Denecaep is having one of its frequent elections once again, and the popular President Billson is looking at another term. But it will all come down to the vote...

Here are the candidates...

Liberal Party
Presidential Candidate: President Billson
President Billson has been reelected several times, and obviously has a lot of experience as a president. He pulled Denecaep out of its depression twelve years ago, and has kept the economy fairly steady. He lets the states decide abortion laws, believes in staying in the Stoklomolvi-GWO war, and believes in selling off the country's oil, and continuing to go completely alternative energy.
Vice Presidential Candidate: Vice President Dong
Has always been Billson's vice president, has same opinions, but believes that abortion should be allowed throughout the country.

Conservative Party
Presidential Candidate: Senator Steel
Senator Steel has also a lot of experience, and has worked mostly on reforming transportation. He is Pro-life completely, and says that we should leave the war. He thinks we should go back to progressively using oil.
Vice Presidential Candidate: Representative Oompla
The first Oompa-Loompa to run for a major public office. Believes in extending civil rights to the maximum, and lowering political freedoms, as he believes they are too high.

Communist Party
Presidential Candidate: General Jaan
There are questions whether he is an actual citizen. He plans to turn Denecaep directly communist, after... getting rid of the Socialist party candidates.
Vice Presidential Candidate: Sergeant Suunamy
She has even more experience than Jaan, and is a very strict military officer. Plans to add 10% funding to military

Centralist Party
Presidential Candidate: Mayor Stuffing
Plans to abolish the "states" and make all areas under control of national government. Wants to enlarge borders through trade. Has been on a city council for 5 years, not much experience
Vice Presidential Candidate: Mayor Urthkwake
Main goal is to establish colonies. No real experience, but has been mayor for three months. Founded the RCM (Restrictions on colony militias) which made it even harder for colonies to develop their own militias.

Good Party
Presidential Candidate: Billy-Bob Joe the Hobo
No experience, and the vp will do away with him. Billy-Bob is just part of a plot to make CEO Bucks president.
Vice Presidential Candidate: CEO Johnson Bucks
Rich guy trying to buy his way to the presidency. Will give Billy-Bob much money to "disappear" if he is elected president. Will follow the CEO and white-collar opinion for laws.

Descriptions will be added to as time passes and events occur.

Each of the candidates are put into a room, and asked the same basic question...
"How will you help Denecaep's economy?"

Billson- "We must keep things the same way they are now, and they will get progressively better. No major changes must be made.

Steel- "We need to stop being so environmental, and put more funding into fossil fuels. It is costing us big time!"

Jaan- "The whole government must be changed. We need a new system. One word: Communism."

Stuffing- "My plan is simple enough also. All we have to do is focus all of our government's powers in the national government. Abolish the concept of states."

Joe- "Define economy... and help... and who is Deeneecup?"

Communist party representative Jaan issues a speech, with a certain line all over the news.

"As president, elections will be outlawed, and the Denecaepian people can finally know their leader will be trustworthy!"

The Denecaep Public Debate starts.
All questions for any candidate are free, at any time.
