Back to business - speech at the ZRT Convention?

[D. N. Vercáriâ]

The ZRT folks invited guest speakers and apparently they are curious to read a Peculiarist rant. So who is willing to deliver a speech, and what would he say?

I'd think some sort of an explanation of our "middle way" would be in order, in the light of the assumption that Talossa needs to gain inner unity rather than an everlasting fight between monarchists and republicans.

IMHO the monarchist bit of Talossa is providing the grain of magic, miracle and wonder that is attracting people from this overly rational, scientific, well-organized 21st Century. Pure (Talossan) republicanism might be the more rational and beautiful ideology, but we who were Talossan Republicans know that it didn't sell.

Anyway we want to improve the democratic core of Talossa, when it comes to featurs like secret voting in elections, electing a Real Cosâ etc. So there are bridges to the ZRT. As there will have to be bridges to all Talossan parties, when it comes to constitutional amendments. As it stands, amendments of the OrgLaw require a lot of a societal consent, and therefor we of the Peculiarist variety will try hard to work for a consent across all political camps.

NPW, the party of the Middle Way, or something.

I think you could also comment on how Republicanism will help pave the way for a truly Peculiar nation. Realization of people power, etc.

[D. N. Vercáriâ]

Er, isn't it the Chancellor's prerogative to deliver a speech to the masses?

[Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu]

Possibly. Though you're the party leader, and I'm more akin to Press secretary. Would you like me to do it?

[D. N. Vercáriâ]

Party leader? I thought I was some kind of a secretary / moderator who is keeping track of the debates and tries to moderate them, and together we are the figureheads at the helm.

[D. N. Vercáriâ]

Btw., what about saying that the third, the middle way between monarchism and republicanism is Peculiarism? This could be a litte rhetorical firecracker that shakes up the ZRT convention, at least a little bit.

Opinions?

[Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu]

It seems basically solid.

[suorsch]

a good speech, poglavnik.

I'm down with it. Two minor niggles: at the bottom of the first page, "basical" would be better rendered as "basic." And then, in the next sentence, there's an "i" missing in "Peculiarist." I want to be a copy editor when I grow up.

[D. N. Vercáriâ]

Too late!

(well, it's never to late for growing up, whatever this might be - too late to correct the typos, though, as the rag has been published and therefor belated corrections wouldn't be a correct thing to do)
