Campaign for 5650 begins; An independent dares to run.

May 25th, 5649
---------------------------------
Elections loom next February and many are expecting a victory for the CPX because of the DDF fiasco. But that hasn't stopped enthusiasm for various parties in running. Comrade Ringzin has chosen not to run, and as such, the CPX has instead looked to nominate current Peoples Commissar of the People's Committee of Economic Management, Comrade Thekchen Trottier, advocating for infrastructure developments, such as expanding the Xsampan Rail Network, highway developments, and continuing industrial modernizations. Focusing on not rocking the boat but providing enough change to captivate voters, the CPX is looking to run a relatively safe campaign.

The Socialist Labour Party has been licking its wounds since the Yeshi Administration imploded, and has been campaigning on the premise of expanding diplomatic overturns to various countries, rural commune development, and expanding the education budget. A bold, but restrained campaign. Comrade Khetsun Nepali was quickly nominated by the SLP and is looking to become the next Premier.

For the minor parties, while most Xsampans haven't forgotten the DPP and the disaster that they were, it hasn't stopped the minor parties from campaigning enthusiastically. The EPP has looked to surprisingly campaign with Sangtsa Dovani, calling for an ecological Pan-Dovani agenda, continuing the Red-Green Revolution en masse, supporting green movements across Dovani and expanding environmental protections. Being led by Comrade Norzin from the EPP.

The FLP, SWP, XFL and DPP are still worth noting (and legally we have to give them the spotlight) but have run a relatively orthodox campaign. FLP has ran on agrarian socialism, and supporting city farms. The Social Workers Party has ran on a conservative platform, looking to question existing Fair Trade Agreements with the West, and revoking the legality of marijuana. The DPP has more so been running an apology tour than a genuine campaign, trying to redefine itself and move on from Yeshi.

But the most surprising aspect of this election is an independent is running. An independent hasn't ran since the One Party Era, where those independents were still aligned with the CPX. This independent, Tenzin Fortier has chosen to run a populist insurgent campaign, calling for outproducing the debt, economic development across the country, and "protecting revolutionary sovereignty". Comrade Fortier has been eccentric to say the least. While most don't expect Fortier to win Premier, many expect him to enter PAX. But he has been quite controversial as opponents have called his campaign unserious. Others have questioned his ego and his patriotism for Xsampa. 

Whatever the case, we wish all candidates the best of luck. Whether it be the CPX, SLP or anyone else, this election will certainly be interesting after the Yeshi disaster.
