NKP Succeeds with Massive Victory in ElectionsPushes for ReformNOTE: This article is dated to December, 2796Chairman De Vries Speaks to Supporters at Victory Press ConferenceFort Bartlet, Vahama- After struggling to stay afloat and in the public eye for 7 years, the New Capitalist Party (Nieuwe Kapitalistische Partij/NKP), has received a massive victory in the People's Assembly. The NKP received 68% of the votes, with 51 seats, and New Democracy, the long standing majority party, received the remaining 32%, with 24 seats. The NKP's victory is accredited to it's Capitalist ideology, with freedom and federalism at the front of it's agenda. The NKP had long spoken on cultural relighting in Vanuku.
NKP Chairman, Willem De Vries had this to say on the victory, "This is truly a great day for Vanuku! The Vanukese people have long been ruled by the one-party dictatorship by New Democracy. We have come to relieve that dictatorship, and reform Vanuku. We have long been ignored culturally and diplomatically, being compared to having as much culture as "Fermented alligator piss". Now is the time for that to change! With having over 2/3rds of the majority now, we can push through cultural reforms even in New Democracy disagrees or fails to have it's representatives vote on the agenda! Today is a grand day for Vanuku!"
Vanukese Reform On The TableFort Bartlet, the People's Assembly, Vahama- After gaining it's needed 51 seats, the NKP quickly moved to propose new reforms, including, but not limited to:
A New flag
New Term Lengths
A Presidential System
New cultural names for government bodies
A new national anthem
The abolishment of the Monarchy
NKP board chair, Dr. Karl Schlaback commented on the proposed constitutional reforms, "We really see these as necessary, our flag is an international joke, our anthem is borderline plagerised, our culture is non-existent, and the Eternal Lord falls short of being a petty puppet dictator for New Democracy." Wehen asked about his comments on Eternal Lord Charles III, Dr. Schlaback went onto say, "Our current constitution sets the head of state, the Eternal Lord of Vanuku as being symbolic and heriditary, which is sort of a waste in the NKP's eyes, BUT it goes onto say that ONLY the head of state can propose a cabinet, so that eternally puts New Democracy, who somehow controls the cabinet, in control of the cabinet, simply furthering their stranglehold over the nation. We want to see that whole system gone, replaced by a presidential system, where we have the First Chancellor of the Republic in place as Head of State AND head of government, a rare move on Terra."
