Fort William - As Luthori is currently preparing for a General Election, the ruling Conservatives’ chances at a renewed mandate are becoming increasingly low, with the National Labour Coalition and the Liberal Party making substantial gains in polls last months, in the aftermath of a seeming government “inactivity” by the Conservative administration. Last months were described as “unusually calm” by many government employees, who were shocked to find out that most of their jobs were focused around handling some bureaucratic work. The Prime Minister has been unavailable for some time now and many suspect that the increased role of the Foreign Secretary within the Cabinet, who has been appointed as Deputy Prime Minister only some weeks ago, comes from a concern for the Prime Minister’s health. Although, it should be noted that the Prime Minister has been frequently appearing in campaigns all throughout the countryside, to boost confidence in the current administration in the closing stages of the Campaign Trail.
In recent polling, the National Labour Coalition has seen an increase in their overall popularity over the years, a surge which went hand in hand with the Prime Minister and his government’s rising unpopularity with the Luthorian public. Today, Labour is projected to win 319 seats, two seats shy from the Prime Minister’s electoral landslide during the General Election of 5554, triggered due to an Dissolution of Parliament request made to Her Majesty by the Prime Minister, who, at the time, was feeling confident that the governing party, the Conservative Party, had a solid public backing after 2 years of “solid and good governance” by his Government. Yet, for the last few years, it seems that everything went downhill for the Tory government. Results became scarce and the administration’s record of scandals went up, from their inability to capture the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Bravo in Lourenne due to failings in collaboration between the Luthorian and Canrillaise security agencies, to corruption scandals which led to the resignations of some small ministers and plummeted the Conservative overall support in the general election, which has been running between 25 % and 30 % ever since.
In contrast, this general election is likely going to be the big victory of the National Labour Coalition, which sits, as for now, at 38.6 % of voting intentions, with young voters being the most enthusiastic about voting for the NLC, around 70 % of future first-voters (aged 18 at the time of the elections) are stating their preference for the Labour. While older generations tend to favour the ‘status-quo’ represented by the Conservatives. It should also be stated that old voters are also going to vote, while not in a majority, but in a sizable minority for the National Labour Coalition, around 37 % of them say that their choice is within the National Labour’s candidates. Middle-aged demographics are also quite divided on the issue, with gender political orientation making themselves more shown in this age class, with male voters being more favourable to either the Liberals or the Conservatives, with 35 % stating that their vote will be Conservative, while women are mostly voting for Labour candidates, with 40 % of women between 25 and 59 stating that they would vote Labour at the next election.
The National Labour Coalition has been running a campaign on the theme of “Building More, Better”, stating that the Tories’ lengthy reign in Crown Street caused the nation to “falter into immobilism”, and that only a new mandate, given to a new party would “lead the nation out of this immobilism” and “build new heights for the Empire to build itself upon”, the National Labour Coalition’s Chairman, Douglas Hug, has been stated as being the man behind this electoral strategy, appealing to the Luthorian public’s tiresome feelings towards the Conservatives and their will for change. The Leader of the National Labour Coalition is Mr. Steven Carol, a member of the Labour-Right wing, a moderate and charismatic leader, who stirred the Party towards his ideology of “Carolism”, a moderate and mostly interchangeable ideology, but also remaining committed to the left–wing causes of social progressivism, pacifism and economic equality. Mr. Carol ran a lengthy campaign which focused around the needs of the “Other Luthori”, the Luthori which is not shown in the media, a “Luthori of poverty”, which enlightened the buried issue of wealth inequality within the Empire, Mr. Carol denounced in his first campaign speech an hypocrisy from the Conservatives.
Mr. Carol’s campaign, attacking the mistakes done by the Conservatives during their numerous terms in office, was dubbed by the Workers’ Newspaper as being the “most efficient campaign done in a century”, as the National Labour continued to draw its advance in comparison to the lagging Tories. In other subjects of society, Mr. Carol’s campaign was also able to draw confidence in a governing National Labour, with subjects which were traditionally dominated by the Tories flipping to Labour, subjects such as foreign policy or the economy are now seeing more and more people supporting Labour’s plans than for the Conservatives’ economic plans. Labour calling for a reform to the current status-quo of the Tories’ imposed “State Capitalist” system, they are calling for the creation of a full-blown welfare state, with comprehensive pension and healthcare reforms to allow for the creation of that said state. Finally, as expected from the Labour Party, they are also calling for the implementation of more progressive policies at the societal level and have also written a quite controversial take on institutional reform, the Imperial Senate’s Reform, which, if the Labour Party do not get a majority into, would be impossible to reform, as per with parliamentary protocol of equality between the Houses of Parliament.
A Labour-led Luthori may not be an impossibility very soon, dear readers.

Quote:“They said that this nation has never been wealthier than today. They say that poverty has been extinguished from our nation, they say that no Luthorian today is begging on the streets for a little penny, which would be for their very own living. The Tories are lying. They are lying. In my constituency alone, when I came, there were already 2 beggars up in my office asking for a penny. In numerous roads in Fort William, even in front of Darlington Palace or in front of the Orange Palace, beggars, poor people were lying on the streets, waiting to be picked up by the police. If they were lucky enough, they would go on to a homeless centre, if they were not. It would be, yet again, their everyday life. This is a hypocrisy that this Party and this Nation cannot let pass. We must, by the sheer effort of all Luthorians, create a platform where every single one of our fellow countrymen would be allowed to live a decent life without the fear of one day being forced out in the streets.”
