Early this month, the Party of Metzism and Democracy in Rildanor announced that they would officially restructure as La Ligue des Socialistes Rildonaraises (LSR; League of Rildanorese Socialists), citing growing membership as the main cause.
After winning our first seats in the '52 general election, more and more leftists across Rildanor have come to us for guidance. We have given them hope for a renewed Rildanorese Left after 10 years of Axist rule. Some of our supporters had even been members of the left-wing of the Parti National Axiste, but upon our formation decided we offered a more palatable programme for them. It has been so wonderful and heart-warming to see so many people all across the country come out for us. As a result of the massive influx, we're simply unable to maintain the more centralized structure we'd established only a few years ago. As a result, both party officials and rank-and-file members have agreed to a restructuring under the umbrella <<Ligue des Socialistes Rildanoraises>>, to represent the diversity of our members.
We still wholeheartedly support Communism and Democracy, and will retain our current democratic structure, as well as devolving more powers down to regional and local offices to support the policies and candidates they feel best represents the interests of where they live.
We hope this move will serve as a model of unity for other left-wing parties across Terra, as well as improving our responsibilities to our members and constituents. We look forward to the future of Rildanor and the LSR.
-Augustine Hambard, co-chair of the League of Rildanorese Socialists
