30 May 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. At 1:30 pm local time, a massive truck bomb exploded in the Riadistani capital city of Riadi. The blast occurred outside of the headquarters of the Riadistani Liberal Socialist Party. So far 42 people are confirmed to have been killed. Shortly after the attack, Yusuf al-Thuri, the leader of the Riadistani Communist Party, claimed responsibility for the attack. In response to the attack, King Jimmy strongly condemned the bombing, offered his deepest condolences, and urged all Kumanians in Riadistan to return back to Kumania for their safety. This attack has only added more fuel to the growing flame of paranoia against communists that is sweeping the democratic world. An anti-communist rally has already been announced to happen tomorrow in Kumania City in wake of the attacks. In addition, a massive crowd has gathered outside the Riadistani Embassy in Toronto to mourn this horrific tragedy and show support for the Riadistani people. Minister of Defense Haley DeFronz announced that her ministry would still not investigate Kevin Bluecheese and the Kumanian Communist Party for any potential credible threats to the security of the nation. This has not prevented, however, many in the Royal Parliament, especially from the right, from loudly crying for preemptive prosecution of Kevin Bluecheese and all high ranking Communist Party officials. Kevin Bluecheese and the Communist Party have not commented on the recent events. Meanwhile in Oleiwin, there has been a loud burst of protest against the nation's involvement in the Arab conflict. The Oleiwinese government has responded to this nonsupport by defending its actions and basically saying it's a humanitarian mission. However, public opinion within Oleiwin still seems to be mostly against involvement and massive protests are currently ongoing in Oleiwinfall. And finally, as Kumania prepares to send off its first batch of colonists to its lunar colony of Pedroia, the Emiratians have launched another shuttle for Mars named YU-2. This mission is a collaboration between the Emiratians and Riadistanis as the shuttle was built in Riadistan, is named after the Riadistani President Yuhanna Riadi, and 3 Riadistani citizens make up part of the crew. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

31 May 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. The Riadistani President Yuhanna Riadi thanked King Jimmy for being the only leader so far to condemn the attack in the Riadistani capital city of Riadi yesterday. In light of the bombing in Riadi, the Riadistani government has reversed its position of neutrality in the PLR conflict and offered military support to the Caliphate. This comes as the Madani communists have taken control of the entire eastern border of PLR and Roman Arabs in Cyrenica have declared their own independent state. In response to the declaration of independence by the Roman Arabs, who are supported by the Roman government, the Madani communists have declared war on the Romans and vowed to basically commit mass genocide on all Romans. In addition to these threats against the Roman people, the Madani communists have also declared that once they take control of PLR, they will go after Oleiwin. This continued escalation of tension has led King Jimmy to position several Kumanian naval fleets in the Red Sea. In addition, Speaker of Parliament Paulina Sands has flown back to Kumania City and stated that she is debating whether she should call for a special session of Parliament to deal with the recent events in PLR and Riadistan. The Kolechian President has declared that Kolechia is neutral and has cried out for peace. However, they have seemingly threatened to use force if the sovereignty of Aghrabia is violated. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

1 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. The first settlers of the Kumanian lunar colony of Pedroia embarked today. The RKSFS Frederick and RKSFS Saguenay transported the colonists to their new home on the lunar north pole. Massive celebrations were held across Kumania today to honor this significant advancement and achievement for both science and Kumania. However, details still have not been released on the future plans for Kumanian extraterrestrial exploration and colonization. Arab Caliph Azman gave a speech today in which he dismissed the conclusion that his regime was about to collapse, announced great reforms for his government, and basically declared war on the Romans. A massive offensive against the Madani communists was launched immediately after. The government of Azman also began military operations against the Roman-Arabs in northern Cyrenica to crush the self-proclaimed state declared by the residents of the area. In response to another day going by with war plaguing the Middle East, King Jimmy expressed great sorrow and cried for immediate peace. Meanwhile, the leaders of Parliament returned to Kumania City today after Speaker Paulina Sands called for them to return. An anti-communist protest was cancelled today after it was postponed yesterday in light of the recent return of strength from the Azman government. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

2 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. The Romans have declared a n0-fly zone over Northern Cyrenica while also accepting an offer for peace talks from Azman's government. This has led to Speaker of Parliament Paulina Sands to call for a special session of Parliament. All Members of Parliament are reported to be back in Kumania City now. The special session will begin tomorrow at noon. The next session of Parliament was scheduled to begin 15 June following the Kumanian Presidency Amendment Referendum. However, this special session may possibly roll into the next official session. It is currently unknown if topics other than the PLR conflict will be discussed during this special session. Riadistani President Yuhanna Riadi was questioned about Riadistan's actions in the PLR conflict. When asked about why Riadistan was supporting Azman's government, Riadi responded by basically saying that defeated the Madani communists could help prevent a communist revolution in Riadistan. Riadi also basically stated that Riadistan would not recognize an independent state of Northern Cyrenica. Riadi noted that the only acceptable options for the situation in Northern Cyrenica would be for the self-declared independent state to be annexed by the SSR or for it to rejoin the rest of PLR. This statement has angered several in the Roman-Kumanian community, who strongly feel that Northern Cyrenica should be an independent state. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

