New Horizon Coalition re-elected; Xsampan democracy solidified.

-------------------------
February 14th, 5630
-------------------------
The 5630 elections have concluded with specular results. Due to governing for the past 5 years with competence, many expected the SLP to be rewarded and those expectations were met. The current New Horizon Coalition, consisting of the Socialist Labour Party, Farmer-Labour Party and the Ecological People's Party have prevailed once more, allowing the Ladakh Government to govern for another 5 years. Despite the results, this election did have a few shocks.

Before we get into that, Comrade Ladakh has continued on for a 2nd term as Premier, pledging to reform the nations immigration system, continue the Red-Green Revolution, and continue the open-door foreign policy. Her victory has certainly been cheered on by SLP, EPP and FLP voters. As candidates from the CPX, SWP, DPP and XFL give concession speeches, it's clear that the SLP is defining Xsampa after Comrade Bhutia.

In any case, the results themselves are worth looking over. While the New Horizon Coalition made gains, the most fascinating aspects came with the decline of 3 parties. First, the DPP. Many expected them to only grow, much to the worry of moderates who feared that the DPP may be too radical or even that their form of "Socialist Liberalism" is in fact too close to capitalist liberalism. It only made sense, they did fantastic during 5625. And yet? They suffered a solid defeat, losing several seats in PAX. It's safe to say that the SLP siphoned reformists away from them. The next is the XFL, which suffered a major decrease, pushing them to a meek 2 seats. Exit polls suggest that union voters went to the SWP and SLP over the XFL. It's hard to say if this is just the result of a lackluster campaign or a sign. The last is the CPX. While in the first elections, they were the biggest party, they have lost that title, being reduced to 2nd biggest. While by all means still influential, the fact that they weren't able to secure a victory has raised some alarm bells among more cynical voters who think that the CPX may not be able to mount a return.

In any case, it's clear that Xsampans want another 5 years of Comrade Ladakh and moderate socialism. Another 5 years of calm stability and gradual reforms.
