Lakes, the SS Commander, has used a conference by his political party Veritas = Truth to launch a blistering attack on the Dino government which he called "unelected, unrepresentative and underwhelming!" With the Dino Elders expected to recommend partial democracy and an expanded senate Lakes has decided to begin his political campaigning for elections which could occur before the end of the year.
"The tired status quo is about to collapse!" he told a group of Veritas party workers, "The people no longer wish to be told what to do by an oligarchy, they want their voice! They want the truth!"
Emperor Ronald declined to comment on Lakes' speech, he simply said that soon the people would have their say and he was confident they "would be able to sort the wheat from the chaff".