3 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. The special session of Parliament began today with nothing to really report on. The press was closed out of the Main Hall during the session by order of Speaker Paulina Sands who declared the session to be a closed session. The session will continue tomorrow. Three rockets blew up over northern Uchub today. The Uchibian government has not commented on the incident. A recent poll in Riadistan has found the majority of people want a snap Congressional election as soon as possible. This has been declined by the Riadistani Speaker of the House Yasser Ajam, who said, "We can't just break the established rules because of a tiny shift in overall political leanings. If we have Congressional elections too often, legislation will never get passed." This statement has been mocked by many here in Kumania who note that a lot has been done in the Royal Parliament over the past couple years even with the frequent elections. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

4 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Today was the second day of a special session of Parliament and once again nothing has been reported to be accomplished. The session will continue once again tomorrow. No one who has been inside the closed session has spilled any information to the media on what's been going on during the closed session so far. The Arcadians revealed that the Synths have not gone extinct today as they deployed many Synths into the battlefield in PLR in response to a defeat against the Madani communists. This has alarmed many Kumanians in Kenora who held a demonstration shortly after the revelation demanding an end to the Synths. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

5 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Yet again a full day has gone by and there hasn't been anything reported from those inside the Main Chamber during this special session of Parliament. This has led to speculation among the press about what the 275 MPs could be potentially debating about. We are joined now by senior elections expert Dr. Frank Burlington. SB: Dr. Burlington, welcome back. FB: Hello Sally. SB: So, you're one of the journalists I just mentioned that's been speculating. What do you think is going on? FB: Well obviously the main topic is PLR. I imagine the Communists being in favor of intervention on the side of the Madani communists, especially now in the wake of a massive offensive by Azman's government. The Conservatives support intervention no matter what. So do the Imperialists. Basically the Imperialists and Conservatives are on the same page. However, they're not sure whether to support Azman or the Madanis. The Imperialists would support the communists because they would overthrow Azman's regime with assistance of the Kumanians and thus our support would be deemed as Kumanian superiority to them. However, they'd also support Azman because his regime is far-right like them and maybe they wanna see far-right politics become predominant in the world. A victory by Azman would almost certainly legitimize Azman's regime and his political motives and give him and his PLR an image of strength via his political views and himself. Kumanian nationalists would cringe at the thought of the Arabs feeling high and mighty but they also want their politics to become more popular throughout the world. And being allied with communists is a whack idea to them. So it's kinda like they have to pick their poison y'know. SB: Interesting interesting. How about the Liberals and Libertarian Socialists? FB: Well the Libertarian Socialists probably feel like any decision they make right now could affect the outcome of the referendum. They're just barely clinging onto power. The LSP establishment is extremely paranoid these days. They won't admit it but c'mon it's pretty obvious. Speaker Sands only called a special session because she knows there's many Kumanians who see the events in PLR and want an official response from their lawmakers regarding the situation no matter what that response is. This move was one to show that the Libertarian Socialist Party, the party of the establishment, of King Jimmy unofficially, is still strong. There's whispers of replacing the LSP with a different party for progressives. Basically a rebirth of organized politics for progressives who feel like the Libertarian Socialist Party has become a weak embarrassment. SB: Y'know, I find it odd how these days we in the media only mention a potential implosion happening with the Libertarian Socialist Party, but we ignore the Conservative Party who lost over a third of their party membership mostly to the Imperialist Party. FB: The Conservatives aren't in control. They're irrelevant to Kumanian politics. That's why we don't mention them. The Libertarian Socialist Party is the Kumanian government. That's why we pay attention so much to them. If the Conservatives had any political influence, then they'd get attention. But they don't. They killed themselves in their attempt to kill the Libertarian Socialist Party last year when they passed that stupid bill to end all government subsidies and killed our economy. Kumanians are not at all slightly more to the right politically. The Liberal Party only got voters because it's the anti-establishment thing to do. Those who breathe anti-establishment chose the Liberals because they're the sanest people. Most Kumanians aren't racist nationalist bastards so they won't join the Imperialists. And they're not bloodthirsty vengeful maniacs so they won't join the Communists. So that leaves only the Liberals as the only anti-establishment party. And that's where those anti-establishment people have gone. Granted the actual Liberal politicians are moderate centrists. But their supporters are fairly leftist. Some are former Conservatives who felt like being anti-establishment but horrified by the Imperialists. But the Liberals are almost as left as the Libertarian Socialist Party when we look at their supporters. SB: So any prediction then on the outcome of the referendum? FB: It will be extremely extremely close. That's all I can say. That and it's going to be a long summer for the Libertarian Socialist Party. SB: Always a pleasure Frank. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

