Social Liberal Coalition collapses; Snap Elections scheduled for later this year.

The governing "Social Liberal Coalition", which has been governing for quite some time now has ultimately met it's end. Despite the cordial relationship between the Republican Party of Rildanor (PRR) and the Workers and Independents Labour Party (POIT), it seems that cordial relations have dissolved as the two party's came into major disagreements over union policies. While the two party's did have disagreements in the past, this seems to have been the final issue to break the coalition. As such, with the coalition dissolved, the current government can no longer maintain itself, and snap elections have been organized for later this year.
With the PRR campaigning on not rocking the boat, and bushing forward a social liberal vision for Rildanor, Norbert Jacquemin has looked to continue the status quo, with a special focus on pension reform, healthcare reform and expanding the trade volume with other Seleyan states. Their former friends in POIT have been led by moderate social democrat, Godeliève Dimont. Dimont has campaigned hard on social democratic policies, such as welfare expansions, strengthening labour unions, and enacting a 10% increase to wealthy taxes.
On the other side of the aisle lay Rally for Democracy (RPD), the prominent conservative party within Rildanor. Being led by Yves Popelin. Popeline has broken from ROD norms of paternalistic conservatism and offered a rather bold vision of embracing the free market, calling to deregulate the market, restore morality to Rildanor, and slash taxes across the board. A strongly pro market approach, it remains to be seen if Popelin's vision for conservatism can thrive in an election.
But, there lay two more parties competing in the elections. While they aren't expected to gain much attraction, they are expected to gain at least a few seats. 2 to 6 at minimum. To the left, lay the Communist Party for the Canrillaise Proletariat (PCPC) being led by Rose Beaubois. Beaubois has campaigned on expectedly, a communist campaign. Complete restructuring of the state, wealth redistribution and anti-capitalism. Pundits don't expect much gains besides the usual minimum seats. On the other end of the spectrum lay the ultraconservative Movement for National Reconciliation (MRN) being led by Grégoire Subercaseaux. The MRN has looked to appeal to nationalists, populists who feel left behind and those who feel that the status quo with conservatism isn't ideal. Like the PCPC, the MRN isn't expected to make major gains beyond the usual.
Ultimately, it's anticipated to be a three way race, albeit with a depressed left wing vote. Whatever the case of who wins, the end of this coalition doesn't inspire confidence for the future, but it doesn't inspire despair either. Whoever wins will certainly have alot on their plate in the coming years.
