1) In the upcoming by-election to fill the place in the Chamber sadly vacated by Inxheneu Crovâ, the PVZT announces that we will endorse a candidate who wishes to promote a New Constitution for the Talossan Republic.
2) The PVZT is very critical of Dp. Valcádac'h's "National Destiny Referendum" for the following reasons:
a) "Status quo or dissolution" is an absolutely false choice to make, given that no-one's really happy with the status quo and only those who have lost faith in the Talossan Republican project will countenance the latter;
b) Such a vote will be meaningless as anyone who really doesn't care if the Republic continues to exist or not will simply not bother voting in a referendum;
c) The provision that "the national webspace and all related domains shall revert to their owners" begs the question of who those owners will be, and in fact smacks of the old Royalist smear that our intellectual property as Talossa is somehow "stolen".
We demand a third option - there was a third option in the original NDR of 1991. We in fact suggest that any NDR be a preferential ballot between three options: status quo, dissolution, and a New Constitution as endorsed by a citizen's convention.
