Elections in The Arabian Republic

The Arabian Republic
20-06-2004, 03:42
The Arabian Republic consists of nine nations, (Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
The United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon) and is currently preparing for elections.

The Parties involved in the election are:

The Arabian Democratic Party, candidate Mohammed Qan al-Saheef

The Arabian Democratic Party is a fairly liberal organization, for the Middle East. It does not approve of gambling, alcohol, homosexuality, or other such things, but it would not ban them outright. They are hoping to slowly modernize the Arabian Republic by instituting such things as:

welfare
public healthcare
public education (for both sexes, though in different schools)
Urbanization
foreign investment
government factories for the unemployed (where they would be payed)

They have some support, but they may simply be 'ahed of their time'.

The Conservative Islam Party, candidate Mohammed Tahir Rufai

The CIP is against progressive policies that the ADP wants to institute, and Rufai would like to see thousands of recently immigrated Jews and Orthodox Christians deported. Rufai's party supports programs for the poor, but says that foreign investment will lead to corruption and will steal the profits from the workers. The CIP is driven by the teachings of Islam, moreso than the ADP, and it therefore garners more support.

The Arabian People's Worker's Party, candidate Adila Aga
CHALLENGE: Find out what Adila Aga's name means.

The Arabian People's Worker's Party is a socialist organization that has lower support than the other two parties, but is still a contender in the election. Adila Aga's platform is one that promises to tax Qatar's oil sales for the Arabian Republic's government funding, and to employ ALL people in the Arabian Republic (who are able to work). Aga supports the ADP's idea of government factories, but he does not want any private corporations existing in the nation (especially not foreign ones). Suprisingly, Aga's main supporters are not the poorest in the AR (most of whom support the CIP), but those who already have jobs. Young people who may soon be entering the job market also make up a considerable part of the APWP's support base.

There are also six smaller parties running in the election, including:
The Jihad Party
The True Islam Party
The Islamic Coalition
The Arabian Communist Party
The Qatar Independance Party
and The Free Trade Party

Galdania supports the Arab People's Worker's Party. May Adila Aga unite your people.

OOC: We still have 6,000 marines in your nation, in case Hallad attacks. Would you like them removed?

We believe that this can be better accomplished by the Arab People's Worker's Party.

Where exactly, however, does the APWP stand on social issues such as homosexuality, etc.

The Government of Ekwenda does not approve of interference with the internal affairs of other countries, but welcomes anyone who supports democracy, socialism, peace, and human rights for all.
