Social Democrats once more the largest party

After his resignation followed two elections that saw The Social Democrats become the largest party in the diet both times, this time also grabbing the position of Governor-general.

Frederick Coombes is once more Chancellor, this time with what seems to be a far more stable majority left wing goverment. A goverment consisting of the Social Democratic Party and the Hosians Workers Party.



Mr Coombes has during this time introduced several acts called "The third way" Which he claims to be the middle road between socialism and capitalism.

The nation was desperate to keep the policies we promised, and now we are delivering on said promises. As Chancellor I will always put the needs of the poor and downtrodden before Corporations and Venture capitalist. Each man has certain rights that never should be taken away. The right to health, schooling and a liveable wage.


Thats how it sounded during the Social Democratic Party conference which saw expanded power for the executive branch of the party.

So far the government under his reign, has raised taxes for the richest, while cutting it for those earning the least. introduced new Labour Union rights and began several entitlement programs.

Frederick Coombes remain as HOG as the Social Democrats see gains in Snap Election

The Social Democrats remain the largest party in the Diet. After the Election it stood clear they had gained 45 seats, landing at a total of 176 seats in the diet. The Mr Coombes has at present writing been Chancellor for seven years and stands to remain Chancellor for four more years. The last term with thee goverment consiting of the Social Democratic Party and the Hosian people's party saw massive change to both the welfare system and for the economy. The so called ''third way'' has apparently seen voters approval and according to the Chancellor, will continue to be expanded upon.

Our election slogan was, '' A steady course forward with the people's trust'' And that is what i intend to do. This goverment shall continue to expand upon our previous policies to bring forth a stable and prosperous nation. We simply can not afford the Conservatives or White Rose when they promise to roll back upon the policies which has seen the population's approval.


One can only wonder however for how long the Chancellor can continue to lead the party and the country, next year he will be seventy years old and the talk of who shall carry to torch afterwards is up to the Social Democratic Congress next year. The choice to step down however is fully up to Mr Coombes who continues to enjoy the full support of his party.


Social Democratic Party: 176 seats Gains: 45 seats
White Rose : 104 seats Gains: 24 Seats
Hosian People's Party : 87 seats Loss : 22 Seats
Conservative Party : 78 seats Loss: 10 seats

Frederick Coombes dead by natural causes

Election night saw the Social Democratic party loose several seats, but more than that they lost their leader and Chancellor for 10 years, Frederick Coombes.

Outside his countryhome before the Election results was announced, the Chancellor suffered a heart attack. At 76 years of age he had been in politics for all of his late life and popularised left wing politics within the nation. Most recently he was constantly in battle in the Diet regarding several of the elections. Sources within the party has given us inisght in to his fading health that plauged him for the last year of his service to this country.

The Social Democratic party bylaws kicked in making Olof Plamquist, Olof Palmquist grew up, unlike Mr Coombes, in a whealthy family far away from poverty and it seemed as if his future was set on taking his family legacy in a lawfirm. However when the Social Democratic Party was founded Mr Palmquist was quick to join up. Ending up as Mr Coombes right hand man.

Hosian People's Party Chairman Gregory Hicks makes speech calling Frederick Coombes a "national hero" for helping institute the HPP-SDP economic program while Fort William erupts in chaos as political violence sweeps the streets

While Gregory Hicks was making a speech praising Frederick Coombes, his son John Hicks in Fort William marched with a crowd of 35,000 Hosian People's Party supporters into Socialist Labour Party voting districts with bats, rocks, Molotov cocktails, and a series of other home-made weapons attacking indiscriminately men women and children believed to be Socialist Labour Party supporters. For three hours those on the streets were violently beaten and killed while over seventy homes had rocks and Molotov cocktails thrown inside. Police had an unusually delayed response and upon arriving had quickly decided to flee, with the Luthorian Military coming two hours later with armored vehicles and infantry prompting the HPP supporters to flee. Over one hundred and fifty people were killed and over seven hundred were injured with economic damages totaling up to 75 million LPD. John Hicks was detained and is awaiting trial. When some HPP supporters who participated were asked why they had done this many responded with answers such as "If you are anti-monarchy, you are an enemy of the state" as well as "Socialists have no nation, they are parasites".

