Joe Anne Placard:
-Party: Left Coalition (Liberal, Socialist, Progressive, and African Nationalist)
-Position: Prime Minister and Acting President
-Ideals: Social Democrat
-Placard came to power by forcing the resignation of the last government and forcing the Parliament to dissolve and a directly elected National Assembly replaced it. She continued the liberal practices of her predecessor, but quickly swept up the corruption. She is the granddaughter of the two fascist/monarchist dictators though never has supported their agenda. She was married to a rapper (he was black aiding her support in the non-white majority) and had a R&B career before his murder, then becoming an anti-crime activist and politician. She easily won the nomination of the Progressive and African Nationalist parties (she is white, but her husband was black), but narrowly defeated former Prime Minister Harrison for the Liberal nomination and only got the Socialist nomination after revolutionary and former Prime Minister Ylonda Galapagos-Nahru dropped out due to the National Assembly outlawing capitalism. She is losing some support for recently outlawing capitalism when big business tried to threaten her, also the economy has declined since she took office. Her anti-corruption message also is very popular and she is an icon among the non-white majority, plus the nation was once a happily Socialist democracy.
Chris Harrison:
-Party: New Liberal
-Position: former Prime Minister and former Acting President
-Ideals: Center-Left/New Liberal
-Harrison was the corrupt leader that Placard forced to resign. He announced his plans to challenge her for the Liberal nomination, but failed. When capitalism was outlawed he led some of the Liberals to form the New Liberal party that promised to return the party to the center-left. He has support of a few unions, but his hopes of taking unions from Placard have failed. He also comes from the group of moderate white liberals who refuse to comment on special clauses for the non-white majority. He has gained enough support to be a threat to Placard by promising to return the economy, though his corrupt past holds him back.
Harry Ross:
-Party: Reform
-Position: Self-made billionaire
-Ideals: Radical Center
-Ross is a political unknown and made himself a billionaire during the capitalist days. His message portrays a friendly get-rich-quick capitalism that also promises to protect workers rights and regulate big business. He refuses to take positions on social issues and instead concentrates on the economy. He is a bit eccentric, but that only helped gain supporters. His newly created Reform Party was formed by him during Harrison’s corrupt administration to face him in an election. He draws votes from the center as well as the far left and far right. He will be a force to reckon with in a runoff.
Bruce Herbert:
-Party: Conservative
-Position: Corporate lobbyist and former MP and Bureaucrat
-Ideals: Right
-Herbert is considered to be moderate for the Conservative Party, but won the nomination easily by creating an early alliance between big business and conservative leaders. He was hoping to gain support from the center, but Ross has dashed those hopes. He has lost the radical right early on and continues to loose votes to the right to King Edward. He would legalize capitalism again and begin to repeal regulations. He is conservative on social issues, though many see him as more liberal than most in the party, also he pledges to lower taxes. His pledges of lower taxes excites the rich, but this nation is poor and a welfare state so that may not be enough to give him a victory.
Edward Placard:
-Party: Nationalist Coalition (Monarchist, Fascist, and Judeo-Christian)
-Position: Member of National Assembly and claimant to the throne as King Edward.
-Ideals: Far Right
-King Edward is Prime Minister Placard’s uncle and the house’s leader. He calls for the throne to be restored. He has said that a constitutional monarchy would rule and has also said that it would not be a empire as before, but a kingdom. He also has the fascist support and hopes that he will be able to win the white vote. He would restrict non-whites from voting for certain offices, but not holding them. The Judeo-Christian Party was hijacked by him. An African immigrant bishop formed it as a Christian alternative to the fascist and soon combined it with the Zionist Party. It attracted Muslims and others before the cardinals death. Know it still gets some minority votes despite being white supremist. He has gained support by drawing votes from Herbert. In a runoff he could have a very slight chance though his election would likely cause a revolution.
Mohammed X:
-Party: Independent
-Position: Member of the National Assembly
-Ideals: Far Left/Communist/Afro-Centric
-X is the only black candidate and had hoped to get the African Nationalist Party’s support, but they went for Placard, because he is so radical. He has proposed armed revolution if non-whites are discriminated against. He thinks only a non-white candidate can win. Even has recently taken a communist tone. He has a base, though not large, if he slips into a primary he could have a chance. His election would likely cause the more conservative parties to revolt.
