The time had come again. It had been 4 years since David Foulke had been elected as Prime Minister for a second term, and yet another term in office for the Ustian Labour Party. That could all change over the coming months though. Foulke was retiring from Politics, and a new rising star in the Labour party was poised to oppose the current Deputy-Prime Minister who would be standing for office. The Ustian Conservative Coalition was also ready to make a comeback, as the Ustian Nationalist Party.
