The Norton Government faces it's first major hurdle since taking office: the Matthews confirmation. Currently at 8-7 against it was expected to be a close call. The RNC's previous endorsement has been lost to what many senior LRP figures refer to as 'sour grapes' over the Merry VP impeachment and every Linardist is expected to vote down the Liberal Republican lawyer.
President Norton softened up the ground by re-nominating Chief Justice Colonel who was named a proven shareholder and key member in the controversial East Titulia Company. Colonel presided over the Carmody case prosecuted by fellow company board member William D. Money, a biased and retaliatory act earning the ire and scorn from the LRP and swinging independents. This was the former LRP president's final call in deciding to quit Titulia.
Rumours are circulating like wildfire of a possible alliance rekindling between the RNC and Linardist parties out of spite against the Norton Government. Days after Norton's unexpected victory, impeached president and former RNC leader Julian published a chat between him and Linardist president William D. Money that detailed how the conservative achieved the support he needed to form a government.
Last night's chat with senior LRP members revealed no shock to the contents of the transcript. What did come out was the revelation of how Julian went out of his way to destroy his former moderate colleague [TJ Norton] and use his Linardist counterpart to back it.
LRP secretary Malinda Noble likened the political orchestration to nuclear warfare and state declaration to possess weapons of mass destruction.
"There's a reason why it was called M.A.D. and not just what it stood for. The Republicans are led by teenagers, barely out of high school trying to take on an real, accomplished politician. Each day that passes confirms our decision to do away with them as just" she said.
The Titulia Express asked the president to comment on the question of reelection and the political ramifications since the coalition split and the RNC held veep impeachment.
"I am committed to staying the course to keep politics out of it as much as I can. These are issues for the voters at the ballot box" he said.
Asking if he would officially declare his intention to seek a second term, Liberty House's current tenant answered with artful care compared to more open hints the past few days.
"My ability to maintain the confidence of the Titulian people is carried by a continuation of good will between the parties, the independent citizens - really - the entire nation. If the good will is not returned then I'll look at that come time of the election period".
"Right now I'm fully focused on tending to the business of the nation and staying true to my constitutional obligations. I have done that since my first day on the job .. in this house of the people where liberty and freedom must reign. I will continue to do that until I have lost the confidence of my fellow citizens to provide a good government that represents them - all citizens".
