Elections have come about and it seems the Socialist People's Party has been elected for a second term with Remy Clair being elected president. As the Vaganay Government steps down, the people have chosen to trust the socialists to another six year term. Clair has already made vast promises, looking to counter the "'Five Wants" that are, idleness, disease, hunger, shelter, and splendor. As such, we can expect major reforms to job programs, continues health reforms, continued housing expansions, ensuring Rildanoriens have more money to take home, and ensuring starvation and hunger are curbed drastically.

In terms of foreign policy, Clair has made a strong point to criticize Vascania for recognizing the MRN and aligning with them, claiming that "fascists fall from the same tree, no matter their location". While no military reforms are expected, it is a possibility should the Clair Government feel that Egelian protection isn't enough. Whatever the case, we can continue to expect this term to focus on continued domestic developments and improving the lives of all those on the island. Even with undesirable foreign circumstances arising.

Despite Clair and the PPS winning the presidency, their majority in the Free Congress has been cut down quite significantly the Centrist Party of Free Rildanor and the New Conservative Party, which means that major legislation will need to be negotiated with other parties if the PPS faces defections. Whatever the case, another 6 years of socialism will define Meriath.
