Hello, I’m Joshua Boulden of Romandeos News Service, coming to you live from Capital Hill in the city of Tasmardonia, capital city of the Kingdom of Romandeos with shocking information concerning the political process here in our great nation. Our Prime Minister, Dennis Mayfield, is coming to the end of his second term as the master of our Parliament, and he has announced to the people of Romandeos that he will be trying for another term.
However, King Christian I, head of the Royal Family, has announced that things are to be a little bit different from usual in this election. He has announced that he intends to let the assorted peoples of the world have a say in who will be the next person to run Parliament.
The Candidates are as follows.
Kurt Wattles: Kurt Wattles is an older gentleman of forty-five years who has served as an Independent in the Parliament for the past twenty-two years of his life. He believes that it is necessary to maintain what he calls a strict “Home Folks First” policy, which means he has plans to maintain a largely isolationist administration if he is elected, interfering in an international affair only if it will directly benefit Romandeos. He intends to enact policies like the “No Immigration Policy” he proposed to the Parliament thirteen years ago, which is a law that would keep most people out of the country, allowing only those who meet an incredibly strict set of physical, mental and political parameters to get inside our borders.
Dennis Mayfield: Dennis Mayfield is even older than Wattles at a little over fifty years of age, and he is rumored to be in less than perfect health. He has been the Prime Minister of his country twice before already, and he is apparently anxious to do so once more, though it would bring his total time in service to eighteen years. His stated policy is to protect his homeland by building a strong military and establishing strong, profitable trade links with large numbers of other nations, but not to establish binding military alliances that may get his country involved in a war in which it has no real interests. He is facing accusation that he is a hypocrite due to his formation of militaristic relations with the nation of Hogsweat in spite of his stated policy. He is also an Independent.
Taunja Lockeheart: Taunja Lockeheart has been in the Parliament for less than two years, but this twenty-six year-old woman has been studying politics ever since she was a young lady of only fourteen years. She is currently a member of the Conservative Party, and that looks like it isn’t going to change soon. Her policy is to maintain her country’s security in international and external affairs by building up a strong military, forming trade alliances, looking for military cooperation with other countries, and bettering the standard of living, keeping the risk of internal rebellion to a minimum. She also plans to enhance civil rights laws in Romandeos.
