The Smell of Elections in the Air

As Elections once again approach Kalistan,Political Parties have started their campaigns and published their promises to the electorate,the last 3 years have passed with minimal action and reform in the part of the Government Coalition which includes the LDP,SPoK and NCP. Pundits put reason to the Ideological differences between the sides as the reason for the inaction and there have already been voices among the voters and the insiders of the LDP that the former coalition should of LDP/NCP should be established to continue the steady path to reform. Although some argue that the coalition is not to blame but the politicians and ministers which have become rusted after more then a decade in power. Amidst all of this debate and speculation,We managed to get a few words from the President himself on the matter and on the Election cycle as a whole.

The Liberal Democratic Party always aims for the best,and the best is obviously a one-party government of the LDP,so our goal is the recieve 126/250 MP’s in Parliament,now obviously goals and realities are quite seperate issues unfortunately,and such a result is highly unlikely,especially in these times where the mandate did not function as we had hoped ad there is a blatant rise in Populistic rhetoric.I am as you know once again putting my candidacy for President but to be honest with you,and this is an exclusive im giving to the Voice of the Free which is not known,I was planning to end my political career after this mandate,because ive been in office for 15 Years now!,however the Party really lobbyed me *laughs* and they wanted me to go one more time so i guess this election is my last hoorah ! And if the voters see it fit my last mandate as President!. Now when it comes to the coalition issue,ı believe that coalitions are a part of a healthy democracy and i dont see them as damaging to progress,now ofcourse there must be an equal understanding and functionality between the parties but sometime you must reach across the aisle to get the government that you want and thats always a good thing,especially in the polarised world we live in today. Our promise for the next mandate is a simple one:TAX ! If we are blessed with the necessary amount of MP’s to push it through,We shall finally remove the 1% tax “back-breaker” from the 1<Bracket and also we will completely scrap or atleast drastically reduce the Corporation tax to provide incentive for new work-places and expansion of business which will obviously mean more jobs and more growth !
