This week, the Hutorian Proletarian Party (HPP) staged their first ever demonstration on the sides of streets in Adelia since their founding nearly 40 years ago. According to the party, more than 100,000 members from the Hutorian Proletarian Guard (the party's paramilitary wing) participated in the demonstration. Uniformed party members lined the sides of streets holding the signature red flags, using care not to block pedestrians or traffic. Gardener and in absentia politician Alfred Putnam (64), who started the HPP at the age of 23, stated that the purpose of the demonstration was "to remind the people that communism is not a dead dream":

This demonstration is for those who mistakenly believe communism is a dead dream. They will continue to see the red flag until it either flies above them or until the parasites drain the blood of the last worker in the name of some vague notion like "progress". In a world where the few can fulfill their greed, while the many must go without their basic needs, you would think the solution would be more obvious. Tell me, what do we need owners for? What exactly does an owner produce? Furthermore, why must the owner be able to live in luxury while his "capital", that produces his wealth, struggles to get by? We serve as the answer to these questions. The alternative to greed is compassion, fairness, hard-work for all and from all. We propose a system entirely managed by those who actually produce physical material. It is a system where nobody is permitted to squander resources. We do not promote any absurd notions of absolute equality. This is not an ideology about giving every student the same grade, it's about putting the teacher in charge of the school, the steelworker in charge of the factory, the farmer in charge of the farm. It's about the self-determination of the working class.

The only thing that truly doesn't work in this world is the fat parasite that lives off the combined wealth of his workers.

LDP Chair: "Federalists' and NPP's Aggression Drove Voters Away"



WOODHURST, LAGARD -- LDP Chairman Wayne Taft (LDP-FA) told reporters that he believes the recent election results were a "backlash" against the aggression of the federalists and NPP. "Both parties were supplanted by less interventionist parties. On the economically liberal side, voters came to the LDP, on the economically illiberal side, voters went to the socialist party. Overall, I think the Federalists' and NPP's aggression drove voters away."

The LDP Leader, Liam Thatcher (LDP-AD), had yet another disappointment with a cabinet. Rumors are swirling that he may resign in favor of former Finance Minister Reginald Hulbert (LDP-KE), who currently serves as Deputy Leader. The Kenai Senator from Williams University gained popularity when he went to the streets of Adelia during socialist protests and defended his policies against a crowd of angry "anti-austerity" activists.

Sen. Hulbert would not respond to the rumors, saying he is "100% in favor of Liam Thatcher as Leader", though it is notable Hulbert challenged him several election cycles ago when he was disappointed in the LDP's leadership.

BEKENIAL, ADELIA -- Prime Minister Frank Flanders (Hutori Socialist Party) held a massive rally reminiscent of those he held during the Election Campaign. An estimated 500 thousand showed up to hear the new Prime Minister speak on his mandate as Prime Minister of a Broad Progressive Centre-Left to Left Wing Coalition.

"We stand here today to announce victory. Victory not for me. Victory not for the Socialist Party, Victory for You, Victory for US, Victory for Hutori!"
*Cheers and Applause ensue*
"My Brothers and Sisters, we did it. We set aside the ideological differences that remain and color the parties of our Broad Coalition of the Left. From the darkest of red to a sky-clear blue to the wonderful hue of orange. Our Parties have their differences but there is one thing we share in common. We share a common belief in a just and fair Hutori. A Hutori that works for the common man, a Hutori that assures economic wellbeing and security is felt by all Hutorians. We should not fear poverty, war, crime, illiteracy, or any other ills that may threaten us. Our nation is consistently ranked as an economic Powerhouse. And yet, there are those without work. There are those without homes. There are those who grow hungry and those who are forced to beg. In a nation as wealthy as ours I say: ENOUGH."
*Cheers and Applause ensue*

"For too long we have had a few Banks control our economy. We need to take steps to reign in the power of big money. To fight back and break up the biggest banks, the biggest corporations, the biggest farms. We need a Policy that works for You. My Administration will take steps to alleviate the ills associated with unrestricted Capitalism. Consolidation is one of the worst side-effects of unchecked Capitalism. Out of many companies becomes a few massive corporations. Instead of entrepreneurship and economic security we arrive at Oligarchy and economic uncertainty. That is why we MUST introduce Land Reform, place further restrictions on speculation and regulate the banks. We must raise taxes on the wealthiest Hutorians and give that money back to those who need it most."
*Cheers and Applause ensue*

"Let me close my Address to you with this: A great nation is one that does not judge success based on how many billionaires there are. A great nation is one that judges success based on how many people have a place they are proud to call home. My goal will be to assure that all Hutorians have decent paying work, a roof above them, healthy food on the table, and clean air to breathe. Forward - TO VICTORY!"

