MUDANWAN, Min -- Newly-elected Lotus Party Leader Dai Jinhao is eager to deliver results to his membership in the upcoming snap election. Dai painted his party as the only alternative to unify the country in a pitch to convince residents of Min to vote for the Lotus Party.

The "post-monarchist political debate," as Dai puts it, is one that will be fought on economic issues. To that end, the Dai delivered a speech in Mudanwan today that attacked far-left and far-right positions.

"Listen, we have four parties using two colours, and all four are proposing very extreme, childish policies," said Dai, "It is time for us, for this generation of Indralans to put away childish things. More, it is time for all of us to come together and get down to the very serious, very adult business of building a better country."

The division he says lies between the "red" parties (Social Democratic Party and Socialist Party) and the "black" parties (Warlord Party and Jien Party).

"We Indralans live in a blessed country. We are diverse, yet we are peaceful. We are tough but we are compassionate," said Dai, "we don't need to choose between hard laissez-faire policies proposed by the 'black' side and Metzist ideologues on the 'red' side. We can elect a government that encompasses the values of all Indralans."

Dai focused a specific part of his speech on the Warlord Party.

"This party proposes that modern Indrala be split up into warring states, each controlled by a tyrant. This party's existence is a reflection of the sad state of Indralan politics."

Dai will continue to travel the country, speaking to voters, until the election in January.
