Four days until the election; Greens continue to steal support

Greens make further inroads on the Social Coalition as the election nears

The seemingly pro-everything Greens continued their kleptomaniacal ways Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday by launching surprise main street ambushes, wherein Green candidates showed up at Social Coalition campaign spots and bombarded the SC representatives with demanding questions.

The harsh, extremely aggressive technique atypical of a pro-peace party like the Greens, formed shortly after the last election, seems to have worked, as the Social Coalition took a three-point drop in the overall survey done today by ABM/Capax, Pacitalia's largest human data surveyor.

The Greens were the sole benefactor of the SC drop, taking those three points straight to the bank. The party now stands at 28.3% according to the ABM/Capax results, substantially behind the governing Federation of Progressive Democrats who sit at 52.2% support. The Social Coalition fell to 9.1% support, dangerously close to falling behind Marco Quirinamo's Partia di Traditionale (6.6%) for the first time ever. The Communists remained steady at 3.8%, down 0.1% from the last poll done 30 April. That polling result by the SC is the lowest ever by the party, and passed the last low of 10.5% when the party first started as the Liberals back in 1851.

SC leader Fernando Chiovitti tried to stem the literal beat-down of his party by Green "success stories" by warning the Pacitalian people that by continuing to head from the SC to the Greens would effectively end the "true socialist" movement in Pacitalia and would signify the end of "multi-party politics where numerous parties have a say in government affairs". Ironically, the true socialist movement comment is seemingly lost on Chiovitti, most people polled that left the SC for the Greens say they made their defections because they felt the Greens were the new "true socialists" in Pacitalia.

Here are the latest poll results and estimated seat counts for the CLP and Senatoro:


Progressive Democrats |XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX| 52.2%
Green Party of Pacitalia |XXXXXXXXXXXXXX| 28.3%
Social Coalition |XXXX| 9.1%
Partia di Traditionale |XXX| 6.6%
Communist Party |XX| 3.8%

I hope the support for Progressive Democrats does not fall any further. It would be in no one's interest to see leftists influencing the agenda.

Nationalist Union - Republic Party Joint Statement


While I would never dream of interfering in the domestic affairs of any nation, let alone an ally and friend of the caliber of Pacitalia, I feel it necessary to state the support the Progressive Democrats enjoy within the Nationalist Union. The viewpoints of my party do not represent the official policy of the Grand Duchy, however as a private organization the Nationalist Union Party would like to extend a hand of friendship and understanding to our Progressive Democrat counterparts in Pacitalia.

While the Nationalist Union, and our Republic Party coalition partners, will continue to pursue the increasing of bonds between our two nations no matter the Pacitalian and Hamptonian domestic political landscape, we feel what could be described as a "kinship" to Prime Minister Ell and his supporters.

The Nationalist Union fully accepts that Pacitalian voters will make the choice appropriate for their nation. We, as well as all Hamptonians, will continue to stand by La Repubblica di Pacitalia without reservation.

May God bless the Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire and Long Live the Republic of Pacitalia.

[OOC: Yes, absorb the irony of a near ultra-right wing nationalist party endorsing a center/socially liberal party. There's actually a pretty good reason.]

I thank Signore Senatore Allenby and Signore Fredricks for their support of my election campaign and my party. I would be hard-pressed not to agree with your statements about our kinship and our political similarities.

As you said, may God bless the Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire and the Republic of Pacitalia.

Now, now, my friend, you know I have a substantial lead and barring some major scandal that won't happen from one of this country's most honest and accountable governments, I should be returned to power. Plus, it defeats the democratic beliefs we stand for.
