ERIK PLOBII'S SUICIDE SHOCK THE RSF

Today, Senator Erik Plobii was found dead in his apartment. His death was caused by an obvious suicide via hanging and sa suicide note saying: ''The hardest part of this is accepting my defeat and weak will.

RSF Leader Eduard Schwarz almost got a heart attack when he heard about this from his daughter. Mr. Schwarz said this to the media:

'I am really, really, really spiritualy crushed by this suicide. He was such a good friend and a good person. He never wromged any of his friends and RSF comrades. He never betrayed me unlike a lot of people in my life. He helped my daughter out with her literature studies. He did a lot. And it is very sad that at the age of 31 Erik had to go. What is sadder - the fact that everybody knew he was severly depressed aand wanted to die but nobody did anything to stop him wor wishing so and doing so. Including me. I am sorry.'

President Gloria O'nnel said with tears on her eyes:

'Today we lost a man who wanted to achieve great things. He was a dreamer. He was a friend. He was a great strategist. He had a vision for things, although this vision was exteme. I am deeply affected by the death of Erik Plobii who was my best friend, He helped me go through a lot. He was there for me. He was there for anyone who he cared for but nobody was there for him. Clearly, no one did enough to help him. I wish him to find the peace he was constantly looking for.'

This was the song Plobii listened to before hanging himself:

"WE LOST A TRUE VISIONARY TODAY"

Erik Plobii's suicide has caused shock waves to reverberate across the political world, as all pay their respects to one of the most influential politicians of the decade, who will be remembered as a passionate and dedicated speaker and activist.

Emrys Reinhallt, who was planning to use today as a launch for the PLN/NLP's first bill this government, sidelined that to talk about Erik Plobii's sudden and tragic death.

Argument in the world of politics is the norm. Fiery tempers, and passionate debates are commonplace. However, fundamentally all politicians want to change their country, and their world, for the better. For the stakes to be so high within politics, is to show that the politician is dedicated to the betterment of our country. None more so than Erik Plobii. For we have lost a true visionary today. Now is not the time to argue about his vision, but to remember that he wanted a better Aloria - as we all do, and that he went above and beyond the call of duty to try and achieve what he believed in. His candour, and passion are traits that will inspire all of us in our lives, that we shall now have to live without him.

When I first met him, I was struck by his devotion, and his will of iron. He was a man who I knew immediately would not take no for an answer. It is important in politics that we keep challenging our own beliefs, and to see his unique, and beautiful plan for the future of Aloria in the brief time I knew him has helped me appreciate that many in this country are not happy with the vision that myself, and my party have laid out. The President rightly described him as a "dreamer". However what was important about Erik is that he acted upon his dreams. It is now our duty, as the living, to act upon our own dreams, like he did with his, so to honour and consecrate his memory.

RIP Senator Erik Plobii 4248-4271

MAREDUDD RHYDDERCH TELLS RADIO SHOW HE WILL RUN IN 4281

Speaking to a radio show, Maredudd Rhydderch said he plans to run in the presidential election in 4281. He talked about a number of issues, including the ALP's Education Bill's failure.

Hello Maredudd, as you know Alorian politics has been hit by the news of Erik Plobii's suicide recently. We've already heard you pay tribute to his life. Is there anything else you would like to say about the saddening situation?

Of course, it is a saddening situation and I have expressed condolences to those who are closest to him. I think it is troubling that he didn't receive the help he should have. He wasn't your typical politician. As Reinhallt said, he was a true visionary. It is sad to see the loss of a visionary politician. I have always said that Gerald Wehnert is my political inspiration, and the reason I say that is because he is a visionary - just like Plobii. So maybe I can add Erik Plobii to the list of visionary politicians that inspire me to press ahead with my vision for Aloria, because all Plobii wanted, just like me, is to make Aloria a better place.

Exactly, it is a sad situation. Do you think this will reduce tensions between your party and the RSF?

I think so, I really do. In respect of Erik's life, I think it would be the best thing. We all have different visions of Aloria, and sometimes tensions can rise, but we need to now debate in a calmer, more sensible manner.

We all hope for a more reasonable style of politics in the future. Moving on to matters in the Senate, how do you feel about the progress of your party's bills?

