Wednesday, 04 November, 2015 Issue #170: Qvaitican people elect their Conservative and Labor nominees
STOCKHOLM, QVAIT — With anger going around due to the terrorist takeover in Sydney, millions of Qvaiticans took to the polls to elect their nominees who will be running in the 5 January general election. After counting the votes, it seems that Congresswoman Margaret Harrison, who won the Labor primary in a landslide, will be taking on Governor Nicole Chancellor, who won in the closest primary race in Qvaitican history. 13.76 million people voted in the Conservative primary, and Governor Chancellor defeated Secretary of State Giovanni Giletti by only 140,000 votes.
While there is no surprise about the result of the Labor primary, there is shock about the Conservative primary race. Even though it was expected to be a close race, nobody expected it to be as extremely close as it turned out. The result of the 2016 Conservative primary election is just conclusive evidence that there is a schism in the United Conservative Party. In 2013, then-President Victor Cutter, who led the Republican Party, and then-President-Elect MacArthur Knight, who led the Constitutionalist Party, agreed that the merger of the two parties into the United Conservative Party would mean that the merging Republicans would have to abandon its imperialist pursuits. However, after Knight's assassination on 8 June that year, there was nothing that could stop the schism that would emerge in the UCP.
When Governor Chancellor announced her candidacy, she also said that she would revive the Qvaitican Empire, which Secretary Giletti staunchly opposed. Prior to the merger, Governor Chancellor was a Republican and Secretary Giletti was a Constitutionalist. Victor Cutter, who is now the Secretary of Intelligence and Security, was leading the Republican Party prior to the merge, and initially favored Governor Chancellor. However, when she later said much more radical rhetoric about reviving the Empire, Secretary Cutter was taken aback. Secretary Cutter, who was the sole face of the UCP after Knight's assassination, could not counter the schism, with both the imperialists and anti-imperialists wanting him to take a side. As a result, Secretary Cutter joined the Labor Party, and possibly took millions of his supporters with him.
So, what does this mean? It means that the Labor Party may have just won the general election before it has even happened. In Campaign 2016, two factors are going to contribute to a UCP failure in the general election: the schism between imperialists and anti-imperialists, and the departure of Victor Cutter, who was the face of the UCP. Right now, there are political experts in the country who said that the Labor Party was going to make significant gains in 2017, who are now saying that that is going to happen in January of 2016. By significant gains, these experts mean that the Labor Party may just win the presidential election and gain supermajorities in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Furthermore, these experts believe that the UCP has already dug its grave. The damage that has already been done will not be reverted before January.

Wednesday, 09 December, 2015 Issue #171: Margaret Harrison pulling away from Nicole Chancellor, polls say
STOCKHOLM, QVAIT — Less than a month away from the general election, polls are predicting a landslide favoring the Labor Party. The most recent Rancho poll (1–5 December) shows Labor nominee Margaret Harrison leading Conservative nominee Nicole Chancellor 55% to 37%, with the remaining portion going to minor candidates. The 18-point advantage that Harrison has over Chancellor is one that grew from what was a 7-point lead on 8 November, one month ago. Because of the Labor nominee's performance in the opinion polls, some political analysts are calling the general election before it has even begun.
On 5 January next month, one of these two nominees will become the next President-Elect and eventually the eighth President of the Second Republic. That is, if the current President makes it to 1 April, 2016. The last two President-Elects, Dmitri Buzinsky and Gabriel West, both resigned during their respective presidencies under the pressure of the Qvaitican people. Corruption in the Qvaitican government had never been a public issue until the Qvaitican War in late 2013. Since then, there have been hundreds of congressional hearings investigating corruption in the government. Even the Qvaitican Congress had been under fire when the judicial branch convicted three congressmen of corruption.
It seems that the majority of Qvaiticans care about three things right now: the economy, terrorism, and corruption. In a Qvaitican News poll, 64% of polltakers said that the Conservatives in office are to blame for the corruption. On the topics of the economy and terrorism, 78% of polltakers said that the economy has been well under Conservative rule, and a weak 42% believes the Conservative leaders are handling terrorism properly. Because of the corruption and the recent rise in terrorist attacks, the Qvaitican people are turning to the Labor Party for solutions and a Harrison victory on 5 January would prove it.

