3rd IMPERIAL ELECTION

Shazbotdom
24-02-2006, 19:16
***OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DECREE***

By order of the 1st Imperial Emperor, Mr. Shaz Bot, the election process of the Pure Socialist Holy Empire was first started. Since then the Pure Socialist Holy Empire has gone through 2 different elections for the position of the Emperor.
The first election saw the beginning of the Galen Q. Leotardia administration, which set about the change the face of the Empire for years to come. From the creation of the Shazbotdom Marine Corps to the shifting of the Armed Forces to get rid of the extremely outdated Shazbotdom Army and Air Force, many changes have occured.
The second election saw the re-election of Mr. Galen Q. Leotardia and more changes to the nation. But it also saw tragedy. The blatant bombing of a military base during one of the many "Get To Know Your Military" days sponsored by the Shazbotdom Marine Corps. This caused the first major deployment of the Shazbotdom Marine Corps since it's inception. A brutal war waged on between Shazbotdom and Kahanistan until an inevitable peace treaty was signed. We also saw the creation of the Shazbodom Space Navy and the creation of several space faring ships to defend the nation more throughly.
Thus brings us to the 3rd Imperial Election, the current one. One thing that you will notice most about this one is the withdrawl of the Libertarian Party from this election. This is due to some instability within their organization as well as them refocusing their party to gain more seats within the Parlimentary Body of the Pure Socialist Holy Empire of Shazbotdom. We wish them good luck in their endevors in the future. The Democratic Party has changed their name for this Election, they are now calling themselves "Socialist Shazbot".

NOTE: The Natoinal Election has already taken place for this election. But the International Community is being asked politely to vote as their votes will be calculated in with the national votes through a complex intrainstitutional system.


ELECTION POSITIONS OF THE CANDIDATES

NONE
Libertarian – The Libertarians have withdrawn from the Imperial Emperor Election Process. They will continue to attempt to get people within the Parliamentary Body of the Pure Socialist Holy Empire. They believe that if they take control of the Parliamentary Body, they will take control of the Empire.


Gloria Z. Carlson (2nd Time in Election)
Socialist Shazbot – Believes in peace through negotiation. Will stop at nothing to help ensure peace through the art of negotiation. Believes that “Terrorists” are something that the Conservatives have thought up to make the common man scared for his life. Believes that the SCS Project was a waste of money for the Pure Socialist Holy Empire and will disband it if she is elected. She believes that a strong military is needed to be recognized by the International Community, but believes that the research into new ways to kill people is not needed. She says that she will disband the Shazbotdom Military Research and Development programs if she is elected to office.


Thomas K. Williamson (1st Time in Election)
Republican – Will use the Pure Socialist Holy Empire’s nuclear weapons to purge the threat of the Homosexuals and the Liberals from the world. Will pass legislation to ban a multitude of different things that the past administrations have made legal. Will deport anyone who isn’t white, for his motto is “If it isn’t white, it isn’t right.” Has been arrested several times for the murder of several Jewish people in one of the Shazbotdom Colonies.


George A. Loak (1st Time in Election)
Shazbotdom First – Believes in equality for all. Will continue to provide more rights for its civilians just like his predecessor. Believes that strength is by national pride as well as a well-funded military unit. He will do whatever it takes to make sure that the Pure Socialist Holy Empire stays as safe now as it has ever been.


Richard "Ricky" Harrington (2nd Time in Election)
Independent – The official political view of Mr. Harrington is that the Empire is getting too liberal and that there should be a balance between having more political and personal freedoms. He stated that he will make marriage between two males illegal but have marriage between two females legal. He has also stated that he will slaughter the Havoc and tear down the entirety of the rain forest and put up more and more coal power plants.


Amanda Bowerstone (1st Time in Election)
Independent – Believes that the political view of all the other candidates is too narrow-minded. The needs of the people should outweigh the needs of the government. Will do whatever it takes to protect the people of the Empire from any enemy that is encountered, weather it be foreign or domestic. Will ban any drugs, be it medicinal or recreational, aspirin or marijuana.

We would like to point out though that there can be no international monitary contribution for the election campaigns of the candidates. This is to help make sure that there is no international influence in the government operations of the Pure Socialist Holy Empire of Shazbotdom. We appologize for this inconvenience to the Government of North Mack. Although the thought of funding his campaign is a sign of good faith between allies.

The Government of Kahanistan strongly supports the candidacy of Mr. George A. Loak for the office of Emperor of Shazbotdom. His policies of equality, human rights, and internal security appear to be very similar to the ideologies that have been espoused by the Government of Kahanistan for decades.

Signed,
