In a stunning victory set to go down as a major watershed moment for the nation, the mordusian people, seemingly tired and frustrated amidst the decades of failure under conservative rule, have rejected the nation’s conservative establish and have handed the social democratic Mordusian Labour Party (MLP) an absolute landslide victory in the nation’s most recent general election. In the build-up to the general election, broad dissatisfaction with the nation’s decades-old conservative government had reared its head, amounting to major protests against the then administration of Teezo's Mordusian Party, amidst its failure to address the numerous challenges facing the nation including the cost of living, unemployment, social equality, crime and criminality etc. Much of this dissatisfaction boiled over during a major march against the then government on the Prime Minister’s House in Randworth, where thousands of demonstrators marched around the building’s perimeter demanding the Prime Minister’s resignation and the initiation of early election proceedings. Last night’s complete rejection of the conservative establishment represented the final act against the conservative government, bringing to its completion; more than two decades of what many describe as the “painful, disheartening toil of conservative governance.” Amidst the otherwise dubious precedent of their appointment, numerous political scientists have noted that although the Labour Party’s victory was momentous, it had largely been made possible owing to a greater disgust in the nation’s previous government than it had been a genuine interest for the party’s policies. Throughout the campaign trail, political leader of the Labour Party and now Prime Minister-designate of Mordusia, Addison Bennett has attempted to make a yeoman case for the party’s election to governance. Among the party’s main policy proposals, Bennett advocated for a complete overhaul of the nation’s macroeconomic foundation with an eye on developing stronger, more resilient economies alongside introducing new/emerging industries to the nation. She noted that amidst the lack of general interest in addressing many of the core challenges facing the nation, Mordusia had fallen behind numerous regional and international partners. She noted that owing to the previous government’s “graft incompetence”, the nation’s otherwise stable relationship with Luthori had seemingly faltered, virtually disregarding the yeoman work done by the decades-inactive New Conservative People's Party whom she described as “the only conservative party within Mordusian history worth defending.” The MLP’s landslide victory in both the House of Representatives and the Senate has brought excitement to those involved in the constitutional reform sphere as alongside the party’s policies on macroeconomic restructuring, Bennett also championed broad constitutional reforms aimed at empowering the states to have greater autonomy/control over their respective affairs alongside a revitalised relationship with Luthori. Beyond the party’s landslide victory in the Federal Parliament, the MLP’s state branches have swept control within their respective state parliaments, solidifying the party’s grip over the nation. Amidst the resounding victory, there have been calls for a general meeting between the Prime Ministers and the newly-elected Premiers in a style/fashion mirror similar meetings in Lodamun. Speaking to well-wishers at the party’s headquarters in Kimberly, Bennett stated that the party was prepared to lead the nation into a new era of progress, noting that the era of small, disinterested government had come to an end, replaced by a new era of enhanced government involvement in the economy.
