OOC: I am just providing information, and no, I will not be making a poll for everyone to choose the outcome. I’ve always thought that was a stupid idea, but that’s just me… Also, this is not a Q&A thread for stances on things... my debate thread will be coming soon enough. However, support for one of the parties is welcome to be announced...
IC:
In a few months, ViZionarians will be voting once again for their next President. We have some very strong contenders this time around, unlike the last election.
Elections in ViZion have always had high voter turnouts. This one, however, is expected to have among the highest turnout ever. President Kilo is sitting this one out, his current term being his last.
John Lyon:
Party: Juris Naturalis
Main focuses: Education, humanitarian aid, ViZion first, economy, culture
Briefing: John Lyon is very similar to that of the late President Maybury - he preached that ViZion would stay out of other nations affairs unless genocide is committed. He also pledged to stay out of large, entangling alliance, but endorsed trading and vacationing. While Maybury did not stay true to that, it is what John is preaching for now.

Hiro “Chiefy the IX” Ando, IX

Briefing: A descendant of ViZion’s most popular president, Hiro “Chiefy” Ando, he is known to be nearly exactly like Chiefy - and very similar to the current President Tanner Kilo. He is outspoken, he is caring, but rather hard-nosed. Even so, he is known be to be very diplomatic, but if needed, he does not cower away from the use of force. He is also looking to improve upon ViZion’s already strong education system, while decreasing overall government spending by the billions. He plans to take away from the social welfare programs that are so widely abused by the government, as well as many immigrants. He plans to increase military spending.