The Big Three of Stockholm receives warm welcome from Queen Williams, a look back Marshall Lynch, Winston Island correspondent Sunday, 8 May, 2016 President Margaret Harrison | Vice President Julia Burns | Secretary of State Avianna Aldridge
MONTEROS, WINSTON ISLAND — Visiting the Kingdom of Winston Island for the first time, the "Big Three" of Stockholm (President Margaret Harrison, Vice President Julia Burns, and Secretary of State Avianna Aldridge) met with Queen Katelynn Williams with Victor Cutter, the Secretary of Intelligence and Security and husband of the Queen. After their plane touched down, the Qvaitican delegation received an openhearted welcome from the Queen and Prime Minister Jonathon Cobb. Because of the rekindling of an old relationship between the two countries, let's take a look back on their intertwined histories.
1902 The Kingdoms of Qvait and Winston Island had been extremely cooperative in 1902. It was so friendly that the possibility of uniting the kingdoms was popular in both countries. Kings Michael VII of Qvait and Taylor IX of Winston Island were beloved in both kingdoms and the two were so close that they became blood brothers in 1901. In 1902, the two countries came close to unification but the death of Michael VII on 7 August halted future progress for a united kingdom to form. At David IV's coronation, the new king promised that the two kingdoms would remain separate countries, ending the possibility of a united kingdom.
1923 When the communists began the June Revolution on 2 June, 1923, against the Kingdom of Qvait, King Matthew VIII, the son of Taylor IX, decided against becoming involved and helping King David IV. On 13 June, it was proved that the Royal Qvaitican Army did not stand a chance against the guerrilla tactics of the communists. The next day, David IV pleaded for help from the Winstonions, but Matthew VIII surprised him and the Qvaitican loyalists by rejecting the plea. It was then that the friendship between Qvait and Winston Island became severed.
The Royal Winstonian Army certainly had the resources to help the Royal Qvaitican Army defeat the communists, but Matthew VIII, who was indignant that David IV would not continue their fathers' plans, saw it as an opportunity to get retribution at David IV at the expense of the Qvaitican loyalists. When the June Revolution ended on 22 June, David IV was captured and executed by firing squad. All forms of insurrection against the new communist government was punishable by death. Qvaiticans who were loyal to the Kingdom were disillusioned with the Kingdom of Winston Island and their initial dejection was followed by anger at Winston Island's inaction.
1970 Halfway through the Second Qvaitican Civil War (the June Revolution being the first), the anti-communist Qvaitican Defense Forces (QDF) were battling the communist government for control of Qvait. In the winter of 1970, King Luke II, the grandson of Matthew VIII, wrote a letter to General Walter Mason of the QDF, offering assistance to the rebellion. In the 1920's, Mason was a young soldier in the Royal Qvaitican Army who saw his brothers-in-arms killed on the battlefield in the June Revolution. After the communists won, his family was summarily executed during the Great Purge in August 1923 for supporting the Kingdom.
When Matthew VIII refused to help the Kingdom of Qvait, the young Mason was infuriated. He felt that all of the deaths of his fellow soldiers and family was easily avoidable if the Winstonians had took action. Then a 67-year-old warrior, General Mason received Luke II's letter and the memories of his fallen comrades and his family flowed back to him, as well as his rage. The general wrote a condemning letter to the King of Winston Island, telling him that Luke II's grandfather failed to help a friend in need and wrote the King to "go to hell." When the Winstonian people heard that the general wrote the letter, they were, in turn, enraged.
2004 In a new era where Qvaiticans and Winstonians both despised each other, a young guard at the Qvaitican embassy in Monteros caught the attention of a young Queen Katelynn Williams on a cool weekend in March. In the evening, the young guard was invited to the Royal Palace to meet with the Queen. The young guard introduced himself as Lieutenant Colonel Victor Cutter. After a tour of the Palace, the Queen invited Cutter to her bedroom, where they began a sexual relationship and would continue to do so in the ensuing months. However, one day Cutter stayed in her room all night, being found with her when a guard opened the door to her room. Upon hearing the news of this, Prime Minister Tommie Shane of Winston Island ordered Cutter's incarceration.