6 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. With the special session of Parliament entering its fourth day, the Members of Parliament voted today to give authority over any and all actions by the Kumanian government concerning the PLR situation to King Jimmy. Speaker Paulina Sands noted, "We've spent hours upon hours inside arguing and not coming up with any idea of what to do. So we finally just decided to let King Jimmy be the one to make any and all decisions regarding the situation in PLR. He doesn't have to argue with 274 other people all day long to make this decision. So this move is basically a preemptive rubber stamp on anything he will do concerning the situation in PLR. We of course hope to be informed before he makes any moves, but we trust that he will make the right decision when the time must come to make a decision. However, we hope that he will not have to make any decision and that the conflict in PLR will cease as soon as possible and that the Arab people will be able to live in a country that is stable with democracy and liberty running through their veins." With the closing of this special session, the Royal Parliament is not scheduled to reconvene until next Wednesday the 15th. This move has been seen by some as unprecedented and potentially risky. However, some see it as a simple political move leading up to Saturday's referendum. To discuss this, we are joined by my colleague Tommy Uhara. SB: Tommy, you and McKenzie are gunna have another long day Saturday covering this referendum. Are you excited? TU: I must say, it's always quite lovely to have these elections. If the referendum passes, I'd expect the presidential election later this year. So that'll be four major elections over these past two years. The Kumanian people are feeling extremely democratic these days. SB: Indeed. So what do you think of this move by the Royal Parliament and Speaker Sands' remarks? TU: Y'know, it does seem legit that it could be purely political. Well I mean, this entire special session was politically charged to begin with. They don't really care about dealing with PLR. It's obvious since they've given their legislative authority concerning a response to the PLR situation to King Jimmy. The Libertarian Socialists are trying to show that they are strong and that they stand with King Jimmy. They're not publicly saying it, but they want this referendum defeated. And they want it defeated miserably. This move and that whole thing that Speaker Sands said about King Jimmy being the best person to make a decision for this is obviously to show that the Libertarian Socialist establishment stands with the status quo with King Jimmy no matter what and they're hoping their supporters will follow suit. They are panicking. You know about those whispers about creating a new party to replace the Libertarian Socialist Party? Those might be legitimate. Imagine waking up Sunday morning and reading that the voters in Ontario and Saguenay have voted in favor of the amendment and then when the amendment is voted on it's defeated. That will be the death of the Libertarian Socialist Party. Their supporters will revolt and form a new party. I don't think the Libertarian Socialist MPs from Ontario will vote in favor of the amendment even if Ontario votes yes. I just don't see it happening. SB: Well certainly the Libertarian Socialist establishment is aware of this risk right? TU: Of course! They're banking on the overall nationwide vote count being a majority against. They're banking on blowout defeats for the referendum in Erie and the eastern provinces. SB: That's interesting how we tend to ignore that it's possible for there to be eight provinces consisting of 184 combined seats in Parliament that could have a majority of voters voice support for the referendum but the overall majority of Kumanians nationwide could be against the amendment. TU: Indeed. SB: Anything else you'd like to add? TU: Nah I think I've said all I need to say. SB: Well Tommy it's a pleasure to have you on here. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

7 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Rumors have circulated that many MPs will rely on the national tally of this Saturday's referendum vote instead of the tally in their respective provinces. This has led to outcry among many progressives who are beginning to feel like the Libertarian Socialist Members of Parliament may be trying to find an excuse to potentially vote no when the Kumanian Presidency Amendment is voted on in the Royal Parliament. These rumors began after the Libertarian Socialist MPs held a private conference today in Kumania City. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos.

