Bennots calls for Presidential Action, Declares new Party Leader

Ananto Governor and Shadow PM Daniella Bennots-Carrangus stepped in front of the Microphones. Her brief press Conference was broadcast over the entire IRTN, to all corners of Kalistan. As cameras snapped wildly, the Governor issued a brief Statement:

"Comrades, I call on all of you, at this moment, to contact President Baker and demand action on a Government Bill which addresses the current Party structure in our Government. The current breakdown is the result of two failed Government Bills, and is a relic from the SP's time as the Majority Party in the Assembly. Obviously, things have changed, and SEE and the SP have achieved something more like Parity in the Seat Count. We call on President Baker to form a new Government as soon as possible.

"In the meanwhile, the SP will propose legislation as if the SP sits in the PM seat, as our prerogative would permit. The SP will name Dian Fredricks-Bennots, from Kaliburg, who is President of the Kalistani Student Union, as Shadow Prime Minister. She will lead the SP into the future. Fredricks-Bennots represents the Leftists and the Students as constituents in our Party, and her leadership, while not free of some controversy, is sure to lead our Party to the left. The Convention has acclaimed her ascendancy, and we accept the result of the Party Convention. We wish her great success in the coming years as she begins her term as Party Leader."

Protesters have surrounded the Presidential Residence in POrt Davon, where Michael Armitage has established himself as a hereditary president for for life after cancelling elections for head of state. Additionally, the fascist invaders, working under the name of the so-called Kalistan Conservative Party have locked the establishment of a cabinet by investing said power solely in Armitage, who has, of course, refused to allow the formation of a cabinet, keeping instead a set of KCP puppets for a council.

"This tyrrany goes against everything we stand for in Kalistan" stated assistant organizer Andrea A. Andrews.

Corporate Movement Gaining Traction in Kalistan
-May 18th, 3850
Story by George Findlay, Columnist


Frederick de Vries is the Movement's prospective candidate for the Presidential Office.

-Lova, Neveras

The tumultuous political scene of Kalistan welcomes another member to its fold as the Corporate Movement, a new organization largely focusing on education, science, and finance, gains momentum. Largely unknown in the public eye until March, the Corporate Movement, or CMK, has burst onto the scene, in reaction to the Revolutionary Freedom Party's failure in addressing the socio-economic issues plaguing Kalistan for the past several decades. With the United Fascist-Communist Front picking away at the RFP's stranglehold on the nation, the Corporate Movement stands a good chance of at the very least getting a foot in the door for future political discourse.

At the forefront of the new party's political manifesto lies a complete overhaul of Kalistan's education system, to a point of destabilizing the nation's entire social system. While many analysts believe that the implementation of this system would be largely beneficial to Kalistan's educational systems, laying down the foundation for a social revolution within the nation, others are skeptical of the costs, both financial and social, of adopting such an extreme structure, fearful of its consequences should it fail.

"Our ideas are quite daring, yes." says Frederick de Vries, the presidential candidate and spokesperson for the Movement. "However, we see their application as being wholly beneficial to Kalistan, and by extension, the world. We will write Kalistan into the history books as a great and learned nation of scholars, professionals, and experts in their respective fields. This is only the beginning."

Some question the financial backing of the CMK, observing that a majority chunk of their funding and sponsorship originates from the Byss Corporation, or ByssCorp. The multinational biotechnology giants, head-quartered in Valruzia, have had a shadow cast over them since their attempted coup of the Valruzian government almost 3 centuries ago. Doubtless, Kalistan will be vigilant of any corruption arising from the Valruzian company.

SOCIALIST PARTY RETURNS TO KALISTAN

Reprinted from
IZQUIERDA-  THE VOICE OF THE KALISTANI LEFT
Kaliburg, Ananto District, November 17, 3912

Revolution is in the air, as Kalistan once more turns against the Kalkali governing Parties which have ruled Kalistan for the last 100 years.  A major effort to conduct the first cultural census in centuries has recently been completed, and the Government of Kalistan, under the leadership of President Roland Williams and Prime Minister Fredricka Carrangus, of the longstanding faction of the SP under the same name, have moved forward with a very ambitious agenda.


