ILL TIMED INDEPENDENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Riannar Karmer to the Press

Riannar Karmer SHOCKS the WORLD with an announcement to the press a day after the Joralesian terrorist attack, in which he announces Labour’s plan to introduce legislation to the House of Representatives which would give way to an independence referendum for the Marislian region.

Met by public outrage, Riannar Karmer did not try and defend himself from the barrage of press questions following his announcement outside of Flarin Street. Social media erupted, criticising him for trying to ‘break Morstaybishlia apart’. Many politicians, including Opposition Leader Benjamin Wardola, capitalised on this move, with Wardola calling him ‘Karmer the MBE Harmer’ during what was described as the ‘Karmer Crisis’, as the First Secretary acting as prime minister ‘attempts to destroy the status quo’. He called for a general election, the second time already after the general election in March, where he lost fifty five seats for the Conservatives.

On the other end of the spectrum, MARIP leader Romilda von Anzitter announced her delight as her long campaign for the independence referendum was met with an answer. Her public frustration had not gone unnoticed, as during the announcement of the South Staynes referendum earlier this year she was left wondering why Marislia did not have the same treatment.

Franklin Barvata, who was in emergency surgery less than 24 hours ago, was, according to a Flarin Street spokesperson, ‘left out’ of discussion on this topic; which leaves the public wondering if Riannar Karmer has ulterior motives, or if he is a keen supporter of equality. It seems cabinet was not consulted on the matter either, as several members have expressed their intention to resign if the discussion in parliament goes ahead.

Karmer’s approval rating dropped to an impressive all time low because of his widely acclaimed insensitivity to current affairs; an MBC poll found that only twelve percent of people thinking he is doing well, down from seventy one percent immediately after the terrorist attack.
