The Government of the Republic of Wynnum has decided to postpone the Presidential race this year for a few reasons.
Firstly our current President, although winning the race in November last year as normal, was prevented from taking office by the onset of COVID-19 – in fact President Bell’s Inauguration Ceremony only took place last September – and he is keen to make one last major announcement for the Republic before leaving office. Secondly we believe that Citizens of the Republic – and non-citizens as well – may be suffering a degree of ‘election fatigue’ (a recognised medical condition in the Republic) in the wake of elections in the US and in Australia and so we have decided to give them a moment to catch their collective breath before we embark on the process for selecting a new President here.
Keep inside your own border, or we’ll build a wall!
Signed, Republic of Manly.