After being accused of raping the Queen, Cutter was subjected to torture by the guards of the prison he was being held in. In Qvait, presidential candidates Brendan Ira and Barry Finnegan accused the Winstonians of framing Lieutenant Colonel Cutter. However, in a Winstonian court, the Queen admitted to having consensual sex with Cutter over several months. After coming clean with their scandalous relationship, Prime Minister Shane and Qvaitican President Gyles Angus were ashamed of both Cutter and the Queen. Barely evading a dishonorable discharge, Cutter was about to be reassigned but he proposed to the Queen, who accepted the proposal. One day before his reassignment to Qvait, Cutter and the Queen held a marriage in public on 19 August. The next day, Cutter's reassignment was rescinded.
The next few months was an awkward time for the people of both countries as they had to acclimate to the new situation. However, the marriage between the two brought about reconciliation, and for the first time in eighty years, the relationship between Qvait and Winston Island was amiable. There was still a minority in both countries that maintained its hostility toward the other, but the two countries took on a new path toward peace.
2016 On the ground at Monteros International Airport, Queen Williams approached President Harrison and the two kissed each other's cheeks. The Winstonian audience looking on applauded as the four Qvaiticans, including the King-consort, made their way to the podium for the two leaders to give speeches. In the Queen's speech, she praised the President for her campaign promises to make better the relationship between the two countries. In President Harrison's speech, she credited the Queen and Secretary Cutter for bringing about spontaneous positive change for the two counties and promised that Qvait and Winston Island's relationship will experience a form of happiness that was seen before the death of King Michael VII.
Harrison, who is a descendant of King Michael VII, broke down to tears saying, "My great-great grandfather was a close friend of King Taylor IX, and their sons caused our relationship to perish." After the June Revolution and the death of King David IV, the descendants of King Michael VII preserved the stories that Kings Michael VII and Taylor IX had, and would share those stories with their children. By the time Jonathon Ambrose, the President of Qvait in the Second Republic, shared the story of Kings Michael VII and Taylor IX to his daughter Margaret, the emotions were still preserved, so it was known how close the two kings had been.
Statues of Kings Michael VII and Taylor IX
At the end of her speech, President Harrison said, "Perhaps we can finish what they started." Upon hearing this, the Winstonian audience roared with approval. Beside her, Queen Williams applauded and the two leaders embraced. If the two countries do unify as it was planned over a century ago, it would be a momentous moment in the two countries histories and would solidify their relationship forever.

Qvait and Winston Island are ever so close to unification Brianna Flagstone, senior political affairs correspondent Sunday, 29 May, 2016 ![[Image: Om8RPx35wYA.jpg]](https://pp.vk.me/c606227/v606227926/c3/Om8RPx35wYA.jpg) ![[Image: g-_UVEfiSyE.jpg]](https://pp.vk.me/c624328/v624328274/17f68/g-_UVEfiSyE.jpg) Ms. Melissa Harrison | Queen Katelynn Williams
GOVERNMENT ISLAND — On 27 May, the Third Republic of Qvait and the Kingdom of Winston Island have agreed to held separate referendums on Tuesday, 12 July, 2016. This comes after a major visit that President Margaret Harrison made to Winston Island on 8 May earlier this month. Right off the plane, the President gave a heartfelt speech about Qvaitican and Winstonian relations, their relationship in the past, and what it could be. Nearly three weeks later, the two countries had surprisingly agreed to hold separate referendums in their countries. On Sunday, the two governments released the questions that were at vote.
Question 1: Should Qvait and Winston Island merge? A simple yes or no question. If a majority of voters decide "yes," the two countries will merge on Monday, August 1. The closest that the two countries came to unification was in 1902 due, in most part, to the efforts of Kings Michael VII of Qvait and Taylor IX of Winston Island, who were blood brothers.
Question 2: What form of government should the unified country have? If the majority of voters in both countries voted "yes" to merge, the votes for Question 2 will be counted. The voters in both countries will have four options to choose from and will do so by ordering the options by preference. Here are the four options: a federal government based on the Qvaitican system, a constitutional monarchy based on the Winstonian system, a mix of the two systems, or something else. Question 2 will rely on instant-runoff voting. If an option does not receive a majority, the least preferred option will be eliminated and the votes will continue to be counted until there is a majority.
