Dunburg - Our country is preparing to hold the Federal Election later this month, an election that is likely to put an end to decades of leftist governments and that will feature for the first time many new parties all at once, replacing older parties that grew inactive, the new parties will be joining the long-standing DSDP and the recently re-formed but certainly not new, NDZP. Even the "old red thing", as many Dundorfians jokingly refer to the DSDP, wasn't immune to change: its leadership was claimed after an internal election by the young member of the Bundestag Valentine Leesdorf who defeated much older candidates who were thought to be the clear front-runner, but after many decades of leadership by Alexander Schumacher, the social-democratic electorate was looking, perhaps, for young blood and more dynamism.
As we said, the NDZP is back reclaiming political space in the center-right with Rudolf Kaltenbrunner after an absence that lasted many years, and according to polls, it is rapidly surging, close to 30%, putting the DSDP's lead in peril (our analysts at the Zeitung says that their lead will certainly be halved) but also being the perfect example of a rapid political comeback.

But what about the new parties? They never contested an election in Dundorf, and they replaced old parties that went inactive, so no one knows much about them. But the we at the Zeitung do, as we followed closely the campaigns of each party.
First of all, we found about the return of the Greens with a party named Grüne für den Planeten, and still on the left we have the Dundorfische Rote Front. To the center-right we covered the campaign of a moderate liberal party, the Team Liberaldemkoraten, while in Lutzenkamp we covered the campaign of Julstoch-only Julstoschiche Sozial Union, conservative and regionalist. To end, a fringe, right-extremist party referring to the Thaller ideology is also contesting the election, but pundits are doubtful that they will make it past the new electoral threshold, set at 5%.

The threshold isn't Dundorf only change in this election: for the first time a constitutional bill was passed to modify the way the Federal President is elected, placing that power on a qualified majority of Bundestag. So, Dundorfians in a few weeks will be called to renew their parliament, and indirectly, they will determine the future President.
