South America Parliament Speaker Barnes to address Senate on Thursday.

[Talleyrand]

With all possible respect for Barnes, due to recent actions by some of the Mock Parliament's highest official, obviously trying to disrupt the game even more (Adam case), I shall not attend the speech.

Why is it okay for Mr. Griffin to commit vicious acts and lay claim to an office he does not hold, and cripple this whole game simply because he is terrified of facing the courts, but awful for me to have the courage to take him to task on the behalf of the silent majority of the citizenry? I am utterly puzzled.

I, for one, will definitely attend Speaker Cris's speech to the South American Parliament. I am not going to let domestic politics threaten the vital relationship between our two nations.

[Talleyrand]

Since I'm in town at the time I will be attending to show my support for Speaker Barnes even though I disagree entirely and maybe South Americans can respect our sovereignty and not kill our game, but if he says one thing that sounds like he's anti Atlasia I walk out.

Pray tell, how exactly do you intend to "walk out"? The sheer buffoonery by some individuals in this thread in astounding!!

[Talleyrand]

God this is beyond parody, let's hear what the Speaker Barnes has to say. He's been a great Speaker for the New Parliament and has been a leading force in ensuring the parliament stays strong

Are you speaking as Atlasian officeholder, South American officeholder, Atlasian citizen or South American citizen?

You know, you have so many masks I don't know which one is one.

     I imagine that permitting dual citizenship will be a point of negotiation between our nations.

I don't mind dual citizenship at all, but holding governments positions in tho games simultaneously is an invitation for conflict of interest to happen.

I am glad you decided to attend after all, Senator.

And wonderful, passionate speech, Speaker Barnes! You and Speaker Cris have created an excellent model for Atlasian-South American relations.