8 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. While we in Kumania have been paying great attention to the potential political outcomes of this Saturday's referendum, there has been massive uproar lately in Newlend after 12 missiles were allegedly stolen by Riadistani communists. This happening as election season is beginning in Newlend, with so far four candidates having declared their candidacy to replace the outgoing Prime Minister Haider Al-Mayyah. One of the candidates, a businessman named Hassan Al-Jaber, has strongly condemned the theft of the missiles and promised to build a wall on the border between Riadistan and Newlend. This of course has been mocked by many in the Kumanian media, who see such an idea to be extremely pie-in-the-sky. However, the first poll conducted on the Emiratian voters has shown Mr. Al-Jaber to be holding an early lead. Another couple poll came out today showing Kumanian voters are evenly split regarding their support for this Saturday's referendum. The first poll conducted nationally consisting of 10,000 voters showed that support was evenly split with exactly 50% of the polled showing support for the Kumanian Presidency Amendment and the other 50% being against the amendment. The second poll consisting of only 500 voters in Ontario also reflected the even split with 250 for and 250 against. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

9 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. In PLR, the offensive by Azman's government has seen tremendous success very quickly. It was reported today that the Madani communists were pushed back to Alexandria, which is expected to fall extremely soon. Azman has pretty much declared victory by thanking foreign allies for their assistance among other things. In response to this news, King Jimmy ordered 90% of the Kumanian forces sent to the Red Sea to leave the area since their presence is no longer required. He also relinquished the power granted to him by the Royal Parliament to make extremely important decisions regarding the PLR conflict as the conflict is seemingly coming to an end. Meanwhile, another communist demonstration has been occurring all day today in the Riadistani capital of Riadi and a couple other cities. The main demonstration in Riadi, however, is still much smaller than the one that occurred a couple weeks ago. Still, the Riadistani government has taken proper security measures to make sure the protests don't escalate into anything else. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

10 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Leader of the Communist Party Kevin Bluecheese wrote an open letter asking for funding for his party from abroad to "help Kumania prosper". As all political parties are publicly funded, it would be nearly impossible for foreign donors to fund the Kumanian Communist Party since outside funding is explicitly prohibited, and violators lose their public funding which also means they lose their credibility and ability to fully function since political parties may only be funded publicly in order to be on any ballot. Just to clarify, it's easy for anyone to register a political party. But violators of the rules will be blacklisted. However, the government continues to ignore the shenanigans Bluecheese is doing these days as they seemingly don't take him or his rhetoric seriously. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

11 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. The people of Kumania went to the polls today and voiced their opinions regarding the Kumanian Presidency Amendment. A majority of voters in Newfoundland, Saguenay, Quebec, Ontario, Hudson, Huron, Superior, and Kenora voiced support for the amendment while voters in Miquelon, Anticosti, Nova Scotia, Labradour, Princess Gloria Island, New Brunswick, and Erie were against the amendment. A 2/3 majority has been projected to allow the amendment to pass the Royal Parliament if the Libertarian Socialist MPs from the provinces that had a majority of their citizens support the amendment stay true in their pledge to vote according to the vote of their home province. However, an extremely slight majority of Kumanians voiced an opinion of being against the amendment by a margin of less than 10 votes. With a majority of support not being reached in the national level, the speculation of the LSP MPs backing down on their pledges has grown exponentially. The margin was also narrow in Ontario where a few votes also determined the victor in the province. The actual swing vote came from Toronto, whose citizens narrowly voiced support for the amendment, surprising pretty much everyone. On a national level, the majority support was not accomplished thanks to large margins of victory for those against the amendment. For example, absolutely no votes were recorded in support of the amendment in both Halifax County and Dartmouth County. The margin of victory was over 80 points all across the eastern provinces except Newfoundland, with the least support for the Kumanian Presidency Amendment coming from New Brunswick. Parliament is set to reconvene next week to vote on the Kumanian Presidency Amendment. It becomes even more unclear everyday whether the amendment will actually pass, especially now with the uncertainty regarding the LSP MPs. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

12 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. The votes for yesterday's referendum were officially finalized today. Starting on the provincial level, the vote tally goes as follows: Newfoundland (2,200,045 people): 1,504,298 YES to 695,747 NO (68.38% to 31.62%) Miquelon (1,205,527 people): 112,972 YES to 1,092,555 NO (9.37% to 90.63%) Labradour (1,430,801 people): 568,565 YES to 862,236 NO (39.74% to 60.26%) Princess Gloria Island (787,081 people) 78,252 YES to 708,829 NO (9.94% to 90.06%) Nova Scotia (4,403,229 people): 340,669 YES to 4,062,559 NO (7.74% to 92.26%) Anticosti (598,987 people): 43,572 YES to 555,415 NO (7.27% to 92.73%) New Brunswick (2,810,424 people): 193,352 YES to 2,617,072 NO (6.88% to 93.12%) Saguenay (1,827,818 people): 957,293 YES to 870,525 NO (52.37% to 47.63%) Quebec (8,787,592 people): 7,025,721 YES to 1,761,871 NO (79.95% to 20.05%) Ontario (10,221,459 people): 5,110,752 YES to 5,110,707 NO (50.0002% to 49.9998%) Erie (7,208,134 people): 2,634,102 YES to 4,574,032 NO (36.54% to 63.46%) Huron (2,410,810) people): 1,426,933 YES to 983,877 NO (59.19% to 40.81%) Hudson (2,224,944 people): 1,722,255 YES to 502,689 NO (77.41% to 22.59%) Superior (6,193,462 people): 3,595,639 YES to 2,597,823 NO (58.06% to 41.94%) Kenora (2,787,073 people): 2,234,314 YES to 552,759 NO (80.17% to 19.83%) And then nationwide, with there being a total of 55,097,385 people, the total YES vote was 27,548,689 while the total NO vote was 27,548,696. So if this was a national referendum instead of 15 individual provincial referendums, the motion would've been defeated by an extremely narrow margin of 49.999994% to 50.000006%, or SEVEN votes. It is expected to have more in depth results in how voters of each party voted released in the coming days or weeks. Such data could be useful for supporters of the Kumanian Presidency Amendment to convince the Libertarian Socialist Party MPs to vote in favor of the amendment if the majority of their supporters showed support for the amendment. However, early analysis has shown that it is extremely unlikely that a majority of Libertarian Socialist voters support the amendment. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

