A reignited Socialist movement launches a political front for change, invites all Leftists to participate

The Socialist Party of Kalistan, last active more than 130 years ago, has once more emerged from the Kalistani Brethrenist meetings, and has announced a return to the political system.  The Socialists disbanded as a Party as members became disenchanted with the prevailing gridlock in Government, but now see an opening for a revitalized Left.  Newly elected Party leader Rebecca Edwards-Bennots, of the ancient Bennots political family that has been intrinsically associated with SP politics for more than 2000 years stated the objectives of the newly re-established Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK):

1.  The SP seeks to return to a legislative presence in Kalistan.
2.  The SP will not automatically oppose the efforts of the Conservatives, but wishes to work in partnership and good faith to pass legislation which can be acceptable to as broad a swath of the electorate as possible.
3.  The SP seeks the renewal of the ODEN and a restoration of the Militias, which have been recently abolished, as well as a rollback of drug prohibition. 
4.  The SP seeks to promote civil libertarian principles and the Dual Economy, ending complete privatization once and for all, while re-establishing the Strategic Public Sector in oil, ferrominerals, and war material.
5.  The SP seeks to move Kalistan back into the forefront of Anantonese international politics, in its traditional role.

The Socialist Party, in is refounding, has explicitly declared its ties to the Brethrenist faith in Kalistan, and has committed to being guided by Brethrenist testimonies.  Additionally, as a sign of good faith, the SP has declared that it will not contest the next Presidential elections, while it focuses on building its presence in the National Assembly.