Question 3: Which head of government should be the leader of the new country? The same stipulations in Question 2 apply for Question 2: the majority of voters must have voted "yes" to merge. In Question 3, voters will decide between President Margaret Harrison, Prime Minister Jonathan Cobb, or holding an open election. As is in Question 2, Question 3 will be a preferential question and one of the options must form a majority of votes.
Question 4 (Qvait): Should the Qvaitican Royal Family be reinstated? If the majority of voters in both countries decided to form a constitutional monarchy or a mix of the two systems in Question 2, votes in Question 4 will be counted. There are only two options for Question 4: yes or no. If the majority of voters decide "yes" to Question 4, the Qvaitican Royal Family will be reinstated with the President's daughter, Melissa Harrison, leading the Royal Family. This is so because President Margaret Harrison has declined to lead a new Royal Family.
Question 4 (Winston Island): Should the Winstonian Royal Family have a part in the unified country? Question 4 on the Winston Island referendum will be different from the Question 4 on the Qvaitican referendum. Winstonians will decide whether the Winstonian Royal Family will have a part in the unified country. However, the votes in Question 4 will only be counted if the majority of voters in both countries decided to form a constitutional monarchy or a mix of the two systems in Question 2.
Voting rules on the referendum It was decided, due to the wide gap between population size in both countries, Question 1 will be decided separately. If voters in both countries agree to merge, then the next step of the referendum is opened: Question 2. If a constitutional monarchy or a mix of the two forms of government is selected in Question 2, Question 4 will be opened. If something other than a Qvaitican or Winstonian system or mix is selected, voters will be instructed to write-in the form of government that is desired. Ballot counting in Questions 2 and 3 will be counted separately and summed together, with the combined vote having authority.

Ahead of 12 July referendum, polls suggest a very pro-merger sentiment Marshall Lynch, Winston Island correspondent Sunday, 12 June, 2016 SYDNEY, QVAIT — The Third Republic of Qvait and the Kingdom of Winston Island are about thirty days away from the crucial 12 July referendum that would decide the future of both countries. In a poll of polls conducted in both countries, there is 58 percent and 61 percent approval to the merger in Qvait and Winston Island respectively. If this holds true, the two countries will merge on 1 August, 2016. However, other than the question on the merger, there will be three other equally-important questions on the ballot in both countries.
Should the people of both countries agree on 12 July that there should be a merger, both countries will decide on whether their unified government should form a federal government, constitutional monarchy, or a mix of the two forms of government. The most interesting part of this question is that it could lead to the restoration of the Qvaitican Royal Family, which was violently dissolved by the Communists in the June Revolution of 1923. There are three people who are qualified to be the head of a restored Royal Family: former President Jonathan Ambrose, President Margaret Harrison (Ambrose's eldest child), and Melissa Harrison (Margaret Harrison's eldest child). While the first two have publicly declined to lead a restored Royal Family, Melissa Harrison has said that she would accept being the head if it were to be restored.
Ms. Melissa Harrison | Queen Katelynn Williams
If the Qvaitican Royal Family was to be restored and the Winstonian Royal Family also continues to exist, both countries have agreed that the two families would share the throne by rotating control after a monarch abdicates or dies. In a gesture of goodwill, Queen Katelynn Williams of Winston Island will take the throne first, should the people of both countries decide their government should form a constitutional monarchy or a mix with a federal government.
On Referendum Day, President Margaret Harrison's and Prime Minister Jonathan Cobb's leadership will be tested with Question 3, which will decide who shall become the first leader of a unified country. At this time, the Qvaitican head of government is leading in polls conducted in the Kingdom of Winston Island against fellow head of government, Prime Minister Jonathan Cobb. In the month of May, President Harrison's approval rating has jumped to 68 percent, up from 62 percent for the month of April. While Prime Minister Cobb has a 54 percent approval rating from his own electorate, Winstonians are more energized by the Qvaitican leader, recent polls suggest. However, what if neither country agrees on this?
President Margaret Harrison | Prime Minister Jonathan Cobb
If the Qvaiticans select President Harrison and the Winstonians select Prime Minister Cobb, or vice versa, that outcome will be accepted as the equivalent of holding an open election. However, it was decided during the announcement of the referendum that, if there was an open election, the head-elect of government would fill the rest of President Harrison's term, but would end on 1 August, 2022, rather than 1 April of that year.

