Nash: Referendum Results are a Triumphant Display of Self-Determination

Yttinnis Herald, YTTINNIS — Truman Nash, Parliamentary Leader of the Federal Liberal Party, told reporters that he was celebrating the results of the referendum in Hastiga and Veldunium, stating that "democracy has had a good night". Nash stated that as Home Secretary, he hopes to have a prominent "seat at the table" as the federal government begins negotiations with Veldunium and Hastiga regarding their withdrawal from the Empire. "It was truly a triumphant display of self-determination and the will of the people being heard all the way to Corrintrin". 
When asked whether Nash worried that the party's support for the referenda would hurt them in the polls, he responded saying "I think that people recognize that this is a party for democracy. We support the right of the people to chart their own course, from the bottom-up. We welcome more of this grassroots activism for all causes, not just self-determination". Nash stated that the FLP would push for more ballot initiatives to pass laws.
Of negotiations, Nash said it would be "too soon to speculate about any specifics, but I look forward to the process ahead".
