To follow up with my previous query, I have a number of other questions.

I’ve seen ministers want fiefdoms and I’ve seen Cabinets keep so many secrets to their own ultimate detriment. Our Cabinet must encourage debate and dissent, every minister must have a vote, and at the end of the day the will of the majority should hold.

The statement bolded in the above quote interests me. Are you saying that current Cabinet Ministers have operated in such a way?

I assume this was at the behest of the Minister of Foreign Affairs?

Antagonist regions like Europeia and Balder are signatories of WALL, which harms our interests in the World Assembly. If elected, I would work towards moving forward with cooperation and coordination, and hopefully create an organization that can equal or best WALL’s power.

I share Ryccia's interest in knowing what you feel about WALL given TNP's involvement in the intiative.

If anything, I don't believe it is conducive — to think of such matters as purely black and white. Given our ally's participation in WALL, we should aim not to reduce their influence with a direct challenge to their authority but rather, an expansion of our own through partnerships with regions who would otherwise play no part in the WA and yet whose influence would benefit our own.