13 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Speaker of Parliament Paulina Sands announced today that the start of the next session of the Royal Parliament would not begin until more voter data has been released, including data on how voters in each party voted. This practically confirms that the Libertarian Socialist Party is really trying to find an excellent excuse to vote against the Kumanian Presidency Amendment when the amendment is due to be voted on in the Royal Parliament. A 2/3 majority is needed for the amendment to pass Parliament and be sent to the provincial governments in the next level of ratification. If the Conservative and Libertarian Socialist MPs stay true to their pledge to vote according to how their constituents voted, a 2/3 majority would barely be reached. However, the recent actions by the LSP leadership has put into question whether or not that pledge will be broken. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

14 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Critical voter data was released today showing how the referendum vote was broken down among party lines. As expected, 100% (4,310,666) of the Communists voted no while 100% (2,425,307) of the Imperialists voted yes. Surprisingly, there were some Liberals who voted no. The national total of Liberals who voted no was 3% compared to 97% that voted yes (8,059,441 yes to 224,980 no). However, all of these Liberals were from Nova Scotia, and a majority of the Liberals there still voted yes. Conservatives were evenly split with exactly half voting yes while the other half voted no (6,035,488 yes to 6,035,488 no). Meanwhile Libertarian Socialists were split 40-60 (11,028453 yes to 16,977,562 no) with roughly 40% voting yes and 60% voting no. The only provinces where the majority of Libertarian Socialists voted yes were Quebec and Ontario. Conservative supporters of the Kumanian Presidency Amendment were present more in the western provinces, where the majority of Conservatives from Quebec, Ontario, Erie, Huron, Hudson, Superior, and Kenora voted yes. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