Well currently the Justice Bill is being voted upon in the Senate, but unfortunately it looks like we're going to lose that one. We are disappointed because it brings back the death penalty for the very most serious crimes, which is something I think the majority of Alorians agree with. It also gives local governments more power. My party and I strongly believe in federalism so we're naturally we are extremely disappointed by the way the vote is going.

What about your other bills? The Education Reform Bill for example.

Obviously, again, we are disappointed. It is a shame the government is not interested in improving the opportunities available to Aloria's future workforce.

Do you not think you should should a tad more compromise with other parties in the Senate?

Look, we tabled a bill detailing plans to help our country's future workforce. To help ordinary Alorian people. It is not our fault that other parties in the Senate wish to quell the dreams of Aloria's future.

This week, Gerald Wehnert said the ALP's future is completely dependent on your ability to get "ordinary" people back on the ALP's side. He even went as far as saying the ALP will die if you fail in your ambitions of galvanising the working-classes. Do you agree with him?

Gerald Wehnert is absolutely correct that the next few years are going to be vital to the ALP's future survival. The last couple of elections have seen our vote share decrease and decrease. Let me just say that this is not Gerald's fault. He had to make difficult decisions, and he always made the correct decisions. Unfortunately, being in government can cause you to look like the establishment. It is now my job to prove to the ordinary, working people that we are on their side and we always have been. I think they will realise that after another two and a half years of this government.

Are you saying you don't support the current right-wing government?

We are in opposition so it is our job to challenge them. I will support them at times but I don't think they are making as much progress as they should have by now. If this continues, the Alorian electorate will punish them in 4281.

Will you be running for the presidency in 4281?

Yes, I will be the ALP candidate-

Sorry to interrupt Maredudd but surely it is best for the Right to run one candidate. I can't see the other parties on the right supporting an ALP candidate after your party's recent election results. Why not support the AFP candidate?

No, I want to prove to the Alorian people that I am on their side. I will run for the presidency. I will not support any other candidate in the first round. Possibly in the second round, but right now I am solely focused on making Aloria great.

THIS ELECTION SHOWS THERE IS NO ROOM IN ALORIAN POLITICS FOR THE CENTRE


Supporters of the RSF and President O'nnel had a victory march through Sildar Urbem

After a surprising and resounding win for the RSF in the Senate elections and another victory for O'nnel in the presidential election, Alorian politics is more polarised than ever. The three parties with the highest increase in their vote share this election were the RSF, ALP and Partei für neue Wege. The RSF, a far-left party, is the only party to win over 40% of the vote in decades. The ALP saw an increase in their vote share by 6% under the leadership of Mareuddd Rhydderch, who is potentially even more radical than Gerald Wehnert was. Then there is the Partei für neue Wege, a relatively new party, who are not part of the political establishment. They will bring new ideas to Alorian politics. It is clear the Alorian people voted against the centrism of the PLN/NLP, Demokratishce Allianz and Plaid Tirgwyryfaidd Brodorol. The Labor Party, a party which has always been hard to place on the political spectrum, but is seen as broadly centrist, yet again saw a decrease in their seats.

The anomaly here is the AFP. They received 12% less votes than last election, winning only 87 seats. This could be down to the decision to run John Seth as their presidential candidate. Despite this, the AFP still maintains its large profile within Alorian politics. It is clear that the centrist parties have been punished by the Alorian electorate. This will give the radical left and radical right hope they can continue with their gains.

The question for the president is now whether she will continue with her non-interventionist approach to government or more actively intervene and assert her authority. The country gave the RSF a mandate to continue with their radical left agenda. However, while President O'nnel won, she did so by a smaller margin than in 4277. While the RSF made huge gains, the president did not. She should recognise this, and it should worry her. No president has won three terms consecutively since the 4230s, so if President O'nnel is going to achieve this in 4285, she should realise she has to move to the left. She will have to be more like her party - radical, brash and uncompromising.


