As the era of divided government fades into memory with the passing of the Labour Party as a separate entity out of Kalistani Politics, and both Parties are fused organizationally into a single Party, the current Premier of the Republic, Premier Carrangus has called special elections, and has promised that "Left Kalistan" will be the future of Politics in the Republic.

"Long have we suffered the periodic interruptions in an otherwise regular trajectory toward a Leftist State.  That is over.  Following the Special Election we will move a bill which will fundamentally alter the Constitution of Kalistan and make our nation a single-Party state.  We will preserve internal differences-  the Founding caucuses of Left Kalistan, the Socialist Caucus and the Labour Caucus will form the back bone of the Republican Government going forward.  In the short term, our goal is to institutionalize the transition to single Party rule, but we also need to lock Kalistan's social libertarian principles in treaties, and ensure that a cultural census is completed as we adopt a cultural protocol.  Finally, we need to ensure that our efforts to obtain the Selayan seat in the World Congress are redoubled and we would like to reemphasize efforts to build ODEN worldwide.

"The changes we will see will be superficial.  We will still posses divided leadership at the top of the government due to a powersharing agreement between the Socialist and the Labour caucuses.  Our cabinet will maintain a divsion within as well.  But going forward, Kalistan will leave the notions of Liberal Democracy behind and reorient completely toward Kalistani Libertarianism and Ethical Socialism. 

"I would like to thank my Partners in the Labour Party, especially Speaker Lancaster and President Phillips for working on integration with the SP.  Their efforts have been invaluable to the smooth transition in the process, and we look forward to a new era of cooperation with Labour to ensure that the interests of Kalistan's workers are first and foremost in national legislation.  The time has come.  Its time for Kalistan to once and for all move Left."

Snap elections have been called for the end of the month, and the matter will be resolved within a month.

These are exciting times, and the transition period is expected to last 10 months.
