As ambassadors don't have access to parliament, where this is being discussed, this thread is fr Orioni, Tag and whoever else to have their say. I hand it over to you:

Bah, sorry, I lost the thread. :P

We're completely for it, as we have had a long history of good relatons, and there has been talk of an alliance before, although that was prevented from going any further than talk by the old Free Port Act.

Concerning our defender stance, there is no reason why Q102 would have to take part in any missions that Europa undertook, unless any Q102ers wished to. That seemed to be a recurring theme in the parliament debate. :P It wouldn't really be an alliance if either side forced the other to do stuff against their will, would it?

Rekamgil, our newest senator, voiced the concern about the Lazarus thing. Has Q102 suffered any diplomatic fallout over this? (I appreicate you may wish to answer this as a PM, if it is too sensitive).

the essence of the alliance would be if either region got invaded then the other region will come to the aid.

In response to the Lazarus situation, We were caught off gaurd when Lazarus was invaded and we were unsure at the time who was in charge over at Lazarus. However once we figured out the whole story we sent what we could to help the natives and once everything was OK we came back to Q102.

SSince then we have made efforts to revive the QPD so situations like that wouldn't happen again.

Thanks for that! :D

I just needed a bit of a clarification. I didn't think anything had happened, but what Rek said did sow a tiny seed of doubt in my mind. Thanks for removing it.

As I understand it with Lazarus two things happened:
One we had a Government crisis as I had just resigned and the Delegate was a temporary one pending elections. Two they never actually officially asked us for help until it was too late but when they did we did send some forces to assist. Until then we were only going on hearsay and did not know what was happening. It is hard to help when you don't have regular contact - partly our fault and partly theirs that is.

I love Hak's incisive political comments. They really get to the heart of the matter! :D

Indeed.

We should nail Hak up into a barrel, set it alight and roll it down a hill.

sorry but like nev said, I think we have been treated abit unfairly as far as this lazarus thing goes. The treaty says something like the heads of the government should ask for assistance, they never did. Tbh, like hnev said, before we really knew what was happening, they had been invaded, and their delegate replaced. We were unsure as to what was going on, and rather then support a new 'invasion' government we posponed the alliance. I think things are OK now relations wise, but its not fair that we get branded bad allies when we werent informed by the proper channels

I've not accused you lot of anything, it was just what our newest Senator said, which put a tiny bit of doubt in my mind. We would in no way call Q102 "bad allies", especially as we have had good relations for so long.

No worries.

We've ground to a bit of a halt over this at the moment, what with O being ill, EE being absent, Vanarambaion (our Minister of Security/Defence) being AWOL and a quiet weekend in the Senate.

In Q102, the alliance will move to a vote on April 8th, which will run for seven days. So we'll know on April 15th. Tag, when will Europa have made a decision?

I think the vote will only aprrove/reject the idea in principle, until there is a treaty to vote on anyway.
