PRIME MINISTER JULIA WESTERLAKE.
Political shocker sees former Prime Minister Rolis, kicked out of the ruling Peoples Economic Party.

In other nations politics is considered boring.  In PopularFreedom however leaders seem to leave for the most unique reasons.

In March, then Prime Minister Bayda resigned for 'personal reasons' though it turns out that those personal reasons included over a month long honeymoon with his new wife.

Now in April another political shocker as the man chosen as Bayda's successor, Prime Minister Joshua Rolis, has been ousted by his own choice for deputy Prime Minister.

Political insiders never saw this coming as the first sign of anything resembling the political 'activities' seen last night was the secret meeting held by those in the cabinet of the Peoples Economic Party.

'...Rolis just sat back and would only state that PopularFreedom citizens would not be protected if they traveled to nations involved in the conflict was just inexcusable to those higher up in the party.'

Though reasons have yet to be given for the turfing of Prime Minister Rolis from the Peoples Economic Party, most are speculating his hands off attitude in regards to the federal government on how they ran the nation as being of primary concern to the ruling Peoples Economic Party.

'It came as a shock to the party when Rolis earlier noted that the nation would not become involved in the recent tensions between nations in the Heartland Region.  Especially in light of the recent nuclear blast close to New Yavin, the fact that Rolis just sat back and would only state that PopularFreedom citizens would not be protected if they traveled to nations involved in the conflict was just inexcusable to those higher up in the party', noted one political commentator.

Other political commentators faulted more Rolis' trend towards decentralization of the federal government as a key concern for the higher brass within the party.  'You are talking about a party which holds the majority of power in the nation', noted Christian Armstrong, a political science professor at Locke Harbour City State University.  'Any decision to give more power to the different regions of the nation would be met with strong opposition in a party that has forever fought to increase the power of the central government and limit the power of the regions.'

The newest leader of the nation, Prime Minister Julia Westerlake, waves hello to well wishers as she arrives for her official swearing in ceremony today in the capital.
