Prime Minister Stan Bach.

Today, Beepeeps across our glorious land exercised their democratic right to vote in this referendum.

The decision of the electorate was resoundingly clear, Beepee shall join the South Pacific Regional Trade Agreement. This referendum was an unprecedented exercise in democracy

Beepeep's voted for free trade, we voted for closer ties with our allies, we voted for SPIT. And now it is up to us, here in the Beepeean Parliament to finalise the agreement.

Praise Auphelia.
