Hanzhou, Shu: The Republicans have released their new party platform ahead of this year's election, hoping that increased exposure and new ideas will better the party's chances of gaining their home province of Shu back. The most surprising of these proposals is their nod to Shu independence, which is a topic rarely talked about among Indralans, however the party seems to be aiming at a particular sector of the electorate with this policy proposal. The party has preserved its Xuan Shuren era approach to eduction, hoping that exposing the young to advanced trades and engineering training will bring more employers into the sector which has been struggling to find workers. Their proposed cuts to healthcare are consistent with legislation that was passed during the Xiandai scandal era, when several Republican cabinet ministers resigned immediately after passing radical bills that otherwise would have never had the approval of their leader. This stark turn to the right has many people concerned about the impact of a Republican government, however the party has a lot of confidence in their leader and his ability to lead them to victory, assuming Mr. Zhang can leave the hospital soon and start early campaigning for the party. In the meantime, Food and Agriculture critic Kang Yuhan is serving as temporary leader until Zhang Zemin is released from hospital.

More to come…
