Question Time

[Potus]

To ask the Prime Minister whether the surfeit of 'Senior Advisors' on the ministerial payroll is a good use of taxpayers money or an example of craven nepotism.

Mr. Speaker,

I hope the irony of the right honorable member's charges is not lost on all those in attendance here. Socialism is synonymous with governmental bloat. How tedious, asinine, and possibly deceptive of the Socialists in this body to turn a blind eye to our neighbors to the north. Each day, millions of people are forced by circumstance to awake or be born into the socialist nightmare that is Atlasia. Their rise to power in the north was paved with tawdry political parlor tricks such as frivolous charges of nepotism. Be mindful of the political ploys and deceptions of the Socialists and their Red allies. This Government keep those forces at bay and we ask the people of South America to join us putting the work of the people firmly ahead of politics.

[Potus]

Answer the question!

Mr. Speaker,

It is clear to you and to the people that elected this Government with an overwhelming mandate that the Socialist member's concerns are unfounded. This ploy, which is nothing more than the tricks and distractions against which I previously warned, is an effort by the radicals in Parliament to minimize the influence of the Social Liberals and divide our Government. The advisor positions exist to guarantee the adequate representation of both parties in Government in regards to policy produced.

[Potus]

To ask the Prime Minister if his rhetoric is appropriate for someone leading a coalition including a supposedly left-wing party - do we need a new Red Scare, Mr. PM?

Mr. Speaker,

The Social Liberals are upstanding, patriotic, freedom-loving South Americans. I assure the right honorable gentlemen that the Social Liberal would reject any inclination toward the radical revolutionaries that inhabit the far-left of South American politics. There is no Red Scare or hysteria, there is only the truth. The truth is clear: Atlasians are being forced to endure a long, socialist nightmare which was perpetrated on them by the gentleman's ideological and tactical allies. The people, through their elected Government, will keep that nightmare from coming here, to our great land.

[Potus]

I would like to ask the Prime Minister why he is a toady of the American imperialists. Explain yourself, bourgeois swine!

Mr. Speaker,

I again draw the chamber's attention to the irony of this bogus claim. The member standing before you is a communist, attempting to label the people's Government as "imperialist" and tether it to the "Americans."

This communist before us sympathizes with one of history's most evil empires. The Soviet Union, responsible for tens of millions of dead innocents, launched invasion after invasion in the name of the same revolution this man says he'd like to see brought to South America.

Beyond the crimes of the past, these vanguards of the revolution are responsible for great tragedies of the present. Each day, millions upon millions of Atlasians are forced to endure oppression where they know nothing of freedom. This is the Red crime against the present.

I reject out of hand the premise of the Member's question.

[Potus]

To ask the Prime Minister why his government has not presented an Agenda to this House despite the specific instruction of the President?

Mr. Speaker,

There is no method of governing. In order to tell the people what we will do, we must first know what we can do. Our specific policy agenda will follow a solid national foundation. Only when we knows the powers of government, enumerated by a legitimate Parliament, can we wield those powers in the national interest.

[Potus]

To ask the Prime Minister why neither he nor any other member of his government has yet to present a programme of government to this House despite being instructed to do so by the President? I imagine that it must be highly embarrassing to be faced with this question twice, but then that's what this government is: an embarrassment.

Mr. Speaker,

Allow me to highlight a very important set of contrasts.

This Government has clearly defined our goals and divided the responsibilities to meet those goals. As a result, we passed a Constitution in a week without the need for nonsense legalism. We've successfully tread the third way between an enumeration of rights and an entirely Parliamentary system.

We have rescued hostages from socialist terrorists, to an ominously unsurprising muted response from the opposition. How uncomfortable it must be for the Socialist Party's ideology to be caught in the company of narcotic peddlers, human traffickers, murderers, and terrorists.

Our vision now turns toward strengthening the foundations of our nation. The Tory-Liberal Government has a vision of a free and fair South America.

From what station do the gentlemen and his fellow socialists attack the people's government? The Socialist Party is plagued with leadership conflict, mired in inactivity, and awkwardly attempting to legitimate their party leader with a constitutional amendment before the ink is dry.

The scandal of South American politics lies not with its strong Government, but with its circus-like opposition which receives its moral guidance and governing vision from the black desolation of Atlasian socialism.

[Potus]

Mr. Speaker,

I would like to echo the points made by my Deputy Prime Minister and direct the Leader of the Opposition to the notable achievements of this Government. We successfully rescued many hostages, won a victory over FARC, secured our nation's future with a Constitution, and have brought together a fantastic team to solve the issues facing South America.

I would also like to point out that the attention of Parliament has been almost entirely consumed by dealing with the inactivity constitutional crisis caused by the former leader of the Socialist Party. I do hope the gentleman will remember the road he walked to get to Parliament and the great, undemocratic headache it caused this body and the people of our great nation.

Moving ahead, we will deal with my Foreign Minister's defense organization bill. We are eagerly anticipating the introduction of an economic standardization package and comprehensive environmental bill to be brought by my Government.

[Potus]

Mr. Speaker,

With Parliament's dissolution fast approaching, I would ask that you and the Leader of the Opposition discuss the logistics of a second Questions Without Notice session. This Government is proud of the work it has done and I look forward to the opportunity to defend our record.

Thank you.
