Victoria Vaganay elected; Compromises with the Communists made as the Popular Front forms.

May 8th, 5659

The early elections have concluded and it seems POIT has prevailed. Victoria Vaganay has been elected, albeit with some issues. But, first her agenda. Being a staunch democratic socialist, she has made it clear that she wants to fully repeal the PRA, reinforce the welfare state, and wage war on poverty that has only skyrocketed since the PRA's passing. Being a stark departure from the previous governments free market conservative ideals, many are expecting a slew of regulations, union protections, and market reforms to be enacted over the tenure of this government. However, it leads to the first issue. Who is governing? While POIT undoubtedly won (despite claims from the MRN over potential fraud), it can't maintain a government by itself. A coalition with the Rally Democrats would be political suicide and self defeating. A coalition with the Republicans wouldn't be enough due to their low seat count. That leaves one realistic option. A coalition with the communists.
While it's incredibly controversial, the CPCP has chosen to accept the offer for negotiations, insisting on a popular front with POIT. As such, the Communists will enter government with POIT. While centrists in POIT recoil at the idea, Vaganay has claimed that the popular front is necessary to ensure democracy continues on in Rildanor as the MRN has managed to secure a strong lock on the right wing vote. However, this also leads to issue 2 and 3. Issue 2 being the fact that the MRN has managed to skyrocket into becoming the main right wing party, and the main opposition. Should the Vaganay government mess up, the MRN will likely only continue to grow and may win the next election, should the Rally Democrats be unable to reorganize themselves and retake the right. Issue 3, the popular front. Some within POIT hate the idea of working with communists, some within the CPCP hate the idea of working with POIT. And this lead to the 4 Point List, a series of demands from the Communists that must be fulfilled by next summer, otherwise they will terminate the popular front. The demands are as follows, completely repeal the PRA, enact wealth redistribution, begin economic relief for the working class, and ensuring economic sovereignty. Should the demands not be meet by next May, the CPCP will depart from the coalition and issue a vote of no confidence.
The Vaganay Government has a slew of issues ahead, but there is also hope that things can get better. Despite a divided Assembly, Vaganay is certain that she will be able to not only accomplish her agenda but ensure that the 4 Point List is met. The MRN on the other hand has completely bashed the government for cooperating with communists and as aforementioned, raised issues of potential voter fraud. While the claims are being questioned, many are left wondering if this government will accomplish its goals, or if MRN will enter the government next election cycle.