15 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Yesterday, critical voter data was released detailing how the overall vote in this past weekend's referendum was broken down along party lines. Joining me now to discuss this data is Leader of the Libertarian Socialist Party and Speaker of Parliament Paulina Sands. SB: Madame Speaker, welcome back. PS: Hello. SB: So, the moment your party has been waiting for finally came yesterday when it was revealed that a good majority of your voters voted no in the referendum. However, there's still a sizable chunk that voted yes. And in your home province of Ontario, there actually was a majority of your supporters who voted yes. So what are your thoughts? PS: Well Sally, I'm glad we have this data. The thing is, it's only made it more difficult for me to decide how to vote. So first of all you have a slight majority of Kumanians rejecting the idea of a presidency. Indeed it was barely a majority and the difference between the no and yes votes was seven votes. However, democracy is of the people, the majority of people to be exact. This is not a nation where the minority rules. That is not democracy. But it is difficult to ignore the fact that the national tally could've been swung the other way if only four people who voted no had voted yes. The difference was seven so of course four votes taken from the no vote and given to the yes vote would've meant that the majority of Kumanians supported the idea...but barely. SB: Ah yes that is true. PS: But enough of that. In Ontario, my home province, barely the majority of my constituents showed support for the Kumanian Presidency Amendment. The thing is, it should be clarified that I do not represent all 10.2 million Ontarians. We of course had the general election to determine how government should be proportioned and then supporters of each party cast their votes for the party candidates to represent them in government. And my party won like 82% of the vote in Ontario so I do represent a great chunk of the people of Ontario. And there was a greater proportion of Libertarian Socialist voters in Ontario who supported the amendment than Ontarians as a whole. So one would think that that'd be good enough reason to have me vote yes right? SB: Yeah perhaps. PS: Wrong. I am also the Leader of the Libertarian Socialist Party which is a political party that operates nationwide. And nationally, the majority of Libertarian Socialist voters voted no. Like the difference was roughly five million votes. So as the leader of my party, I also have to take into consideration what nationally the party supporters want. Sure there was almost 40% that voted yes, but that is not 50% plus one to give a majority. I feel like there's many who feel like if you win Quebec and Ontario that you win Kumania. But that is simply not the truth. Ontario and Quebec's Libertarian Socialists voted yes, but it wasn't enough. As a matter of fact, over two-thirds of the Libertarian Socialist supporters of the amendment came from Quebec or Ontario. Out of like 11 million nationally, there was like a little over four million from Ontario and Quebec each. So it is a difficult decision that as one of the 275 lawmakers and the leader of a major political party that I have to make. SB: What does your heart want? Ignoring how the other 55 million Kumanians voted, what do you want? How did you personally vote in the referendum? PS: Ah Sally I'd rather not disclose that. My party has tried to remain neutral on this amendment for a long time. I don't want to bring an end to that. SB: Why is that? PS: Well I'm the Speaker of Parliament. And I'm the Leader of the Libertarian Socialist Party, the party which won a majority of votes in the most recent election therefore winning the most seats in Parliament which also guaranteed that I'd become Speaker of Parliament. I would not be the Leader of the Libertarian Socialist Party if my fellow party members did not have any respect for me or look up to me or consider me their leader their mentor their inspiration or whatever. If I endorse something, odds are the other 139 Libertarian Socialist MPs will support it because I am their leader and they have great respect for my judgement which is why they made me their leader. SB: Well that's a good thing though. You can get anything you want passed pretty much. PS: Thing is, I don't want to abuse that power. I mean, yeah I guess I could say whatever I want and it'd happen because united we can run the government ourselves for the most party. But I just don't desire that. I want people to see the Libertarian Socialist Party as a party that accepts everyone and doesn't shut the door on anyone. It'd be super easy to tell the Communists, Liberals, Conservatives, and Imperialists in Parliament to fuck off and still be able to get stuff done in Parliament if us 140 LSP MPs are united. But I don't envision my party being a party of rude asswipes y'know. That's the job of Kevin Bluecheese and Mark Swanson. They can have their parties be the ones for rude asswipes. But here in the Libertarian Socialist Party, we won't do that. SB: You just basically called out Kevin Bluecheese and Mark Swanson. Doesn't that go against what you just said? PS: No. They're just two people. Like obviously you can't get along with everyone. But I wanna get along with most people though. That's not what Kevin and Mark do. Like damn Kevin with all of his rhetoric of a revolution, that's just whack y'know. He needs to chill because that is extremely unprofessional of what he's doing. It's quite tragic really how the majority of Kumanians in Miquelon bought into the fear that Bluecheese had preached concerning Swanson and the Imperialists. Here's the thing, if Mark Swanson didn't come along and have his silly party get any attention, the Communists would still be extremely irrelevant and they wouldn't have won anything more than they already had. But alas every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You have someone on the far right who is a maniac, you look to put balance to that insanity by turning to someone on the far right who then has become insane as well. So in the end we've gotten even more insanity. I'm at least grateful that Gerald Black is a good respectful guy. We may disagree on a lot of issues, but he's still a good guy who is deserving of all respect. If his political views weren't so different, I'd legitimately invite him to join the Libertarian Socialist Party and maybe even lobby for him to become our leader because he is a good guy and even though we disagree on politics we're lucky to have a good person like him in Parliament. SB: Thank you for joining us tonight Madame Speaker. PS: Thank you for having me. SB: Always a pleasure. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

