This is one of those 'lesser of two evils' scenarios. One of your candidates is clinically insane, whilst the other simply says "Bite me, I'll do things my way." Therefore, I would have to throw my support behind Rachel G. Bershov of the Reform Party.

OOC: Yes, I'm letting the international community decide my country's future. Go ahead, vote!
Ooc- Hmmm, this gives me an idea, "In other news, a massive write-in campaign has seen William Fabus winning by a strong majority." (grins) perhaps the DIS will pay your elections a visit, eh?
The United Osea States, jsut resently releasing information that elections are on the horizon, is happy to elect the Communist Party, as they have the views of the Osea government currently.
We expect the other votes to go in different directions, however we still support Communism.

"I call on the people of my kingdom of TBD to boycott these elections since they can't hold an election in a land where I am rightfully the king and my wife Sylvia Katrina is rightfully the queen. Our government in exile is recognized by many world powers, such as the Mississippian Federation and many of their allies. These elections are pointless as they are illegal and run contrary to my standing decrees for The Burnsian Desert."

You do not own TBD, you have never owned TBD, and you will never own TBD, as you will not own any other countries in the world, ever(Except yours, of course). You're politics are too far-right, even for my conservative policies. Your conquering is atrocious, your rascist ways evil, your dictatorship out-of-date.

We place our vote for the Communist Party and wish them luck on their campaign. They will make the Burnsian Desert great. Other than that, we also give backing to the Standing Party, as they are also suitable to run the nation.
OOC: To RK, forum elections are a waste of time. (If each elected party was given a 4-year term, according general NS time you would have to hold an election every 4 days. Also, elections would have to be over in seconds. You could break with NS time, but a) this wouldn't be very realistic in accordance with other RPs, and b) it would STILL be a waste of time. Also, if you're trying to make flexible elections you'll hit the limit of 9 candidates)

These two statements just dont add up.
We do not believe it is possible that the Reform Party could have won. And with comments from William Fabus, this only supports our claim. We believe he or the reform party could have rigged these elections to ensure that DA is in control. With the permission of TBD government, the true government, we would like to investigate into our claims.

That's the official stance that the party has said, however, it does not mean that the candidate chooses to follow them.
"Dang, I hope this does not mean we are out of neutrality." Said Presidente Jewitt looking at the election results. "Send them a message, Fabus might have rigged those elections."
