A small podium with the Villore Accords logo emblazoned at its front stands in a hangar bay. In the background a looms the hull of a Federation Navy Comet. Rinai Vero approaches the podium wearing the white dress uniform of a Luminaire General, though she fidgets with its collar as if it has rarely been worn. A few decorations are displayed, most recognizably the Wings of Valor.

My fellow Citizens, thank you for your attention. I'll be brief.

Members of the Villore Accords would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to President Jacus Roden for his victory in seeking reelection. Furthermore, we would like to also thank all of the other candidates for their participation, and the voters of every district of the Federal Union for demonstrating the strength and vibrancy of our democratic way of life.

Particularly, we would like to thank Mayor Shaileen Ramnev. Your campaign, and indeed your life itself, has been an inspiration to so many within our great Federation. Your grit and determination, and your grace, show us the best example.

With the election behind us, we in the Villore Accords call for unity as we move forward. We fully support President Roden in his efforts to secure our borders and strengthen our defenses against any continued aggression by the Caldari State. Additionally, we call upon the Roden Administration to take an active role in advancing the Peace Process as advocated by Mayor Ramnev.

In light of the recent attack on Eliaron Idama and his supporters, we offer our ardent support for a full investigation. Those responsible are terrorists who's aim is to undermine the very fabric of our society, and they must be swiftly brought to justice.

Finally, our condolences to the loved ones of those lost. We honor their memory as we do all who have fallen for the ideals that make the Gallente Federation great. Let us always stand together in Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood.

So, Gallentean subhumans decided to elect this monster, who killed so many peoples on Caldari Prime and occupied half of our homeworld again?

Guess they are hard to learn. Now I am more firm in my resolution, that for gallenteans to understand their mistake their homeworld must be bombarded from the orbit and occupied for the next 200 years. Maybe that will start beating some sense into their stupid heads.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

Congratulations to President Roden. I may not support him, but the people have spoken, and I am sure he will continue to carry the Federations interests forwards as he has done in previous years.

I hope that Shaileen Ramnev continues to provide her unique insight and vigour in the political scene, and look forwards to the next election.

I for one do not congratulate President Roden for his victory, for that President Roden has been elected through highly irregular means for his first Mandate. President Roden claims to account for the values of democracy, and yet he actually violated the same democratic principles the first time he got 'elected'.

I will not stand as a federal citizen behind someone who is clearly ruled by conflicts of interests and bends federal policies as well as the very fate of our citizens, especially those from the federal rimworlds, to follow his own self serving interests. Myself being a loyal politician believing in the values of our beloved Federation, I shall respect the results and the laws that binds us together, but will certainly not acclaim the follow-ups of this masquerade.

I support mayor Shaileen Remnev struggles and hope to see her begin to care for the exact same disasters that struck all those other federal forgotten worlds, and not just her own special snowflake. I also heartfully support Mr Eliaron Idama in his unremitting fight against our criminal underworld, and wish his partner Ms. Shiikeru a quick recovery.

Finally, I still stand firmly behind Senator Celes Aguard, who kept being faithful all through her campaign, kept the flag of the rimworlds alive and still fights to make their plight recognized.

I suppose it is refreshing to hear the UltraNationalist line straight from the horse's mouth, as it were.

I suppose it is refreshing to hear ad-personam on the IGS for a change.

Anything to add, like addressing the actual point ?

You seem to have interpreted my statement as a personal attack. I don't see how, since I simply recognized that you are an UltraNationalist... a conclusion I based solely on your own statements in the past where you have described yourself as such. Was I mistaken?

My point was that we so often hear the U-Nat label thrown at people who don't wear the mantle openly as you do.

As for addressing the content of what you had to say, I think my original remarks shall suffice to clearly express my position. You disagree, which is certainly your right.

A random note, I like how both strong candidates held their major speech/rally in Arcurio, on Caldari Prime, think it's the first time Presidential candidates hold major campaigns on State (Ishukone) territory.

Perhaps it is a view of a future that could be, when the State & Gallente would be able to accept both as they are, but alas, that is merely my hope for the near-unattainable speaking, as I do understand that the hostilities & actions committed by both sides make such future very unlikely.
But knowing the current state of Caldari Prime, perhaps not an impossible task... One can only keep hoping.

You are rather quick to label people as what most people consider as despicable individuals, aren't you ? I wonder where I stated to be such an individual myself ?

Actually, you're right it doesn't. I read through it quickly and form some reason was interpreting it as "These are all straw men about U-Nats that do not accurately represent us." Now that I've read it more carefully I see what your actual intent was.

My apologies, honest misunderstanding, totally my fault.

Over 54% of the voting public did, apparently. If you mean capsuleers, even if all eligible pilots voted in opposition, this would represent the tiniest fraction of a percent of the electorate, with each capsuleer vote being pitted against millions, if not billions of baseliner votes.

So people obviously voted for Roden, but for once the voices that counted most were those who will actually be at the mercy of our government, justice system and laws, instead of we capsuleers.

I find this comforting. Even in a cluster of despotism, oppression and deprivation, not least of all perpetuated by our kind, there exists a nation of the free, where those at the mercy of their higher authorities may play some role in their selection.

Say what you will about the President, he was voted in by the people most affected by that choice, and this is exactly the way it should be.

I congratulate President Roden on his re-election.

It is a strange irony of history that within our Federal Union the right man often arises to fit the necessities of his time.

It is my firm conviction that the steady and measured tenor of his administration has brought the Federation closer to an honorable and mutually respectful peace.

President Roden's reelection, albiet under the flawed Foiritain amendment, provides some stability to these troubled times.

In light of the continuing Caldari aggression, and escalating activity from the Sleepers in normal space, I recommend that Mister Roden commit to protecting the safety and integrity of interstellar travel throughout the Federation. The Caldari must be rebuffed; and the Sleepers investigated. CONCORD has lost its way and can no longer be trusted to ensure the safety and security of interstellar trade, the Federation itself must take up its rightful place to resolving these matters.

I second this.

And for Rinai Vero, well honestly you are no different than him...

Guess what, you and your kind are slackers who always support the conflic, because you gain from the conflic, you do not care the civillian casualities..

Mayor Shaileen Remnev should be the victor of this election. I still thank her for trying.

At least we now know the real faces of people.

Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is in your heart and on your mind... And what you decide to do every day, makes you - not your race - a good man - or not.

The use of the word "we" does typically indicate that the speaker is claiming membership in the group being discussed...