16 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Last night, Speaker of Parliament Paulina Sands came on the show to discuss several things including the results of Saturday's referendum. Joining me now to give his first interview since the referendum is Leader of the Liberal Party, Gerald Black. SB. Mr. Black, welcome back. GB: Always a pleasure. SB: So I'll bet that you're not satisfied with the results of Saturday. GB: Kinda. But then again, we won the provinces that we needed to win. If the Conservatives or Libertarian Socialists back out on their pledge, well that's an easy way to ruin a political career. They made a promise among themselves and with their constituents from their respective home provinces to vote according to the result within their province. It is time for them to see past party lines and vote how the people they represent voted. SB: Yeah but last night Speaker Sands stated that in the end, you just represent party members from your home province. GB: That is a truth. But it doesn't need to be that way. Sure only a small majority of the people in Newfoundland voted for my party, but I work to represent all 2,200,045 Newfoundlanders, not just the 1.2 million that voted Liberal in the past election. I have much respect for Speaker Sands, I really do. But I find it silly how she can say she wants her party to be inclusive, but then makes remarks that she only represents the 80% of Ontarians that voted Libertarian Socialist. SB: Yeah but she also pointed out how the majority of Kumanians rejected your amendment. GB: By only seven votes. Out of over 55 million people. That's a tie in my books. But it is important for the Libertarian Socialists and Conservatives to not back down on their pledge. I mean, if they really disliked my amendment, they should've voiced opposition since the beginning. I'm not a fan of tricks. I applaud the Communists for actually voicing opposition to my amendment, even though their reasoning is quite difficult to comprehend. But anyways I expect the vote to be 184 yes and 91 no, as it should be. If it is not, well then those who backed out on their pledges have just ended their political career. The Kumanian people do not like liars. The Kumanian people do not like politicians who serve themselves and their own interests instead of the people they're supposed to represent. SB: That's the biggest problem though is the majority of Kumanians did not vote yes so therefore it is not in the interest of the Kumanian people to have your amendment pass. GB: If my job was to represent all 55 million Kumanians, then I and the 274 MPs would be elected by a national vote. But we aren't. We are elected on the provincial level so we only represent our home provinces. Sure we can do stuff that interests people from other provinces, but our main priority is always the people who actually voted us into office. Our main priority is the people from our home provinces. Speaker Sands takes it a step further by saying the people from our home provinces who voted for your party. I respectfully disagree with her on that. But anyways, if the Libertarian Socialist Party was truly the party of progressives, they would support this fairly progressive amendment. It won't remove their ally King Jimmy from power. He can run for president if he wanted to. But it is time for the leader of our country to be chosen by the people, not by birthright. I will keep fighting to get this important legislation passed because Kumania needs this change. SB: Thank you for joining us Mr. Black. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

17 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Speaker of Parliament Paulina Sands announced today that Parliament will reconvene Monday to vote on the Kumanian Presidency Amendment. Many are already predicting that the amendment will be defeated, even though enough pledged votes in favor of the amendment were secured in Saturday's referendum. There's already been great outcry from progressives within the Libertarian Socialist Party, mostly from Ontario, demanding that their MPs let the amendment pass, or risk losing their support. Unsurprisingly, Leader of the Communist Party Kevin Bluecheese has changed his tone following the referendum. He was quoted as saying, "My party will open its floodgates to any and all Libertarian Socialist voters who feel betrayed by their party's establishment." He's also announced that he will host a demonstration in Toronto on Tuesday following the vote in Parliament. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

18 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Leader of the Communist Party Kevin Bluecheese announced today that he and his fellow Communist MPs would not be participating in the vote for the Kumanian Presidency Amendment. However, while the other MPs did not provide reasoning for their absence, Bluecheese stated that it would be financially difficult for him to be present in Kumania City for the Parliament vote on Monday and then present at his demonstration in Toronto on Tuesday. Some have criticized this statement as "an extremely suspicious move". Leader of the Conservative Party Gary Paul said, "It's ridiculous how Kevin and his party spent all this time campaigning to defeat the KPA, but they're not even going to be present for the vote. I don't wanna raise any suspicion, but frankly it's quite difficult to not be suspicious. I don't know. I just don't understand how you could spend all this time trying to defeat a bill, and then when you actually get the opportunity to defeat this bill, you don't even take the opportunity!"

19 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Anarchy has broken out in the North American Commonwealth after legislation was passed that cut all funding for law enforcement. Already, violence is plaguing the countryside across the Commonwealth, similar to the violence that plagued our own country before it was united by the Kuma Clan. In response to the outbreak of lawlessness and mass violence across the North American Commonwealth, King Jimmy gave the following address: "Good morning. It has come to my attention that the North American Commonwealth has devolved into anarchy after law enforcement funding was cut. Violence is already plaguing the streets of the Commonwealth. I have seen some film footage from the Commonwealth, and it feels like I'm watching a reenactment of the Days of Anarchy that preceded the establishment of our country. Anyone well-educated in our early history knows that so many lives were lost and cities were literally razed to the ground. Our nation was created after the people suffered through so much horror. It is impossible to turn a blind eye to the horrors of anarchy. So therefore I am asking Parliament to establish a relief fund to help those affected by the horror that's taking place in the North American Commonwealth. "I will also announce that we will accept refuges from the Commonwealth. I will seek the advice of the Ministry of Defense to establish refuge camps in the Commonwealth, where refuges can flock to and then be transferred to safety here in Kumania. Also, if both the Kumanian people and former Commonwealth government officials will it, we shall do our best to restore law and order to the North American Commonwealth so the violent anarchy can be put to an end. Let it be known that our hearts are with the people of the North American Commonwealth. Thank you." Meanwhile in Riadistan, protests that had remained fairly peaceful have started to become more violent, with protesters clashing with law enforcement. The rioters have also attacked many nearby buildings and damaged pretty much anything else that seemingly stands in their way. These rioters have allegedly been linked with the Riadistani communists. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

