"We feel that PEI does not recognize the sovereignty of the nation of UPEI. We have been crucial to the well being of the Island and our rights as a nation have been ignored." said party president Ralph Connell.
"We believe that the nation of UPEI should separate from PEI because of our cultural differences."
The party has lobbied the Student Union in the past. Their most recent victory was the construction of fence along the PEI/UPEI western border.
"The fence has been of some success, but we would like to construct a larger wall with cameras to keep more Islanders from illegally entering our country." said Jean Rosslen, deputy leader of the Succeed to Secede party.
"We'll be making sure people are aware of our values and policies, which are quite simple: leave PEI. To make sure that the student body is aware of our party, we'll be hosting numerous events. This Friday in the CARI Centre, we will be hosting a rousing tournament of Duck, Duck, Separatist. On Saturday it'll be Sundaes for Sovereignty, and on Monday we will hold the first ever Prince Edward Island flag burning day."
Not all party members are so optimistic.
"I don't know if we'd actually separate," stated backbencher Michael Dow.
"I know it would be nice, but really we really like sucking the government for money. Of course, this may just be part of our national identity."
