OOC: Polls will close in one day, forgot to tell it to do that

SEVARISIAN BROADCASTING SERVICE

MADRID

After last week's fraud-riddled general election, the re-vote, as promised, is being held today. Security is extra tight today, to ensure that not only terrorists stay away, but to ensure no vote tampering, such as what occurred last time.

Voter turnout is expected to be very high once again, as the people wish to exercise their vote without worry of it being miscounted. It is expected to be a close race, as the last polls have the National Front only a few points ahead of the Progressive Popular Front

However, we regret to announce, that, as a measure against fraud, all far-rightist/Fabusist/Fascist parties have been banned from participating in federal elections or holding rallies for a indefinite period of time.

We have compiled a list of parties that are contesting the election below.

NATIONAL FRONT (Incumbent)
Leader: Jose de Rivera

POLICY:
-Increase the size of the military to meet threats from the Fabus bloc.
-Take a hard line against Fabusism, containing its spread.
-Continue the diversification of the Sevaris Pension Plan to allow people to choose where to place their funds.
-Maintaing the National Health Insurance plan, keeping it optional
-Uphold the rulings allowing Abortion and Gay Marriage
-Continue selling off state assests, such as Sevarisian National Railways and PetroSevaris
-Grant Sevaris's overseas territories limited independence in a Commonwealth-style plan
-Increasing the number of immigrants allowed in per year to 225,000
-Major tax break for the poor.


POPULAR PROGRESSIVE FRONT (Coalition of the Socialist Party of Sevaris, and the Sevarisian Communist Party)

Bump

The Federal Republic of Bonstock throws its support behind the National Front, as its anti-Fabusism policies are in line with the policies of the Federal Republic.

The SovietRepublicofRussia places full support behind the Popular Progressive Front and its progressive socialist policies.

The Virginian Combine throws its support behind the enlightened policies of the National Front.

His Imperial Majesty's Government would prefer either the National Front or the Popular Progressive Front to be victorious; both platforms appear to be enlightened and good for the people of Sevaris and the world. In the case of either one winning, we hope that they invite the other to join with them in a Coalition government.

That is what we intend to do.

"We demand that you allow for write-ins, or you allow the right-wing to have equal participation in this election. If not, we will void it, with soldiers if necessary."

"The National Front gained 9 votes in about five minutes of election time, this is an obvious fraud... We demand a new election be held, with allowances for write-ins."

Election results are still filtering in. We do not expect to be finish tallying until this evening, so things could change.

We have already held a new election, because the last one was riddled with fraud. Observers have reported no fraud has occured as of this time. With regards to write-ins, we cannot do that, as there is no legal provision for it.

Ooc- So when I bragged to you over MSN last election how I used 6 puppets to vote, it was fraud, this time when I brag to you, it's not fraud? That's it, I'm off to class now, check the forums later though, you'll want to. :)

OOC: DA, If you dare plot an invasion, the world will come crashing down on to you like a ton of bricks- and I haven't committed fraud, DA. I explained to you how we ICly knew there was fraud.

Ooc- You explained nothing, simply saying, "They got too many votes for it to be real." is not adequate. Anyway, we won't be invading, we'll just be killing all the candidates we don't like, with commandos or spies. :D

OOC:I did explain..public opinion polls said they approval ratings of 0.8% THREE DAYS before the election. My security forces are also more than competent to foil any assassination plan.

National Front for Sevaris 2005!

I'm FT but what the fuck.

National Front 2005!

(OOC: That, and the fact that you need permission from Sevaris. It IS his RP. Talking about RP, when are we gonna do ours >_>)

The National Front sounds a lot like our majority Libertarians!

OOC: POLLS ARE NOW CLOSED.

We are now pleased present the results, which, hopefully, will bring an end to this debacle once and for all.

National Front 47.06%
Popular Progressive Front 37.25%
Sevarisian Libertarians 15.69%

The National Front and the Popular Progressives have announced they will form a coalition government, under the guise of the "National Progressive Front".

The Sevarisian Government once again thanks the world for their understanding and cooperation during this troubling time, and we also thank the people for coming out to vote.