20 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Parliament reconvened today beginning a new session. The Kumanian Presidency Amendment was voted on today. As speculated, the amendment was narrowly defeated as a majority of the Libertarian Socialist MPs backed down on their pledges to vote according to the vote in their respective home provinces. There was one abstention by a Libertarian Socialist MP, which was Speaker of Parliament Paulina Sands. Meanwhile, the Conservative MPs didn't break their pledges to vote according to the vote in their respective home provinces. This news has already sparked outrage among many progressive Libertarian Socialist MPs, especially from Ontario and Quebec, who have already begun protesting the outcome of the vote. All 22 Communist MPs technically abstained from voting as they were not present during the vote. Communist Leader Kevin Bluecheese is currently in Toronto where we will be hosting a demonstration tomorrow. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

21 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Protests have broken out in all eight provinces where the majority of voters supported the Kumanian Presidency Amendment. The largest protests are currently ongoing in Toronto, Quebec, and Montreal. While the majority of these protests have remained fairly peaceful, even the one in Toronto that is being hosted by Leader of the Communist Party Kevin Bluecheese, the protests in Quebec and Montreal have had some minor escalations. Among the things these protests have in common is a great disgust of the Libertarian Socialist Party and the political establishment. Social media has normalized the loudest common chant of "F-U-C-K-L-S-P". Already there have been louder calls for a new party to be formed to be a home for progressives who feel betrayed by the majority of the Libertarian Socialist MPs. Meanwhile, in Kumania City, the Royal Parliament passed a bill that establishes a relief fund for the victims of the outbreak of anarchy in the North American Commonwealth. Unfortunately, this has been greatly overshadowed by the anger resulting from the Kumanian Presidency Amendment vote. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

22 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Protests have continued today as supporters of the Kumanian Presidency Amendment are furious with the apparent betrayal of many Libertarian Socialist MPs who ended up reversing on their pledge to vote according to the results of the popular vote of their respective home provinces, of which these pledges being fulfilled would've allowed the amendment to pass Parliament. Leader of the Communist Party Kevin Bluecheese has not shied away from the opportunity to take advantage of the current situation to spread his message. In Toronto today, Kevin Bluecheese gave the following address: "I have heard recently that there are many calls for a new party on the left to be a home for progressives and socialists, the base of the Libertarian Socialist Party. Well here I am! You don't need to search any further. The Communist Party is here for you. We all have the same desires. The only real difference that's existed so far is how we want to implement them. But that shouldn't matter. For far too long, the political establishment of this nation has shit on the workers the people of this nation. They seem to forget that Saturday's referendum was 15 simultaneous provincial referendums, not a national referendum. They created this. And now they've turned around on it because they didn't like the outcome. But we will not let them get away with it. A promise is a promise! It is disgusting how these liars continue to remain in office after this assault on democracy. It is absolutely unacceptable! "I understand how critics of me may be thinking that it's hypocritical for me to be standing here after my party took a stance in opposition to the Kumanian Presidency Amendment. But at least my party was completely honest in its original intentions. At least my party didn't go around saying they were neutral and definitely going to vote according to the result of the popular vote in their home province and then turn around at the last second and vote how they wanted to. At least we have the courage to stand in front of our fellow citizens and tell them that we definitely do not like a certain piece of legislation. Trust me, I'd like to see everyone in the establishment gone, including King Jimmy. The KPA did not guarantee that such a glorious event would occur, so that's why we opposed it. This country needs real change. I know some may say it's impossible for the Communist Party to be anti-establishment as it's existed since the early days of democratic politics in this country. But I have this to tell them: anti-establishmentism isn't some trend. We've been fighting our whole lives for change. We have literally dedicated our entire careers to bringing down the corrupt political elite. If that's not anti-establishment enough for you, then you're a fool. "I also have this to say to the establishment: the revolution is coming soon. Take a look around. Take a look at all of these people gathered here with me here in Toronto. Enough is enough! It is almost time!" And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |

23 June 2016 This is the KNN International Daily Recap with Sally Bungolos! Hello, I'm Sally Bungolos, and here are today's top stories. Protests are still ongoing across Kumania in wake of the parliamentary vote on the Kumanian Presidency Amendment. There is no sign that these protests will cease to exist anytime soon. Meanwhile, protests in Riadistan have grown over the past few days. Many Riadistani officials have expressed concern over these protests. The top concern is their safety, as communists make up the majority of the protesters and there is still paranoia of a communist revolution breaking out in Riadistan. And that concludes our broadcast! I'm Sally Bungolos. From all of us here at KNN International, have a good day! |
