CPX prevails in 5700 elections; A Communist start to a new century, as Metok promises 50 years of progress in 5.
-------------------------
February 20th, 5700
-------------------------
Another election, another government. To start off the 5700 century, voters elected the CPX as while Passang Asselin and the XIP did do well, it seems voters wanted a return to the status quo. While the XIP wasn't rejected, the CPX has the means to form a governing coalition, and the public consent. As such, comrade Metok has been elected Premier and has made a very ambitious plan for his tenure as Premier. As his slogan goes, "fifty years of progress in five", Metok has called for drastic reforms. Drastically reforming the Tsokling System, particularly the MBI Aspect, and redirect it towards those who need it instead of everyone, while still keeping universal services, expanding industry to promote growth, and generally expand jobs. Despite a strong primary challenge from Kalingpong last year, Metok has appointed Comrade Kalingpong as People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, essentially endorsing the Sunshine Policy 2 in entirety.

As for the results of the elections, let's start with the winners. The CPX managed to not only hold onto their seats, but expand, securing 239, with roughly a 4.5% swing. For the party now entering opposition again, XIP did fairly well, only losing 2 seats, leaving them at 125 with a 0.1% swing. For Left-Green Dovani, they actually managed to see growth, despite the controversy from the Continuity Act. They saw an increase towards 54 seats, a 6 sear improvement, with a 0.9% swing. For the Land and Bread Party, they only saw a 0.4% swing against them, leaving them with 17 seats, down 3 seats from 5695. Alongside this, 3 independents left PAX. Finally, the SLP. A tragedy in the making, the SLP dropped 24 seats, facing a -3.9% swing as voters defected from the party. As for the GNP, they saw a decrease, of 0.8% against them, leaving them with just 21 seats, 6 short of what they achieved last election. This leaves the SLP with only 98 seats. For the first time since it's foundation, the SLP may arguably be heading towards minor status, and it may very well be a dying party.

As Passang managed to solidify the Right as a possible governing party, the XIP has managed to hold out, despite claims that they would be reduced heavily. As the SLP Central Committee rejects conversation regarding the future of the SLP, the CPX is set to include them and Left-Green Dovani in the coalition, as the Metok Administration will certainly make big promises. The most interesting promise however, will be the MBI Reforms. Whatever the case, voters want a return to the CPX for this new century.
