In recent Years the people of Tor Yvresse-Mars have been moving towards a greater degree of Democratic Freedoms, a state we have been encoraging, and moving, now we have decided to take it a stage further From this Day Forth the Domestic Policy of our Martian Colony shall be determined by it's citizens in an open election. It's foreign and defence policys shall remain under the Farseer Council of course, but everything else including it's Economic situation shall be in it's citizens hands.

The first elections for the new Parliament shall be held shortly, and new parties have formed for the event, we will be asking that a nation with a long history of Democracy sends adivsors to help us in this process as we have little experiance in running such events.

Still the initial Parties that are standing are as follows.

The Farseer Party.

Formed in a large from the Eldar sections of the Community this party has a promising future, able to claim the vast majority of the Eldar Vote. It's stated policy aims are a continuation of the status quo and policys initiated by the Farseer of Mars. And to follow the will of the Farseers when expressed even in domestic matters.

Martian Marx Party

A Drastic change in direction this admittadly small but growing faction is formed from those that follow the teachings of Marx. Stating that they are rejecting the notion of of establishing some form of Stalinst state, they seek to end Capitalism within the running of the Martian Colony.

Mel-shaith

A Loose coalition of smaller interests this group also hopes to continue with the status Quo with regards to Economic policys, however it is split on several matters of Social care, still it is thought that this alliance could along with the Farseer Party take the Polls having similar positions overall with the Party.

Martian Independence Party.

Little more than a Joke a few extremists hold power within this party, rumours speak of it being infiltrated throughout by members of the Colonial and Protectorate Internal Security Forces, but no evidence has ever been found as to this being the case.

More may come forward before the start of the election, and candiates for the elections have yet to be anouced.

((OOC If you want to add a party feel free basically a Note on TVM we have several different Species living in the colony but with the exception of the Farseer Party, I don't want Race Parties but Parties with definate Agendas. The Farseer Party is the exception due to the simple fact that Eldar are not good with Democracy and trust the will of the Farseer massivly.))
