Dore in Hastiga: The Age of Being Unheard is Over

PRM MP Jimmy Dore, one of the more left-wing members of the Popular Republican Movement and a native Hastigan, held a "stay" campaign event where he argued the proof was already beginning to stack up that change within Falleentium is possible.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome. I just want to start out by saying that this by no means was an easy choice for me to stake my reputation among my own flesh and blood here in Hastiga on the stay campaign that's still trailing in the polls. And let's face it, in the past twenty, thirty years, what reason have we had to be optimistic? UKIP's been calling the shots something like three-quarters of that time period, even though nobody votes for them here in Hastiga. And the PLP and Jacques Durand weren't here to save us; they were just here to form do-nothing neoliberal cabinets that were no better than Sarkozy or Colbert. I know from experience that it's tempting to vote to ditch the whole Falleentium thing for good. But our recent past does not have to be our future. I'm asking you to vote to stay because I'm convinced that the age of Hastiga being unheard is over."
"For too long, gainst its will, Hastiga has had to pay in blood and Fall for an overbloated military and wars we never asked for. The people of Hastiga want healthcare and education. We want welfare for our people, not for the military-industrial complex and arms manufacturers. Time and time again we've seen our leaders in Corrintrin completely fail to represent us. And yet I look around in Falleentium's capital and I see change. I see the first reasonably left-wing cabinet in the modern history of this country. I see a historic push for peace and cooperation between Falleentium and Vanossium. I see a government programme that promises a national healthcare system, reductions in the military, and has already delivered a multi-billion Fall education investment package. The Socialist Party - founded right here in Hastiga as a rejection of both the dominant right-wing and the PLP fake left - has earned the Chancellery. In the wake of the 575 Federal Elections, all three political parties that campaigned on lowering the minimum wage abandoned that policy. And finally, after decades, the government is planning to honor your vote to leave or stay, breaking the deafening silence of recent governments towards Hastigan independence. This isn't all happening for no reason. YOU did that. And if you still want to leave, that's your choice. But I'm not content anymore to believe that change can't happen in Falleentium. Not only can it happen, but it is happening as we speak. We're winning this war of ideas for a better Falleentium - let's finish the job. Please, vote stay."
