Campaign Season kicks off as Monlam Aurousseau and Karma face off in the polls; A Fresh Revolution versus A Modern Socialism.

With the February Elections closing in rapidly, the campaign season has been fairly event, with most of the spotlight being on Monlam Aurousseau as he was able to win the CPX Primaries earlier this summer, gaining notable media attention due to his "council communist" label, and the other half of the spotlight being on Karma from XIP, especially over his Entrepreneurial Socialism. It's rare for elections to see such polar opposites on both sides of the aisle, but 5620 is going to be one of those elections.

For the CPX and Aurousseau, he's made his campaign clear that if elected, he will push heavily to enact a worker centric agenda and strengthen worker councils to ensure that they define the economy, instead of Social Enterprises. As his campaign motto hints, "A Fresh Revolution", Aurousseau would certainly look to redefine socialism in Xsampa. However, equally there are concerns that his election would be too far of a bridge into Metzist Theory, and critics and skeptics have countered Aurousseau by stating that his election would be prioritizing theory over practical reality. It's also no secret that most of the CPX is hesitant to support the New Line wing of the CPX, a wing that Aurousseau is from. But if elected, perhaps the New Line will be vindicated.

For Xsampa Improvement, Karma has campaigned heavily on improving the efficiency of socialism and the economy, and strengthing Social Enterprises, believing that a Modern Socialism can serve as an example to the world. Befitting his campaign motto, "A Modern Socialism, a Modern Xsampa", Karma is looking to focus on what socialism can do. However, equally, he's faced criticism due to his platform being arguably right wing (for foreign readers, right wing within Xsampan Political Contexts), if not, the most right wing Premier candidate in modern Xsampan history. And if elected, would face an uphill struggle in PAX. 

Early polling shows a fairly even lead between the two, with Left-Green Dovani behind, but it is also worth noting that if elections were held at this very moment, the ISDP would surpass the SLP (currently at 37 seats in PAX), which has garnered attention. But like any election, things can change rapidly and radically. But it's clear that the results will likely be between Aurousseau and Karma, with Left-Green Dovani being relegated to coalition status and continuing the Red-Green Revolution.
