Initial Report to DIC regarding Lodamun Political System by DIC Pontesi Team
To the DIC, the Security Council of the UNT, and the General Assembly of the UNT,
Pontesi have conducted an investigation into Lodamun including an inspection of latest election, examine the public archive of Lodamun Parliament, and interview of witness in Lodamun. We have come to a follow conclusion.
After examine the archive of the Parliament, we had concluded that Lodamun had conducted 29 elections from March 2734 to June 2756 which resulted in a ratio of less then 1 election per year. The length of a legislative and executive term according to the constitution is 6 years which contributed to our assumption that there is a severe problem in legislative system of Lodamun which resulted from this abused of election system by the executive. This leads to limited time for opponent politcal parties to express their view to the population, raising money for the campaign, and finding a candidates for the parliamentary election. All of this resulting in our conclusion that only a handful of peoples is even aware that there are another political parties besides the two parties in the cabinet which is then confirmed from out interview with 45 out of 50 interviewed can't name any other political parties besides the Free Peoples Leftist Party and The Liberal Party.
The parliamentary system had also been oppressed by a limitation of number of proposals that a party can introduce per year which is only one proposal and limited time to convene before the parliament is dissolved. This resulted in difficulty for new political party to express their view to the parliament and contributed to the consolidation of power by the Liberal Party in which their politcal view had already been established to the peoples before this shift is the system. We also concluded from an interview with several citizens in Lodamun that some of the government officials does not have political independence and acted in favour of the Liberal Party during the election and that the Liberal Party promised money for improvement plan only for the Republic that vote for their party.
While all of this oppression aganist democracy is a disappointment to our investigation team, we found no evidence of rape or torture by military and police personel that Voranan team had claimed. We also applauded the Republic's human right stand in all other issues beside of freedom of press and political parties and the economic development of the country.
Our conclusion is that Lodamun is a failed-democracy state and that UNTSC should suggested several change to the constitution which will allow greater political competition to Lodamun, requested that the government of Lodamun allows greater time for poltical parties to express their view and that the UNTSC be allowed to organized an observer team for the next election to ensure a free and fair election.
