do you think that it is in Muslims' interests to support a largely Christian conservative party like the Classical Monarchists? To what degree can Islamic and Christian conservatives in Aurentina cooperate?

That is a very good question.

I have always believed that it is in the interests of the two religions to work together, both politically and on the streets. Christians and Muslims both believe in the same God, Allah is just the Arabic word for God. The only difference is in the small changes in the Qur'an compared to the Bible.

Both Muslims and Christians can believe in a monarchy and, as you know, as a percentage, there are more Islamic states with a monarchy. Aurentia is a nation of great differences and where it is positioned means that yes, there will be a stronger Christian following but it is still only a few hundred miles from Islamic nations of whom most have a monarchy. The Conservatives of the two different religions might differ in religious arguments but our party is not for the promotion of Christianity, it is for the promotion of religion itself.

The Conservatives from both religions can, and do, still agree on 95% of the issues outside of religion. Yes there might be some differences like the question of Sharia Law which in my opinion should not be a part of any Muslims life in our nation or any other but, some still want it. We can agree though that increasing Liberalisation can lead to some failures in society and yes, it might make society more equal but, it can lead to more problems.

Overall I think that Conservatives from both religions can work together and I hope that this will continue for the next few decades if not centuries to come.

I think that the Islamist government is not the best for Egypt. I think that the people are doing the right thing and most are protesting peacefully. The military would only stage a coup if they believe that it is right to preserve democracy in Egypt. I am hopeful that President Morsi will step down but I doubt he will, he seems to be driven by Islam to make the country an Islamist state which would be a sad thing to see.

Well I am part of this interesting new path in our nations history and whilst I agree with some of what is being decided, I fear that the Liberals are taking over and are pushing the Conservatives back. For example they appear to be trying to allow teenagers to become Senators.

[Phing Phong]

What is your opinion on the current Council of State talks on a new constitution?

Senator Califas,

As a member of that body, I am wholly behind the work that the Council of State is doing on drafting a new Constitution. The Council is representative of the Senate as a whole, and by extension Aurentine public opinion, and I feel we get a good balance of different opinions, which will hopefully enable us to issue a final document that pleases the vast majority of citizens.

Yours sincerely,

Senator Nuat Plueay-gai

[Malgrave]

What is your opinion on the current Council of State talks on a new constitution?

I don't think that these talks have active representation from the USLP and thus don't represent the full spectrum of politics in this nation. If permitted I would be willing to be present in the negotiations myself, although at this point I feel that the talks may have gone on for too long for the USLP to have any impact in the future constitution.

[Living Freedom Land]

What is your opinion on the current Council of State talks on a new constitution?

As a substitute member filling in for the honorable Minami Hidaka (Regnum Dominae), I can say that the Council is moving in the right direction. There are problems, such as the current debate over the age qualification for the Senate, that have bogged down discussion, but if we can get past these issues and resolve them I'm sure we will have a suitable (although by no means perfect) Constitution that will serve Aurentina well.
