Dolgava

We are heading into the final week of Parliament as soon it will be early election time and with that special rules and a annulment of Parliament, unless for national emergencies.
 
The Dolgavan Prime Minister Jaanus Jogi announced today that early elections will be held in the fall of this year, with the campaign beginning this August. The decision comes as his Dolgavanas Piena Partija (DPP), (Dolgavan Dairy Party) is neck and neck with the Dolgavas Konservatīvā Partija (Conservative Party of Dolgava) (DKP) which is currently led by the Leader of the Opposition Toivo Meri. Meri has risen through the ranks of the Conservative Party to become it's leader and has led a effective campaign against the Government.

The Conservatives complaints stem around the current Government not taking action in terms of problems they see in the foreign policy arena. For instance they believe that Dolgava should take a more firm stance on Trigunia, and that the ongoing government there is illegitimate. They also believe that Fascism in Artania should be squashed, with Meri calling for Dolgava to send military aid to Luthori.

The Jogi Government has taken steps to mitigate this, such as building a large airfield in the Hodari strait, or developing a nuclear submarine program, but they cannot seem to shake the growing Conservative presence.

Currently between 5 aggregates show the DPP up by 2.2% with a margin of error of 4%. The race puts the Conservatives and the Dairy Party both even at around 45% and the Social Democrats at around 9-11%

In terms of a working coalition, the Conservatives and the Dairy Party seemingly will have to get a confidence and supply agreement with the Social Democrats, or create a grand coalition, however with the election months away this is all pure speculation.

The biggest force driving less voters to vote for the DPP is mainly voter fatigue, Jaanus Jogi's approval numbers remain very high for a Dolgavan Prime Minister sitting on close to 10 years of governance, but there is a growing dissatisfaction with the ruling party, and voters are more and more pushing for change. We cannot be sure what the results will be, but whatever they are, the results will probably be historic and the margins razor thin.