What is driving the feud between Nicole Chancellor and Giovanni Giletti? Samantha Weston, Conservative commentator Sunday, 24 July, 2016 Nicole Chancellor | Giovanni Giletti
SYDNEY, UNITED KINGDOM — In November 2015, Nicole Chancellor edged out a one percentage point win over Giovanni Giletti in the Conservative Party primary election to clinch the nomination and become the de facto leader of the party. Despite being on the losing end of a landslide against Margaret Harrison in the general election in January 2016, she declared her imperialist ideology the platform of the Conservative Party. However, Giletti would fight back, stating that half of the party was against her platform. Now that there will be another election for Conservative Party leadership, Giletti hopes that the electorate will help him one-up Chancellor and her ideology. The feud between the two has led to emotions running high and an ideological war within a once-united party, but how did it get to this?
Regional pride The rivalry had been intensified considering that, during the Republics of the Qvait, Chancellor and Giletti had been governors of their provinces. In Qvait, there are two provinces that are the political powerhouses: Alderney and Algonquin. There is a form of pride among the people of both provinces that lead to tension. In sport, there are blocs of Aldernian and Algonquinian teams that like to see more success than the other. This tension is more blatant in the nearby cities of Sydney (Alderney) and Darwin (Algonquin). However, the tension would be contagious and move beyond the world of sports and enter the political atmosphere. This would be seen in the 2015 Conservative presidential primary campaign between Chancellor of Algonquin and Giletti of Alderney. In July 2015, Chancellor said at a campaign rally in Augusta, Algonquin, "People in Alderney seem think that Sydney is the 'jewel' of Qvait. I beg to differ." In response to Chancellor, Giletti said at a campaign rally in Sydney, "[Chancellor] says this city isn't the nation's jewel. What does the recent jobs report in Darwin say?" At the time, Sydney had positive job growth while Darwin had slower growth. The way that the two candidates attack each other's region has fueled the tension existing in the two provinces.
MacArthur Knight
Loss of "The Great Uniter" In 2013, a conservative by the name of MacArthur Knight became President of Qvait after a landslide victory. Knight had been a politician that did not come from either Alderney or Algonquin. His home province was Ontario, outside of the regional powerhouses. Unlike Chancellor and Giletti, who were polar opposites when it came to Qvaitican intervention, Knight held a policy that sought a center between intervention and non-intervention. That year, Knight was successful in uniting the various factions inside of the Conservative Party, changing the name of the party to the "United Conservative Party." During his acceptance speech at the 2012 Conservative National Convention, Knight had said a line that would be sadly remembered, "For as long as I am alive, the Conservative Party will always be united." On the night of 8 June, 2013, President Knight would be assassinated.
Gabriel West | Dominic Frost
Loss of confidence in "the Third Way" Most conservative politicians who are labelled as "Third Way" are those like MacArthur Knight who sought ground between a pure interventionist and a pure non-interventionist policy. President Gabriel West publicly advocated for peace and diplomacy, but had privately schemed the invasion of Sporaltryus. After this conspiracy had been leaked, Qvait would be expelled from the Southern Cooperation Organization, and West and several of his subordinates would resign under immense pressure from members of their own party as well as the public. Vice President Dominic Frost was considered by many to be a future President, elected in his own right, but the Carlson leak had brought about the end of his political career. After their failures, the conservative electorate moved away from finding middle ground and either sought for more Qvaitican intervention in the world or less.
Victor Cutter
Lack of competition from the Third Way Victor Cutter was the most prominent advocate of Third Way foreign policy. He had been elected by the Qvaitican people to be the first President of the Second Republic, the Constitution of which he had a large part in drafting. When he ran for President in 2012, he did so with the support of interventionists and non-interventionists, especially before the nostalgia produced by Nicole Chancellor in the summer of 2015. However, because of the growing schism in the Conservative Party and the momentum that Chancellor was gaining against Giletti, Cutter had jumped party lines and joined the Labor Party, a party that he had once lambasted. When Cutter made the shocking announcement, the Labor Party, spearheaded by Margaret Harrison, welcomed him with open arms. In his announcement, Cutter said that "the Conservative Party [had] been hijacked by imperial extremists." On the conservative side, Chancellor had said, "Good riddance," while Giletti blamed Chancellor for "[destroying] the Party." After Cutter's party switch, several prominent conservatives joined him and others went to the Libertarian Party.
