Elections held amidst rising economic woes; Far-Left prevail in elections on a nationalistic platform.

In an increasingly turbulent time for the nation, elections are always an opportunity to fix what doesn't work and try what could work. The marketplace of ideas if you will. As the economy remains a major concern for many within the nation, many have come to offer solutions. And it seems that amidst a rather chaotic election cycle with several parties running, an unexpected victor has come about. But before that, let's review what exactly is going on for those out of the loop.
The economy is the biggest issue. The economy of Utari Mosir is in shambles and many are yearning for fixes. Some have proposed free market reforms, other have advocated for planned economic reforms. This has led to many ideas on how to fix it, but currently no application of those ideals.
As such, going from right to left, we find ourselves looking at the Union of Conservative Democrats, advocating drastic austerity and free market reforms to kickstart the economy. The UCD has proposed creating an economy that could be attractive to foreign investors and a strict budget to cut down any deficit. The ideals of laissez-faire economics have been proposed and endorsed by the UCD adamantly.
Moving onto the next party that had appeal, the Progressive Change Coalition, advocating for a more natural resources approach, and approaching the WDU for economic assistance, essentially creating a market via what few natural resources the nation has and supplying the WDU with it. The liberal conservative party has advocated for free market reforms as well naturally.
Moving to the centre, the Democratic Action Party has advocated for a full liberal minded approach to the economy, calling for gutting regulations, embracing the free market, and privatization of state assets. Essentially trying to combine both the approach of the UCD and PCC, the DAP has pushed for strong classical liberalism and create an economy that can adequately suit the needs of Utari Mosir.
Onto the left, the Social Democrats have advocated for a more middle ground approach, advocating a mixed economy and taking the best from a planned economy and the free market, utilizing natural resources to create funds for the state and employment for the nation to provide basic relief and get the economy back up with jobs.
The final major party is an extreme, the far-left Revolutionary Worker's and Peasants Party advocating for a staunch planned economic approach, mass industrialization, exploitation of natural resources and redistribution of wealth from "upper class" and foreign assets.
Despite initial predictions favouring the PCC or the Social Democrats, it would seem the extreme RWPP has prevailed and been elected with a comfortable majority in the National legislature. As such, the coming years are expected to be quite chaotic as is the case with socialism and we'll see quite possibly the transition to a socialist state should the RWPP decide to commit to it. A worrying thought. But more eerily has been the silence of the military which is not too welcoming of extremism, let alone socialism. Maybe that's a good thing for the new president, Yukimura Anzai. All we can do is hope the people made a good choice, and didn't hand over Utari Mosir to the reds.
