Popular Front re-forms
For students of history, the name of the Popular Front recalls a turbulent time in Kirlawan politics. Emerging as left wing opposition to the CandyKids dictatorship, they helped form the Left Coalition. Later, they were among the key players in the Kirlawan Civil War, when they allied with (and invited in) Dundorfians communist forces to assist against the fascist takeover of government. They formed the Popular Militias, which launched an audacious (some say terrorist) series of attacks that ended 30 years of Lucasite rule.
After a dalliance with Dundorfian expansionist aims, and a crisis of identity, they left the Kirlawan political scene around 1800 years ago.
Now, with a resurgence of the ideas of Zasper Ertigon at colleges around the country, and the founding of local "Popular Militias" in Merkan and Uwakah by militant trade unionists, a new party, the KPF 4.5k - marking their founding in December 4500 - entered candidates in the recent elections. They took less than 50,000 votes and gained no seats, and did not get anything in the regional or Senate elections. But Danivon Luze (a descendent of the first leader bearing the same name) has said that the party are looking to make a breakthrough in future years.
Some have expressed concern, not so much at the emergence of another revamp of a political party, but at the link (if not official) with a miltia group. Luze has tried to distance itself from some of the more radical positions taken by some militia units, but the party has also included Freiheitstadt Division leader Col. Xavier Smith among its leadership committee.