What now? On 26 July, the members of the Conservative Party will come out with the rest of the nation to determine the first Chancellor of the United Kingdom of Qvait and Winston Island, but will also separately decide the leader of their party. While it seems to be a lock for Margaret Harrison to become the leader of her Labor Party, conservatives will be divided between Nicole Chancellor and Giovanni Giletti. However, both candidates have their own "insurance policies" in case one or both of them lose the leadership race as they are seeking seats in the House of Districts. If one wins leadership of the party and the other takes a seat in the House of Districts, the latter could put to motion a vote of no confidence in the leader of the party. At that point, if a majority of members of the Conservative Party in the House of Districts vote with no confidence in the leader, a new party election could be triggered, setting the stage for a third confrontation between the two.

Opinion: Nicole Chancellor and supposed controversy Aaron Shaw, Right-wing commentator Sunday, 21 August, 2016 Nicole Chancellor
STOCKHOLM, UNITED KINGDOM — Amid an intense special election campaign against Giovanni Giletti, Nicole Chancellor of The New Right introduced herself to international politics mid-August endorsing Biggot Ed Butte in the Resentinian parliamentary elections and trading shots with Ryccian Emperor Albert I, going as far as calling the latter an "a-hole." Despite drawing condemnations from many people across the world, Chancellor's controversial comments do not or should not come as a surprise to Qvaiticans in the United Kingdom. For years, Chancellor has prided herself for being a "straight shooter" with people and has shown no fear in engaging with people who have "taken the first shot," public or private. So, why are we up in arms now?
When Nicole Chancellor first ran for Governor of Algonquin in 2012, she did so competing against incumbent political heavyweight John Alexander, who was well-known in the country, having the prospects of being a national leader of Qvait. However, in a debate that was aired throughout the province, Chancellor would expose weaknesses in several pieces of legislation that Governor Alexander signed and claimed that he took advantage of his position to advance his own businesses at the expense of regular Algonquinians, saying, "The truth of the matter is, the Governor has been treating [Algonquinians] as if [they are] jackasses." In the Conservative primary election, Chancellor would defeat the incumbent Governor with 58% of the vote and go on to become the new Governor of Algonquin after a landslide in the general election.
Just last year in 2015, Chancellor hit the airwaves in a dogfight with Giovanni Giletti over the Conservative nomination for President of Qvait. Her actions in the 2012 gubernatorial campaign seemed minuscule compared to what she had done in the 2015 presidential campaign. Chancellor used many derisive words and phrases to describe Giletti and had painted him as a "conservative who only [looked] out for his rich donors and not the everyday Qvaitican." In the primary election, Chancellor would defeat Giletti in one of the closest elections in Qvaitican history. However, she would be defeated in a landslide against Margaret Harrison in the general election.
Giovanni Giletti | Margaret Harrison
Despite a landslide defeat in the general election against Margaret Harrison, the unification of Qvait and Winston Island changed the electoral rules and made it easier for people such as Nicole Chancellor to have a voice in national politics. The House of Country, which makes the Parliament a tricameral legislature, takes the people's party preferences into account. The same electoral rules also allow for a schism of political parties in the House of Country provided that a majority of party members in the House of Districts vote to do so, such as that of the Conservative Party, which is guaranteed a loss of seats on 6 September to The New Right, a political party that will be led by Nicole Chancellor. Even though The New Right will only be allocated Conservative seats proportional to the vote on 6 September, it will put Nicole Chancellor one step closer to the Chancellorship that is currently held by Margaret Harrison of the Labor Party.
While there are many that do not appreciate Chancellor's harsh rhetoric, half of the current members of the Conservative Party do, and they plan to defect from the Conservative Party to become members of Chancellor's New Right. The most damage that these supporters can do to the Conservative Party is make Chancellor the Leader of the Opposition, a position that is currently held by Giovanni Giletti. At this time, polls indicate that Scott Walters of the Libertarian Party may become the Leader of the Opposition due to having more seats than the Conservative Party and The New Right. However, if the voters manage to secure at least eleven seats from the Conservative Party, which currently holds eighteen seats, that would make Chancellor the Co-Leader of the Opposition with Walters, and it would put her in a position of tremendous power against her rival, Giletti.