Maredudd Rhydderch celebrated the election results in a pub in central Sildar Urbem

For the ALP, they will surely be hoping to build on this election. They have achieved very good results in comparison to 4273 and 4277, but they are still short of where they want to be. Gerald Wehnert said before the 4277 election anything less than 70 seats would be a failure; in that election they only won 19 seats. This election, Rhydderch refused to give a target but did say he wanted to make "significant gains". In the end, they won 54 seats - 35 more than in 4277. Nevertheless, this is still short of the 70 target set by Wehnert in 4277. If less than 70 was a failure in four years ago, surely it has to be classed as a failure today? This election is progress for the ALP, but it is only a small step. Maredudd Rhydderch will be cautiously optimistic, but there are still problems for the party. How are they going to challenge the rise of the far-left? How are they going to overtake the AFP to become the largest right-wing party in Aloria? Finally, how are they going to win the presidency? It is hard to win the presidency without endorsement from other parties. Rhydderch has done nothing to help build bridges between the ALP and other parties in recent years. It is hard to see a situation where any party will endorse Rhydderch for the presidency in 4285.

SNAP AFP CAUCUS TO BE HELD FOR LEADERSHIP

The Central Executive Committee of the AFP has called for caucuses to be held to determine who will fill the role of Leader. Dissatisfaction among the party's base after losing 66 seats in the Senedd has shown the party its second lowest showing in Alorian elections since its founding. AFP leader Arthur Bundefeller will be running for the spot, defending his incumbent position in the party. Senator George Llewellyn will again be running for the position. Llewellyn has gained popularity in the last 4 years among the party's populist and federalist wing, and is said to be the favorite among a party elite which has grown dissatisfied with inaction of the Bundefeller leadership.

The AFP also lost the presidential race, running former PM and former AFP leader Seth John for the position. While it is reported from within the AFP that some among the party's high brass would like to see John in the leadership position again, his defeat at the polls in the second round to incumbent Gloria O'nnel of the RSP has dashed any hopes of his return. However, John has not been shy in his support for Llewellyn in the caucus.

"George is a great guy," said John in a recent interview. "He's been with the party awhile and has a good head on his shoulders. "Leader Bundefeller has done great work, but it's time for a change after our most recent loss."

RIOTS TAKE PLACE ACROSS ALORIA



Rioters, angry at the government's Alorian Commune (3) Bill have taken to the streets and have been unleashing chaos across the nation. The rioters, many are AFP and ALP members, are angry at the government's communist agenda. The police, who are also unhappy with the government's failed budget which would have made severe cuts to policing, have been struggling to deal with the amount of rioters. Many ALP politicians have supported the rioters, although some have said more peaceful options should have been the preferred option. ALP Leader Maredudd Rhydderch said he supports all peaceful protests and, while he doesn't agree with rioting, "100% sympathises with their concerns". Rhydderch said the current government is a "communistic mess" which, by passing the Commune Bill, is on an "economic suicide mission". Former president Gerald Wehnert has said he will return to politics if the current government continues to act in this manner.

The most serious riots are taking place in Sildar Urbem, the city where the RSF was weakest at the last election, however riots are happening in every major city in Aloria. Some of the rioters are calling for an early election to let the people decide whether they have faith in the communist government. Speaking at a peaceful protest in Freiheit, Maredudd Rhydderch said the government are hurting the people that voted for them. He called for the Labor Party to resign all of their cabinet positions immediately to bring down the government, ensuring an early election is called.


Maredudd Rhydderch addressing protesters in Freiheit

The economy is facing uncertainty since the passing of the Commune Bill, causing foreign investment fall dramatically. Many economists are also saying unemployment will rise, productivity will fall, and Aloria will suffer a skills shortage as the very best talent emigrates due to the imposed salary cap. Wages are projected to fall, and poverty could soon rise. Unless something is done quickly, the future of Aloria looks chaotic and hopeless.

THE ELECTION GAVE COMMUNISTS MORE POWER

The recent election has been a disaster for anti-communists, and a huge success for the far-left. The RSF and Kommunistisk Partiya will be extremely happy. Yes, the RSF has lost seats, but after the recent riots it is still a huge victory to still be the largest party by quite a distance. The RSF-Labor government have also defended their majority excellently. This is the best result Labor has had their best election for a decade, and it is the first election they have made gains since 4262.

Despite this, the government's majority is now very small. They now have a majority of 9, compared to 64 before the election. However, a lot of polls were showing the government would lose their majority, so the RSF and Labor will happily take this result. The left-leaning parties in the Senate still hold a majority of the seats. The right-leaning parties will continue to struggle to pass legislation.

The AFP suffered the worst result in their history, but still has more seats than the ALP. The ALP lost 16 seats, and there is pressure on Maredudd Rhydderch to resign, although he performed better in the presidential election than the ALP did in the legislative elections. Rhydderch will probably hold onto his job, but if there are anymore setbacks during this term, it is likely he will resign.

