Last January 1, Abdulaziz Al-Khali was overwhelmingly elected President of the Republic. Claiming a 99.7% mandate from nearly 80% of the electorate, Al-Khali put pay to the notion that Kalistan wanted to punish the Socialists for the scandal around the former Premier.
"What is more likely," Al-Khali declared following his inauguration, "was that Kalistanis were sick and tired of this constant stream of unstable and ephemeral Rightist, small government do nothing Parties that have blessed our country with their wretched presence as of late. One right after another, they stick around a few years, sponsor bills from outside the Assembly, and then fade into the aether as soon as they arrived. We don't understand it: Where are they coming from? As our last election results show, there is only a VERY limited support for small government types in Kalistan. I suppose they must be foreign agents meddling with our elections. Its the only way I can even get a handle on it."
Al-Khali's first act was to acknowledge the passage of the Non Aligned Movement. Kalistan became the first nation to do so, and was followed very quickly by Dankuk. Other founding member states have not moved the bill to ratification. "I'm proud of our country, moving that bill through its phases, getting it written and getting it to the point where we can pass it. We need to advertise it now. We got to get these other countries on board."
President Al-Khali said that he attempted to form a government with the next largest Party, who clearly have shown no interest whatsoever in joining the Government. "We got another NLA situation here. The Party tried to have a coalition with them. And they stuck us the first chance they got. We won't be making that mistake again. I named a government made entirely up of Socialist Ministers. We won't have over power so easy. So much for cooperation and civility. As far as I am concerned, the Right doesn't believe in the principle of separated Government, so we will honor their wishes and govern by ourselves. And the Right can just expect that if they ever become the Government, we won't help them either. I don't even care." Al-Khali acquiesced to Party leaders and named Maria Reina-Rodriguez to the Premiership, as well as a whole slate of new Ministers. The only hold over is Abe Hashimoto, who was responsible for overseeing the NAM's drafting.
Al-Khali said his goals for his first term will be to build up Kalistan's businesses within the boundaries of the Dual Economy. "There's a few startups that we'd like to look into. Kalistan is officially a 'tourist destination' and resorts in both the mainland and on Ananto can be expanded. I'd like to see more foreign investment come into Kalistan, to benefit both Kalistani investors and foreign investors. I'd like to finally accomplish peace with Lourenne: Any time they want to visit us here in Ananto, I say it'd be about time. We need to keep up with the socialist policies which have brought our country so much prosperity, and continue to defend the social safeguards in place from the Right, who are probing constantly, looking for cracks to exploit."
Al-Khali's administration may be the start of a new direction for Socialist Politics in Kalistan. There are rumors swirling that Al-Khali is looking at ways to dispense with constant omnibuses by neophyte Parties. Reina, for her part, has said that she would have no problem with dispensing with competitive elections all together, since they seem to encourage meddling by the Right. We'll stay tuned for more information on that. At Press time, the Premier sponsored a Bill, without comment that targetted ephemeral Parties by limiting the number of proposals that could be made in a year and the number of proposals a Party could obtain in a month at three and 5 respectively, making it virtually impossible for new Parties to destabilize Kalistani politics and then deorganize themselves. The Premier commented: "Yeah, the days of that nonsense are over. Its time to ensure that Kalistani Politics are stabilized." The bill will pass, as the SP holds nearly 75% of all seats in the Assembly.
