Federal Senate Elections!
The Biotopian Federal senate is entering election mode and The International is running a survey on international opinion. The condition of the vote is first preference only. A short synopsis of every party standing for election will be given below. [Note independents have been excluded]. *DVS = Domestic Electoral Share
Biotopian Keuberr Rourgrhu [BKR] Biotopian Labour Party: generally associated with the Big Unions and Medium Collectives the BKR has a generally aggressive approach managing the economy and an isolationist foreign policy. The BKR favours relations with the CACE over the NHU. The BKR pushes to minimise un-skilled immigration, nationalise the Largest Collectives and reduce trade with non-socialist nations.
Demographic: (40-65+ Working Class)
Social: conservative
Political: centralised conservative
Economic: centralised protectionist
(DVS: 18%)
Noveau KaashKemi! [NKK!] New Communist!: ironically it is the most radical party also has the oldest demographic despite a recent name change and new policies initiatives to draw in younger members. The NKK! Is notorious for outrages demonstrations (the latest was pensioners streaking to protest the conditions of aged care) and its radical agenda. The NKK! Is more successful at local elections and has made numerous attempts to internally liquidate government councils, including the Senate. Their strongest policy however is their push for introducing the e-command system at a national level.
Demographic: (50-65+ Radical Left)
Social: radical libertine
Political: abolition of federalism
Economic: decentralised e-command economy
(DVS: 10%)
Sederruke Veae Keekgreme [SVK] Federal Greens Collective: SVK is the smallest of the “Big Four” parties and frequently holds the balance of power in the Senate. Dominating the youth vote the SVK brings creativity, enthusiasm and passion to politics. The SVK has introduced progressive social policies, acting as a counter balance to the conservatism of the older parties. Members of the SVK in the Lower House are often chosen to fill Environment, Health, education or Justice cabinet positions and have proven themselves strong on both the environment and social justice.
Demographic: (16-35 tertiary educated)
Social: progressive liberalists
Political: moderate decentralised
Economic: eco-communitarians
(DVS: 15%)
Keemberruke Rourgrhu [KR] Liberal Party: Biotopia’s largest party promotes an expansion of private enterprise, collectivisation of government departments and reduction of protectionist policies. The KR has pushed for greater involvement in the NHU and expanding extra-regional trade, at the expense of Aperin and CACE. The KR demographic is less evenly spread then the BI and membership ‘clumps’ along the spectrum and around certain sectors, especially the services, finance, trade and some public service areas.
Demographic: (30-65+ Suburban Middle Class)
Social: moderate-liberalists
Political: moderate decentralists
Economic: liberal market socialists
(DVS: 22%)
Sousterr Astro Ukeemuaek [SAU] Southern Star Alliance: emerging from rural protest party the SAU is a rural based organisation largely representing those involved in the agriculture, forestry and to a limited extent, mining sectors. The party effectively lobbies for sector protection, improving infrastructure and promotes the ideology of “small townism” a utopian ideal of communitarian lifestyle originating from the southern anarchist communes.
Demographic: (45-55 Rural Working Class)
Social: progressive communitarians
Political: decentralised liberalists
Economic: limited protectionists
(DVS: 9%)
Biotopian ImkemkeuI [BI] Biotopian Socialists: the second largest party has the most evenly spread age distribution of all the parties. The BI attracts operators of small enterprises and middle management and promotes the policy of “small is good” and promotes small-scale private enterprise and trade. The BI is also recognised for strong capabilities in economic management, its pro-public infrastructure spending agenda and internationalist foreign affairs commitment.
Demographic: (35-65+ Suburban Middle Class)
Social: moderate-communitarians
Political: decentralised conservative
Economic: market socialists
(DVS: 20%)
RoshrreBio [RB] PureBio: based on a narrow platform of reduced immigration, the mandatory internment of refugees, disengaging from the NHU and CACE (and some more radical elements call for complete withdrawal including from the UN and IFTA) and running ‘citizenship camps’ to assist in assimilating non-Biotopians. Their reactionary policies play on a perceived threat to “cultural nationalism” and the disintegration of the Biotopian way of life. Although not authoritarian some members are aggressively militant in promoting the organisation.
Demographic: (45-65 Suburban Middle Class)
Social: regressive
Political: conservative
Economic: protectionist communitarians
(DVS: 6%)
