Aurora d’Orléans has resigned from the office of the Prime Minister. Addressing the nation, she shared the following statement:
My fellow Hokorians,
It had always been my intention to retire at the end of this term owing to the reality that exiting university, my priorities must be my own life and not this endeavour. Whilst I have enjoyed my time in office, this was an easy choice to make in the grand scheme of things.
However, I had not expected my resignation to be forced, but it has. Forced by the state angling to pursue the exact same course of action for the third time in recent memory and expecting a different result. As such, I cannot nod along for yet another round of the true underlying issues being ignored and I have moved to resign with immediate effect.
I have informed the Koru, and presented them with a brief, but comprehensive one page letter outlining exactly why I have moved up my planned retirement to today and why it’s now accompanied by my resignation in protest. I shall not state exactly what I have told them, but the key takeaway is that I believe that for Hokoria to thrive, it must work on community led cultural events, and not the government telling people to have fun and appreciate culture. Hokoria cannot thrive on the artificial activity of electoral hype.
As such I sincerely hope that this resignation will spur action to address the issues, and not plaster over them by repeating the same process which has been tried, failed, tried again, failed, had democracy suspended and then tried the exact same process again with a new constitution, and it failed. The issue isn’t necessarily governance, it’s that the hyper-focus upon governance has come at the cost of culture and natural activity from those not interested in politics.
Above all, I hope to see Hokoria grow and thrive, and that those voices urging for a step back and analysis of what will truly help the national identity cut through the quagmire of the status quo of short term fixes.
Thank you, and may you have the best of fortunes.
