Monet the Redeemer
- GPLK make huge gains
- Looks favourite to form a government
- PUF Lead in Numineux cut drastically
- Monet praised as "the man who beat fascism"
Elouan Monet has led his party to considerable success in these elections, helping to bat back the fascist threat.
The GPLK have made huge gains within the Kanjorien Senate, after a very successful election campaign saw them double their vote, and place themselves in pole position to lead a new government into a more progressive era against fascism. Elouan Monet has been widely praised for his party's successes, and can now confidently say that the right wing shift paid off. Whilst they were unable to attain the Presidency, the GPLK have effectively prevented another fascist cabinet, in favour of a more liberal one.
The PUF prided themselves upon their strength in Numineux, however this election tested that, as the GPLK came a very close second, earning just one seat behind. This came as the party performed better in four out of the five States, with the only exception being La Tondelle, where they lost a singular seat. The party also gained governorship of Oléri État, which is the first time that they have controlled a State since their inception in 4232.
Meanwhile, the UPD floundered, and dropped seven seats, putting them, and also the Parti Socialist on 24 seats each. This shows a clear message that left wing politics is currently disliked within Kanjor, and that makes Monet's move seem all the more wise. By making the party appear more classical liberal than social liberal, it has helped shake off a centre-left tag that we can now see was the reason for the dramatic failings of the last election.
This election will be hailed as the first electoral success for Elouan Monet, who has managed to turn a party in crisis around in less than three years. Despite being an outsider going into the leadership election, he successfully defeated Tobie Moineau, and has been on the up since then. He became the first ever right wing politician to speak at the Socialist's Rally, and was the main opposition to the government throughout its Ministry. Consequently, it can only be him that this success is attributed to. His vocal opposition has won him supporters from both sides of the spectrum, and that has resulted in the GPLK's best result in terms of percentage of votes.
After the election, Elouan Monet spoke in front of an excited and jubilant crowd in Soulon:
People of Kanjor what a day we have had! Our rise has shown that people are sick and tired - even after just two-and-a-half years - of fascism. They do not want a totalitarian government. They want a government that offers them choice, freedom and expression. A government that allows them to make their own way in life. A government that wants to protect everyone - regardless of differences such as sexual orientation.
The PUF have been abominable, but I am glad to say that this should no longer remain the case. I have already initiated conversation between other parties,
and I am confident that they will share our vision to oust this fascist party. I will press for widespread national and international reform, and return Kanjor to the great nation it was.
You have spoken. You want civil rights. You want freedom. Well I promise you now: you shall get those things under a GPLK government. You shall get prosperity under a GPLK government. I promise to instigate globalism and capitalism. I promise to instigate protective measures that help the most marginal within our society. I promise to instigate action that cuts down on the economically and socially negative trade unions. I promise to deliver what this party believes in - and what you voted for.
I thank you sincerely for voting for us - I promise we will not let you down. God Bless You and all the People of Kanjor! Goodnight!
