Establishing Nation
Forum of Horace
Talemaniki
"In the city built on power we will show the empire what true power can achieve when it truely represents the people. Together we will change this nation one city at a time. Authority is vested in the people of a nation not in some false semi-divine figure in some lofty palace. We will show Blachernae that we will not be subjected to a tryant's oppression. We will revive the ancient Senate and restore the power to the people. We will introduce sweeping reforms to make all equall. We will end this nation built on good ol' boys tradition. If we stand together we can change our world!"
The crowd erupted into cheers. The ancient forum, built by Horace the Great the last sole Tiburian Empire and the first Talemantine Emperor, was filled with supporters numbering over a thousand. Many were waving red flags with gold Horacian Signets. Then the cheers broke into a chant. Ruberto! Ruberto!
Ruberto was the man on the dais behind the microphone. Behind him was a large banner with the words, 'Ruberto Morbidelli for Mayor'. Morbidelli, was a slightly short man in his mid sixties. A thinning head of black hair was offset by a pair of vivid blue eyes set in a face full of aged wrinkles and creases. With the sleeves of his white shirt rolled up his forearms, he raised his fist up in victory cracking that million dollar smile sending the crown in frenzyied cheers.
Ringing the forum were members of the Imperial Metropolitan Police Department in uniform waiting for the orders to disperse the crowd. This party rally was Morbidelli's voctory over them and the emperor. Due to foreign pressure from both Antioch and Rijeka the political rally was approved. Dispite the setback for the Socialists which Morbidelli led, from the snub to get on the ballet by the Electorial Commission, the socialist had found a backdoor into the race. Found in a law passed by the Senate the last time it actually met to pass laws, allowed any citizen to write in a candidate for election. This meant the socialists still had a shot at the Mayor's seat though even moreso a long shot campaign.
So unless the emperor convened the Senate to overturn the law to close the loophole, Ruberto would have to use his oppertunity to the fullest.
