GNP adopts Social Monarchism; A bid to save the GNP.

Yesterday, in an Emergency Central Committee meeting of the Gongma Nyamnyid Party, several members of the GNP Central Committee voted on an special resolution, which would radically alter and shift the manifesto of the GNP and it's foundational ideology. Special Resolution SN-115 was passed 11-8, and current head of the GNP, comrade Yonten has confirmed the new of what Special Resolution SN-115 has done. Comrade Yonten has confirmed a formal change to the ideology of the GNP, officially adding Social Monarchism to the GNPs manifesto, and the goal of the formal establishment of a socialist monarchy system.

This has come as a major shock in Xsampan politics, as previously, Social Monarchists remained relatively niche in the grand scheme. A major force in the GNP but not a major force in Xsampan politics. Within the GNP, there has been an increase in nationalist dissent, but overall accepted as GNP voters have been desperate for any change to the status quo, something social monarchists have offered. Beyond the GNP however, reactions have been more muted. A spokesman from the CPX said the following over the change.

Pluralism allows each and every party within Xsampa to organize itself in any manner it sees fit for the continuation of Socialism. However, the CPX retains it's right to field concerns over potential governing with unique ideological movements.

A statement that many have echoed as skepticism has arisen over whether the GNP could be included in future governing coalition. The biggest concern of course, is how compatible socialism is with the ideas of monarchism. Whether true or not, this will certainly cause issues should the GNP make ground in the 5695 elections. However given the major bleeding they underwent in 5690, and concerns over the Social Monarchists, it's likely that the GNP will become a minor party. Whether apart of a governing coalition or not, is simply too early to tell.

Whatever the case, the GNP manifesto now formally pushes for Social Monarchism, and the formal establishment of a Gyag Gyalpo (Yak King) to replace the Custodian as a constitutional or ceremonial monarch. The big question remains, if elected, who would become the monarch? Inviting the Exiles in Yingdala would be political suicide, so a new dynasty would have to be inaugurated. So far, the GNP will need to answer that question and assure Xsampans that at the end of the day, it is a socialist party still. But overall, this has certainly given the GNP a proper identity beyond vague conservative socialism. Whether it is enough to save the party or not, is simply too early to tell.
