Soratatt v Samson
In February, 2586 President Samson of the Liberal Conservative Party was accused by the Imperium leader Oliver Soratatt of 'inviting prostitutes in his mansion'. This accusation was sparked when Soratatt proposed to Parliament to remove Prostitution as a recognized occupation but was later being declined by the Liberals. As a result of this the Imperium Party was forced to be censured by parties of the National Congress. The Imperium Party lost many supporters and suffered in Congress, loosing seats and votes. However Soratatt has highlighted that the President hasn't answered 'his question' yet. After some years Oliver Soratatt resigned as leader and took the role as a shadow advisor. In 2591 Santiago Garcia replaced Oliver Soratatt as party leader.
