Volkspartei kicks off Election Campaign
Image
Now with less than a year to go, the Volkspartei has officially started their election campaign. At the VP Conference yesterday evening, the Top Brass of the party attempted to raise the spirits of their party and ready them for the election, something that didn't require that much effort. Many members of the Volkspartei - although realising the difficulty they face in taking down a Communist majority - are quite confident about how well their Party will do next year, and you could easily see the placards bearing the words "Kanzler Vanhanen" and "Prasident Tessel" in the crowd gathered at the rally.
First to speak was Finance Spokesperson Jyrki Tamsen. Tamsen told his fellow party members that the financial difficulties facing Dorvik could not be underestimated, and promised that at the forefront of any Cabinet Agreement will be massive investment in the Dorvish economy to ensure massive economic growth. He also said that it was absolutely unbelievable that over half of GDP came from the Government and not the Private Sector.

Other notable speakers included Justice Spokesperson Luitpold Weber - who spoke of the need to reform the Justice System of Dorvik to better suit the needs of both offenders and society - and the very charismatic Liesel Keller, Science and Technology Spokesperson. Keller took the stage with laughs and jokes, and that started a very interesting speech.
"Dorvik is the best. Let's not try and be modest, because it's one of the few things that we're awful at. If we want to invent something, we'll invent it. If we want to go to the moon, we'll build a rocket, and if we can't build a rocket we'll build a ladder. So let's do it, Dorvik! We're already the best, we can only get better!"

Former Party leader and Chancellor, and current candidate for President Mariah Tessel made a brief appearance, but of course the main attraction of the night was the speech of Pieter Vanhanen. Vanhanen approached the podium amid mass applause, and chants of "Van-Han-En" from the excitable crowd of supporters. As the applause finally subsided, he began by speaking very frankly and very seriously about the problems which had led to the VP leaving the longstanding coalition with the KPD. He spoke of the Darnussian Intervention, and how he believed Dorvik should go from here - that they should form part of a peacekeeping force, and should actively work to solve the dispute in such a nearby country.
However, he moved from there to speak lively about what the Volkspartei can do in Government, and egged his party on by declaring they could beat the KPD, that they could - for the first time ever - take the first place position if they push hard enough. He said nothing was impossible in Dorvik, and declared the people of Dorvik deserved better, and the Volkspartei could be that better. He ended by wishing all his candidates the best of luck, and said he looked forward to the Chancellor debates which he is sure will be coming up soon.