Decima expands into Artania and relocates in Keris

Today Decima announced that it would be opening yet another server facility and this one was to be located in Rutania. The goal of this facility is to act in tandem with the new communication line being built between Hutori and Endralon to provide for the best possible access to services on the Artanian continent. There has been no word as to where exactly this new server facility is to be located only that it will be done within the next year. This new expansion should provide Artania with the very best in Decima's services.

In other news Decima has decide to relocate their Keris servers to Dolgaria in light of recent moves by the New Endralon government to "punish" Hutorian corporations. Decima said in a statement that they are still committed to providing the very best search results and services to those in Keris and it was because of that, that they decided to move.

If we were to lose our servers for even a day that could drastically reduce the quality and productivity of our services in Keris. And that is not a risk we are willing to take. We want to be operational at all times so that we can provide quick and easy access to information for everyone.

Installation of the new servers

LDP Leader: "Capitalism Won, End of Story"



BEKENIAL, ADELIA -- Capturing an extra eight seats and placing third in the hotly contested Presidential elections, the Liberal Democratic Party are triumphantly poised to take the position of Prime Minister in the President's proposed cabinet. The new leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, billionaire investor and former finance Minister Reginald Hulbert (LDP-KE) sat down with the Bekenial Dispatch to lay out his plans for his new government.

"We're not crazy in the LDP. We have one unifying belief: freedom first," Hulbert said. "People who crossed LDP on their ballot wanted one thing: freedom. It's literally listed first on our platform and everything."

Hulbert explained that his government would be focused on undoing the disastrous socialist reforms of the last administration and focus on making Hutori competitive economically. "We're one of the richest nations in the world. The socialists put that in jeopardy."

"The election results spoke loud and clear," Hulbert told the Bekenial Dispatch. "Two parties, the Liberal Democrats and the Federalists, captured over 200 seats. Why is that? We both believe in capitalism and the Hutorian way. I tell you what, Martin Townshend is a guy I have a lot of respect for. He's going to be a President for all Hutorians, and he's certainly not going to try and rot away our economy like our previous President. We have a new administration, and a new way forward for Hutori."

Hulbert also paid tribute to his predecessor, Liam Thatcher (LDP-AD), who resigned in favor of Hulbert prior to the elections. He also explained that Jean-Claude Bernier, the LDP's Presidential Candidate and former premier of Roccato, would have a "big role" in his administration, though he did not explain further.

"A pleasing First run for the DNP" says party leader



Today, Charlie Atkinson, leader of the Democratic Nationalist Party made an interview in which he commented on the election results in which his party came last with 6% of the national vote. This election has been the first since the party's established in its current form and their leader has praised his party for its performance in the election.

He said, "I do think that the DNP has achieved all that it could in its first election. The people are still learning about us, our policies and I think it took great courage to vote for us in this election. I think as a party we have triumphed considering the situation and I am immensely proud of us. A very pleasing first run indeed for the DNP. Obviously we still need to do more, however other parties have recognised our potential and strong policies as we are part of the government cabinet. The DNP ministers will work extremely hard to ensure that the people of Hutori have a strong, secure future ahead and we would like to thank our coalition partners for this huge opportunity to bring fair capitalism back into Hutorian politics"

FORWARD HUTORI:


Following the election result, Prime Minister Frank Flanders was officially ousted from the Party Leadership. Our Revolutionary Comrade Red Jenny had a few words to say about the decision:
"For too long we have had these social democratic infiltrators in our party. Our Party is a Party based on Socialism! We will no longer take a moderate path, we have seen what happens when we let the people down. Frank Flanders promised us a major banking reform, he promised us a budgetary vision to lead us into the future. Instead he failed. He failed to deliver, and he demolished the integrity that I fought hard for. From now on the Revolutionary Council will lead the Socialist Party with a clear goal and vision. That vision is: Revolution! Forward Now! Forward Hutori!"

BEKENIAL DISPATCH:
Objective observers note that the "Revolutionary Council" in this case is filled with yes men and women appointed by Jill Jennings. The Bekenial Dispatch warns of a rise of the extreme populist-left within the Socialist Party. Jillist-Johnsonists now denounce all former Flanderistas as Revisionists, calling themselves anti-revisionist Revolutionaries whereas their Social Democratic counterparts are seen as nothing better than Infiltrators, "paid shills by the Investor Class" as Jackie Gleason, a member of the Revolutionary Council, put it.
