PAX debates the West Dovani Union; A possibility for Pan-Dovanism?

Pan-Dovanism. It's a movement with a confusing history to say the least. Ever since the days of the Golden Trio Pact, Xsampa has been no stranger to the movement. And one of the best cases of Pan-Dovanism has been the West Dovani Union. For obvious reasons, Xsampa has never approached it. After all, why would a communist state approach a bourgeois institution? Especially when Xsampa isn't western Dovanian. However, ever since the 90s, there has been a stronger push for Pan-Dovanism and its culminated in Comrade Murielle Drakthonpa pushing the idea into PAX with a proposal to apply to join the WDU. However, such a move hasn't been without criticism. Critics have argued that the WDU may demand liberalism dressed in red for the economy, or that it's a waste of time due to geography. Others argued that it's too bourgeois of an institution. The biggest voices of opposition have actually come from Comrade Drakthonpa's own coalition. While he is a communist, his coalition partners in the Social Workers Party has found strong opposition to joining the WDU. Arguing that it'll demand the erasure of socialism and force capitalist culture onto Xsampa, most Social Workerites have opposed it. With the CPX itself not having much of a proper position and the EPP strongly supporting the move, the Red Lotus Coalition is evenly split on the measure. Comrade Delacroix has not given any support, nor opposition to the concept of joining the WDU, instead stating that "If PAX passes the bill, I will sign it into law and send our application to West Dovani". 

Other parties, especially those not in government have made their opinions loud, with the FLP joining the Social Workerites in opposing membership, arguing that it'll force the agrarian Proletariat to be ignored in favour of urban areas and enact neo-liberalism. The Socialist Labour Party and the Democratic Progressive Party have found themselves united in supporting the move to join the WDU, arguing that it'll show that Xsampa is serious about sharing prosperity with Dovani, serious about peace and cooperation, and show that a communist state like Xsampa can diplomatically engage with the rest of Dovani in a proper committed friendship.

So far, the proposal has not been confirmed for voting and remains in debates but if brought to the floor, it would narrowly fail by some 20 votes. At least, not accounting for abstaining votes. Should Xsampa join the WDU however, it would require the WDU to shake itself up a bit and readjust to properly handle Xsampa due to, one, the geography (it's no longer just West Dovani if it includes Xsampa) and two, clarify on economic matters (to ensure Xsampa doesn't lose its socialism and ensure the Union remains equal). But if all goes well, and Xsampa does somehow join the WDU, then we could expect various benefits such as free travel with the biggest economies in West Dovani, a victory for Pan-Dovanism which can act as a basis point for further Pan-Dovani thought, and it can also benefit communist and socialist parties in the WDU as they'd be able to point to us and say, "see, we can be reasonable too". But of course, this depends on if such a bill can even pass PAX, let alone be put on the floor to vote for.
