Labour Rally attracts thousands
Dan Button promised a change from this weak social democratic front if he wins by promising investment in national services to compete with large private companies such as the Hamilton Company and Norwalk Railways. The rally was held in North Bend as Labour try and push to make gains in states they used to control.

This SD and CRP lead government have failed to take care for our public services to futher private mebers intrests. This sort of corrupt business politics will be restricted if you vote Labour. We will continue regulation and strong public services to save your pockets from those parties who want to take your hard earned cash away for useless profit being left in a CEOs bank account. If you give us the largest hand in the next governmnet this will change.

Dan later talked about coalitions and said "All options were open as this country needs radical protection from parties who want to destroy this system".

Eric Hamilton Holds Mega Rally

In response to the LAB speech Eric Hamilton held a mega-rally in East Bolton drawing 127,000 people, he slammed LAB over "over regulation".

LAB is going to try to extremely limit the private sector, the CRP supports competition between the public and private sector, but LAB wants to sue the Hamilton Company for a monopoly they don't have!

Eric Hamilton also said that LAB and SD have no values and just change views when their popular stating that "a party that has no values is doomed to fail" he said that unlike LAB his party would never go into a coalition with the fascist NULP or the communist SWP.

New Navy Project Begins

On February 1st 4734 the Defense Minister announced the start of a new project for the Navy, it will be for a new battleship design and is projected to cost around 900 mill. to 1.1 bill. LIK. At the briefing the Defense Minister said the project would be the start of a vast naval upgrade to update our entire Navy to be on par with modern Terran navies.

This just marks the beginning, we will start more and more projects to vastly update our naval forces. With our air force starting to get into a solid place we must look to update our other vastly outdated branches. The first step of the projects, and probably the longest step, is to come up with a good and practical design, we are expecting this step to take years, the second step is to produce the prototype, if the prototype is successful then we can produce them, if it is not then we determine what is wrong with it then we fix it, and then build a new prototype, we are hopeful that the first prototype will be sufficient.

As the Minister said the first step will be to make the design for the destroyer and then to build a proto type, then to test it, and determine if anything needs to be changed. The whole process is projected to take anywhere from 7-9 years and cost between 900 mill. and 1.1 bill. LIK.

Defense Minister Starts Sub. Program Before Being Removed From the Government

The Minister of Defense, Phillip Virgil has started a submarine program a week ahead of the Social Democrat and Socialist Workers Party coalition government being passed. The submarine program is estimated to take 7 years to complete and cost 900 mill. LIK, the Defense Minister said that this is the last project he will start before the Socialist Workers Party takes the position of Defense and hopes they will continue his Naval and Air Force upgrades. In an interview he stated that the Battleship project will be receiving 200 mill. LIK per year, and that the submarine project will also receive the same amount. He announced that the first step of the battleship project has been started and the engineers are working on a design, when they are done it will go to the sitting Defense Minister for approval, the Defense Minister will look over it with his top engineers and give it the go ahead or he will ask then to change things.

In light of the coming SD-SWP government I am starting a submarine program before the SD and SWP come into office, this will be the last program I start and hope the SWP will continue it. The new program will be for a new submarine to replace our old LS-15s, this program will be receiving 200 mill. LIK per year from the military budget as will the battleship program, I also am glad to announce that the battleship program has started its first step and our engineers are working on a design, for both projects when the first design is complete it will got to the sitting Ministers office for approval. I will also be working with the SWP closely to ensure that they do not end our current programs.

Norman Tolvelov Calls for leadership

Prominent Labour Party member, Norman Tolvelov, has told the LNN he wants to become President. He would be running with Abbie Dan for Prime Minister and challange the ruling elite. This comes after Lisa Baker was following orders from Norman to propose his ecomony laws which he hopes will improve the party and increase its election chances.

In the last election, our party has become a minor party in Likatonian politics. We have to try and improve and not stay down here for as long as the SD or the CRP. I do believe though that it is good we are not in government and rewarding bad results but it is right if we get a say in the government and back a party we would prefer to be in government. Over the last government the relationship between Lab and CRP has crumbled. If I manange to improve this party's prospects I will want to go in coalition with the SD or SWP to keep the great left in power.
