Controversy
The general election for the 40th Cosa is remembered as one of Talossa's nastiest fought campaigns. Events began when Viteu Marcianüs, a member of the FGP, got involved in a fierce argument with the leader of the Progressive Party, Owen Edwards. This event led to the leaders of the FGP, Flip Molinar and Éovart Grischun, expelling Marcianüs from the party. These events (which were later dubbed V-Gate) led to weeks of hostility and anger from all sides. Subsequently and, perhaps, coincidentally , each party contesting the election became involved in bitter and heated exchanges. Several Talossans resigned from various positions and some even renounced their citizenship. The aftermath of these events led to a notable period of inactivity within the Kingdom. The damaged relationships and reputations have since healed, however, today, those who fought the campaign prefer their politics to remain civil and are usually the first to call for 'cooler heads' whenever arguments flare up during debates.
