Presidential Election.
Republican News Network
Today President Martin and Presidential Hopeful Craig Lockghart met in the Grey House to discuss the terms for the creation of an election to be held immediately in the nation. As they shook hands on the balcony of the Grey House, they issued a joint press statement in which they called for a cease to all hostilities within the country so that the election could be held as quickly as possible. The election date was announced to have opened today, and will continue for a week until a presidential candidate is chosen by the public.
We here at RNN have been chosen by the government to host the Election Coverage, and as such we shall begin by outlining the Candidates who will be in the election:
Xavier Martin - Republican Liberal-Imperial Party
Xavier Martin is the head of the Republican Liberal-Imperial Party and is currently the elected President of the Republic. His policies include a wide array of policies, including an increased defence budget, a large social welfare platform and free healthcare for all citizens in the country. He is also calling for a huge increase in the education budget for the Republic, seeing as the education budget has been decreased dramatically despite the best efforts of the government due to a poor economic capacity recently. As such he favours lowering taxes for all citizens and gaining the money needed for reforms from both increased foreign investment and taxing of large corporations. He has also lead the country through several wars, including one in Hitlerreich where a colony was founded.
Craig Lockhart - Republican Anarchist Party
As the head of the Republican Anarchist Party, Lockhart follows a traditional Anarchistic policy of the destruction of government, the dismissal of the armed forces, to be replaced with his own 'Black Guard'. He favours the raising of taxes to an unprecedented 75%, the eradication of all businesses to be replaced with one large, state-controlled storefront, and the complete dismantlement of the education system, citing the need for children to learn the 'Laws of the Street'. Finally, he favours a completely xenophobic viewpoint and will ban all outsiders from the nation through forcible ejection, and the eradication of all political parties, especially those of the right-wing persuasion. All political members would be rounded up and liquidated.
Tranther Riffington - Republican Pacifist Party
Tranthar Riffington is the head of the Republican Pacifist Party. As such, he encourages a peace-treaty with all known nations, the dismantlement of the military and dismissal of all armed forces personnel, as well as the nuclear weapons program. In all other matters he follows a view that all large businesses should be banned, the education system would get top funding, and that there would be no social welfare at all for the nation, as well as a huge increase in funding for the environment and the creation of a Republican Conservation society that would be mandatory for all citizens of the Republic. He also favours small yearly tax increases and the need for an increase in religious funding, as there is no official religion within the Republic.
Woodrow Yiffington - Republican Insanity Party
Head of the Republican Insanity Party after taking a dare - and losing - , Woodrow Yiffington is believed by many to be certifiably insane. His policies are ever-changing, but believes in replacing the armed forces with small, cute fluffy kittens, mandatory cake-eating for all those over the age of twelve, the eradication of all large businesses to be replaced by Balloon-making industries, and public nudity for all those over eighteen years of age. If elected, he vows to change the Grey House into a Bouncy-Castle with free admission for all over eighty, change the National Slogan to 'Wibble', and marry several foxes at once.
Questions will be allowed to be given to the candidates, one at a time for a week, after which the voting will close and the winner shall be announced.
