September 10th, 5662

As reconstruction continues on, the National Salvation Council (Conseil du salut national) has declared that full elections will be organized next year in March, with all existing parties beginning the campaign season. Elections for the Free Congress of Rildanor, and elections for the President. Deeming the present situation to be stable enough for elections, the CSN has looked to ensure elections go smoothly. So, let's go over the current parties campaigning.
Starting off with the most relevant for the right, the Nouveau Parti Conservateur (New Conservative Party), otherwise known as the NPC, advocating for a progressive conservative vision, advocating for respecting tradition whilst respecting progress as well. Specifics within the platform include a national family stability tax credit, community policing reform, tax breaks for local and small businesses, and social stability. Their nominee for president is Maxime Boulanger, a former principal who rose through local politics. Boulanger has made the key point of his campaign to be about "compassionate progressive conservatism", and ensuring Meriath's soul survives.
Looking to the centre, the Parti Centriste du Rildanor Libre (Centrist Party of Free Rildanor), has campaigned on a platform of stability, safety, and technocratic governance. Key specifics include creating a hybrid public-private health system, an education to employment pipeline, creating a debt ceiling, and national service in the Armée de la Liberté et de l'Indépendance (Freedom and Independence Army). The nominee for president is Jonathan Génin, a former member of the military. Génin has focused on safety, stability and progress, particularly looking to work with foreign countries that recognize Meriath in modernizing the ALI and reorganizing it into a proper military whilst also ensuring domestic needs are met.
Finally, the left. The Parti Populaire Socialiste (Socialist People's Party) has focused on a campaign of hope, renewal, justice and community. Key specifics include a national living wage, a fully funded and public health system, humane housing reforms, an ethical and fair economy, and anti-corruption. Being led by none other than Victoria Vaganay, former President of the Union, and former leader of the Party of Independent and Socialists (POIT), she has managed to secure the PPS's nomination and is looking to present a new vision and redeem herself for her failures a few years ago that led to the election of the MRN and the collapse of the popular front.
All candidates are expected to do fairly well, so it's hard to predict who'll prevail. Between socialists, centrists and conservatives, what's common amongst them all is a dedicated major recovery plan, following the Egelian plan laid out with a focus on infrastructure, housing, the blue economy and tourism for the economy. As citizens will look at campaigns and begin thinking about who'll they'll elect to the Free Congress and who they'll elect as President, we can only look across the Strait with worry at the mainland as it descends further into fascism.
