Longtime Squornshelan leader the Great Prophet Zarquon has announced that he is stepping down from his position at the head of the Squornshelan government. In an unprecedented move, Zarquon has not named a successor, but has declared as his last act as dictator, that a free and open election will be held. This has opened up the government for all sorts of new forms and directions to take. The candidates are as follows:
The Prophet Bokonon
Bokonon was Zarquon's Lieutenant for much of his reign and is seen as a solid choice who will continue to keep Squornshelous as a very stable nation without making any drastic changes in policy. Basicly, a vote for Bokonon is a vote for the status quo.
Anastasia Varekova
In a stunning move, this leader of the steadily growing civil rights movement in Squornshelous has been nominated as the first ever female candidate for head of state. While her economic views are fairly similar to Bokonon's, she has declared her mission to be increasing the rights of Squornshelan citizens and ending the Police State status that Squornshelous has.
Samuel Debbs
The head statesman of the leftist parties in Squornshelous, he is an advocate for massive increases in welfare, education and other government spending on internal improvements. He has vowed to bring social equality to a nation that has not seen it since it's founding.
Jason Harvey
The leader of the libertarian party, Harvey plans to drasticly scale back government spending in almost every area, planning massive tax cuts and huge military cuts. He is the only son of rich parents, but he disagrees with their way of life, and also wants to redistribute the wealth of the nation more evenly among its people.
This poll will be up for a week. It's results will be a factor in the election.
