We have managed to get an exclusive interview with the newly elected candidate for leader of Parliament from the Progressive Petronians Party (PPP), Dexter Zhuang.
We had a few minutes of small talk before we actually started the interview. The feeling in the room was very relaxed and friendly as we began.
The Petronian Tribune: Why do you believe that you have been chosen for the candidate for the leader of Parliament?
Dexter Zhuang: I feel like I have the experience because I know parliamentary procedure from past activities such as Model UN and debate. Also, I have been the speaker of the house in my state's student congress and the mayor in a statewide city simulation. And I feel like I would be the most fair and efficient head of the Parliament, because is not about the issues but it is about the how you conduct the meetings.
PT: Do you believe you are the best choice for being the head of representation of the parliament of the people of Great Petronia?
DZ: Yes, because of the formerly mentioned experience, and I feel like I am more experienced than the other candidates in conducting meetings.
PT: Do you have any comments on the other candidates who are running for this post?
DZ: They are all really qualified and exceptional candidates, but the most important thing we should focus on is how we can function in the Parliament.
PT: What do you mean with how we can function in the Parliament?
DZ: By making the meeting as smooth, productive, and efficient as possible.
PT: Were there any opponents or other candidates?
DZ: Not really; we were pretty unified.
PT: Do you have any plan for you campaign, such as for example the candidate of MEAP, Nasser Siadat, has?
DZ: As of now we are still planning a campaign, but we will something set up by the end of this glorious day.
PT: If elected, what do you want to achieve in your term?
DZ: As the leader of Parliament I would represent the views of all the people, and I would make sure that the debate and legislation go as well as possible. And I would ensure that there is a fair and just rule.
PT: How do you want to keep the balance between the parties in the Parliament?
DZ: By hammering out compromises on issues that there are conflicts on and working through cooperation to solve problems that we encounter.
PT: Do you have any preferences for the parliamentary buffet?
DZ: As long as the food is better than that of the cafeteria, maybe a few vegan and kosher choices would be nice.