Olof Palmquist denounces violence

After the violent protests and attacks in Fort William upon Socialist voters Olof Palmquist spoke about the event today in the capital.

Political violence shall never be accepted, it is true that we are a royalist nation. But we are indeed also a democratic nation. Where all views and expressions should be allowed to take place freely. That is something this party holds close to our hearts and something that we made clear from the start. As the leader of a center left political party, i am not afraid to call myself a democratic socialist. Just as Frederick Coombes was, and just as previous parties of our kind have been. We have a strong belief in the middle ground. Market forces shall be free but regulated, the economy should work for the majority not the lucky few. I became a democratic socialist when i traveled around the world and saw the pain and suffering that unregualted capitalism can cause, but also what pain totalitarian communism cause. We are the third way, The Social Democratic party and we plead with all people to accept the democratic process.

Gregory Hicks murdered by Socialist Labour Party radicals causing HPP Disbands, Hosian Fascist Union to form after release of John Hicks


Gregory Hicks, founder of the populist HPP, was found dead this morning after two confirmed SLP members had stabbed him over thirteen times upon breaking and entering his residence. The police shot and killed the two individuals immediately upon leaving the residence despite the individuals making no threat to the officers, having saw the broken window and the blood stains on the murderers. John Hicks, now released after only a mere month in prison, has taken the party mantle and hosted a rally outside of Fort William with over 100,000 attendees. The speech given was radical, and proclaimed the Hosian Fascist Union.

The following is a speech excerpt from the rally

" My father was a foreman by trade and a statesman by passion. He was economically a social democrat and socially a conservative. He was a simple man who cared for his people. My father was killed because he was not a socialist or a "true" social democrat, He was killed because he was not a parasite, an inbred, a nationless bastard who wanted to see the church burn. Their tolerance for the mentally ill is rooted in an intolerance toward the majority, they have sold out to international powers so they can send us to their communes and dominate us like cattle! I am not scared to say this, but I am a Fascist. I believe in an economy that benefits both the workers and the employers, I believe in a strong nation with strong borders, I believe that action is needed and not just words. WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! WE WILL GO TO THE BALLOT BOXES! WE WILL STORM THE STREETS! WE WILL ONCE AND FOR ALL TAKE THOSE UGLY SOCIALIST BASTARDS AND EXTRADITE THEM TO THE SHIT HOLES ON TERRA FOR THEIR TREASON! TODAY MARKS THE HOSIAN FASCIST REVOLUTION! HOSIAN PEOPLE UNITE! "


Image

Throughout the night, HFU supporters would walk through the Social Democrat and Socialist districts singing the following tune, while drumming. marching, and carrying torches.


" Sing while you can..... Dance while you can...… Rejoice as you may..... For Hosian Fascists will soon rule the day!"

White Rose Merge Into Single Political Entity

The White Rose Alliance has now merged into a single political body, under the Weston family, after their continual election disappointments since 4384 when they lost their majority and joined a Coalition with the SDP until January 4389 when they were forced into Opposition, fighting to regain lost ground. They will go by the name White Rose.

Image

Marquis Samuel is the only Weston to not hold the Governor Generalship yet, his father served an historic 8 terms over 24 years in total. The White Rose leadership in the Diet falls to the Marquis' brother, Frederick Stinson, who has called on the Diet to oppose the growing rise of extremism, on both the left and the right.

White Rose Admonish Return of Corporation Tax and VAT

Image

The new Coalition of the SDP and HPP have presented the 'Welfare of the Nation Act 4387' which seeks to impose a 7% corporation tax, a 3% VAT and increase the luxury tax to 25% (currently 20%), it has met fierce opposition in the Diet as the White Rose claim the VAT will simply increase prices of essential everyday goods for those who struggle to pay for them anyway, and the re-implementation of a corporation tax will mean job losses and hours being cut from those still employed.
