FEBRUARY 7, PAAOMA - HRH Emperor Nicholai has issued the following press release:
Recently, an Act was introduced in Parliament that mean we would have a preferential voting system, rather than a first past the post one, from now on. As part of this act, a Referendum would take place on whether to have a by-election in Mrs Kaspar is Awesome Island, followed by a federal election.
I now realise that this was a mistake, and as such, am officially rejecting the referendum.
Aaron, our Prime Minister, has at no point had a say in this so far, and definitely wants to remain Prime Minister. He will have this honour until at least the next election, or until he steps down.
Had this referendum passed, we would have had four elections in the space of a year, which is clearly far too many. For these reasons, this is why it will not go ahead.
This does not mean we will not have preferential voting, it will just have to wait until the next election.