The National Hosian Party made the most gains, winning 70 seats. The Partei für neue Wege also did well, becoming the third largest party. The biggest winner of this election, however, is the president, Gloria O'nnel. She has became the first president since the 4230s to win three consecutive presidential elections. She has proven herself to be a very capable, charismatic politician. She received endorsements from the Labor Party and Partei für neue Wege.

The election will give the left even more hope that they can continue to pass radical bills through the Senate. There will be more protests, possibly more riots, from the right, but the left and their president will know there is a silent majority that supports them.

AFP ELECTS GEORGE LLEWELLYN AS LEADER

The AFP have elected George Llewellyn as their party leader in a hotly contested caucus held by the party. Llewellyn won by a small margin against incumbent leader Arthur Bundefeller, who has seen the party lose a large number of seats in the last two elections. Llewellyn, popular among the party loyal, strongly opposed Bundefeller's last bid for the Presidency. As leftists have taken control of the Alorian economy and government, the AFP is looking for new ways to improve their electoral chances and combat rise of socialism in what used to be a strongly capitalist nation.

Llewellyn is seen as a firebrand by the electorate, although he has been known to make compromises and deals in his time in office. After former PM and AFP leader Seth John's last presidential bid, Llewellyn is seen as the best chance to revive the party's old populist legacy. While Bundefeller did not widely veer away from his long-standing AFP positions, many blame his weak leadership for the decline of a party that at one time held the head of government position.

In other important news, former leader Seth John was elected to the Senate again after a long retirement. The aging politician strongly supports the new leadership of George Llewellyn and many in the party herald his return to politics. It is unclear what if anything John will do as Senator, but many in the party look to him for guidance and support.

ALP RELAUNCH AS THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY


Maredudd Rhydderch described the conference as the start of a new era

The Alorian Libertarian Party held their annual party conference this week and, as Rhydderch announced earlier this month, they have relaunched their party. Their name has changed from the Alorian Libertarian Party to simply the Libertarian Party. Rhydderch has described it as a "entirely new party"

"Lots of people have left the party and lots more have joined, we have a new logo and a new name, although I admit it is very similar. We will continue our libertarian message but we will announce new, radical policies. I am now the first leader of the Libertarian Party. We are an entirely new party, and the people will recognise that."

A lot of time at the conference was spent attacking the RSF for their communist policies, including the new Green Commune Bill. Former president Gerald Wehnert called the bill "another national disaster for the economy". Wehnert is thought to be highly involved in the new Libertarian Party. He described the reform as a "huge step towards a future libertarian government". During his speech at the conference, Wehnert talked about making the Libertarian Party the "natural party of government" while remaining an "anti-establishment force".


Gerald Wehnert was a prominent figure at the conference

During Mr Rhydderch's speech, he also talked about future hopes of being in government, and of being president. It is known Rhydderch has always wanted to be president, ever since he has been involved in politics. Rhydderch said he wants to "represent the Right" at the next election. He hopes all right-wing parties in Aloria will support him for president in 4287, as he knows there is very little chance of him winning without endorsements.

"If we are to take down the RSF communist establishment, we must win the presidency in 4287. Due to the gigantic lead of the RSF, we must be innovative with our leadership and with our policies. President O'nnel has won a third term, the first president to do that since the 4230s, so we must recognise the message people are sending us."

EDUARD SCHWARZ RETIRES FROM POLITICS

SOCIAL REVIEW

'I no longer feel fit to lead this great movement and to represent its activists. I've led it for 20 years and I think that the RSF deserves a new face. I urge everyone who want to lead the Front to announce her or his candidacy and run for RSF Leader. I hope RSF chooses a wise and passionate person to lead it. Our movement was built on energy and has existed through energy. It was great leading this movement and guiding it into power. I thank everyone for supporting the RSF. Not me. I couldn't have done this without the help of the many energetic people who are in it. I wouldn't. I am 70 years old now and I also feel that the students need a new face, a new representative. I wish you all excitement and success!'

After those words, a few faces have stepped in and announced their candidacy. Those are:

Franziska Belova, 35-years old ecology professor, immigrant from Deltaria, anarcho-communist who promised to 'storm the streets, abolish the state, smash capitalism and liberate everyone'.