I have had the luxury of knowing Chancellor personally, and she is a down-to-earth kind of person. When asked of why she does what she does in politics, she said, "I was raised in a harsh neighborhood, living under abusive and violent conditions, and my family had often times been deceived and lied to by rich [effs] trying to benefit from my family's misfortunes. And so, one day, I decided to get into politics to change that. I didn't go to Stockholm to be a fake politician sold out by rich donors, I went there to make real change for my country, and I did it without changing who I was as a human being. I'm criticized for cussing, but everyone does it. Somehow, I'm the bad girl and my opponents are clean. Well screw that. People often criticize me for what I say, but I say what is truthful and legit. I don't shape myself to be elected, I am elected based on my original thoughts. If there are people who don't like what I say, then don't, but don't alienate the people who do like what I say."
On 9 August, Chancellor asked people at a campaign rally in Brooklyn, "Remember when our country was great? That was when we didn't take orders from an organization halfway across the world. We lost our Empire and we lost our sovereignty." One day later, she said that Margaret Harrison and Giovanni Giletti were "a pair of [whores] who sold out the Empire." Despite her occasional vulgarity, disparaging remarks of her political opponents, and the bad reputation that the media often gives her for that, Chancellor is unyielding in her rhetoric and unapologetic. At a campaign rally in Austinboro on 11 August, Chancellor said, "My opponents and the media like to chastise me for things that I say and call for my apology. Well, they're not getting one. I mean what I say and I'm not going to conform to what they want me to be. This is who I am, and when elected, this is who I'm always going to be. Take it or leave it."

Chancellor's New Right crushes Giletti's Conservatives in special election Samantha Weston, Right-wing commentator Sunday, 11 September, 2016 Nicole Chancellor | Giovanni Giletti
STOCKHOLM, UNITED KINGDOM — The sixth of September was not a happy day for Giovanni Giletti and the Conservative Party, but it was for Nicole Chancellor and The New Right. On Tuesday, The New Right crushed the Conservative Party in the special election, making Nicole Chancellor the Leader of the Opposition and the Conservative Party the smallest right-wing party in the House of Country. Before the election, Giovanni Giletti was the Leader of the Opposition and the Conservative Party held eighteen seats. After the election, the Conservative Party held seven seats. Scott Walters of the Libertarian Party and Nicole Chancellor of The New Right would have been Co-Leaders of the Opposition, but Paul Silva of the National Party chose to caucus with The New Right, making The New Right the leading party in opposition.
When the special election was first called, polls showed the Conservative Party and The New Right were in a dead heat. After Chancellor's remarks about her political opponents and Emperor Albert I, polls showed that The New Right had even more support with a widening gap between the Conservative Party and The New Right. During this time, Giletti stuck to his ideology and tried to convince the right-wing electorate that "Chancellor's kind of politics [was] dangerous." However, it would do no help as The New Right would win sixty percent of the vote and clinched enough seats to take the office of Leader of the Opposition without Scott Walters becoming Co-Leader. After receiving the results of the election, Chancellor thanked her supporters for "coming out in numbers. We have ousted Giletti here in 2016, and we will do the same to Harrison in 2022."
Now that the election is over, Nicole Chancellor has appointed ten members of The New Right to the House of Country. Drew Tyler, the lone member of the National Party in the House of Country, gave Paul Silva the green light to essentially merge the National Party with The New Right, giving the latter a twelfth seat. There was a quid pro quo between Tyler and Chancellor that allowed Silva to remain in the House of Country as an appointee of Chancellor. In this move, Silva would keep his seat in the House of Country while Silva's twelfth seat would make Chancellor the sole Leader of the Opposition.
Giletti took to the phone to speak on Central News to say that "demagoguery won the election…For the next six years, conservatism in the United Kingdom is dead, and the blame will lie solely on [Nicole] Chancellor." On United News, Chancellor responded, "Those are the words of a sore loser and a person who did not receive the support of his electorate. Conservative populism, not elitism, has won the day…Mark 3 May, 2022 on your calendars, because that is the day that conservative populism will win the chancellorship." Several other party leaders took to the media to voice their disappointment with the election, including Chancellor Margaret Harrison, the leader of the Labor Party, "It's a sad day considering that we will now have twelve demagogues in the House of Country. The Conservative Party has my sympathy."