Artistic poster of Prime Minister Carrangus, announcing the return to the Leftism which has marked so much of Kalistan's history

Among the Government initiatives sponsored by the grand coalition:
The return of the Vrassan Name and Motto to Kalistan
The return of the National Past time and National Animal to Kalistan
The return of the correct name of the Capital District, as well as the traditional titles for high office holders
An outlawing of specifically cultural and religious Parties in Kalistan
The Re-establishment of ODEN and the founding of the National Oil Company (KALNAPECO)
The Re-establishment of traditional drug and economic policies in Kalistan
Restoration of the National Service Act and the National Food Bank, which have been neglected due to inadequate national attention

Additionally, SPoK has reopened their National Headquarters after a century in Kaliburg, Ananto District, and held its first major rallies in decades there.  Reporters on the scene estimated crowd between 50,000 and 75,000 SP supporters filling the streets in the blocks around the HQ before the last election, which swept SP candidates into office in 4 of 5 districts.  SPoK has their work cut out for them in reorienting Kalistan back to its long standing path and breaking Kalistan out of its self imposed isolation, but with the Majority in the National Assembly and key traditional posts in the Government, they do not expect much difficulty in rectifying Kalistan's situation.  Ultimately, Kalistan is better off for the KalKali interlude and the 4th Crisis, but in the long run, Kalistanis know that cultures come to Kalistan not to stand out, but to be homogenated into Kalistani culture and language.

Upset in SP National Convention
Society of the Bretheren member Bennots-Plum ousts Premier Carrangus on the 32nd ballot for Party Leader
Kaliburg, Ananto District
November 3, 3918

The Socialist Party of Kalistan's National Convention this year was widely expected to be a pretty mundane affair. Support for the current direction of the RFP-SPoK government was expressed, Interim Chair of ODEN, Hank Dubwise spoke before the convention, various resolutions were offered and debated from the floor, mostly dealing around the Advancement of ODEN and KALNAPECO, and the Potluck, a fairly common mainstay at recent SP conventions, was enjoyed by most, though it seems that the majority of the leftovers which were donated to the National Food Bank consisted of various incarnations of Three Bean Salad.  There was even a resolution offered which sought to ban the Three Bean Salad from future SP Convention Potlucks, but this motion ultimately failed because of the staunch opposition by the Suldanor and Odufaray delegations and the abstention of the Neveras Delegation.


SPoK Convention in Kaliburg last month, which led to the election of Jonas Bennots-Plum

All things were proceeding almost according to script when it came time to reaffirm Fredricka Carrangus as SPoK Party Leader going into the next election. At this point, a local activist from Neveras named Jonas Bennots-Plum rose to put forth his name. Bennots-Plum, whose great great grandfather moved to Kalistan from Mordusa in the late 3700s, and whose great grandmother married into the Bennots family, is particularly noted in Neveras for his work to spread the word of the Society of the Bretheren. He has had some minor success making converts of several hundreds of the unchurched in the District, and from there launched Annual meetings in each of the other 4 districts of Kalistan, aiming to reunite all the Betheren under one General Conference.

As Bennots-Plum put his name forward, several delegates rose in support of his candidacy. Carrangus' supporters, realizing the challenge immediately launched several procedural efforts to prevent or delay the vote. These delegates were not expecting a challenge to Carrangus' leadership during this convention. But Bennots' supporters gained control of the debate and were successful in calling the Question. Delegates who were on the fence supported Bennots' motions because, as they reported later, they thought the delay tactics of the Government bloc were underhanded and dishonest.

Voting went forward, and after the first ballot, neither candidate had a majority of votes. Speeches and debates immediately were entertained, as delegates broke into factions, one for Bennots, one for Carrangus, one for "delay" of the vote, and one for a late entry, Marina Delgado, who was one of the Ananto delegates and was the daughter of the former Governor. In total, 32 votes were called, with speeches between each, before enough delegates voted for Bennots to produce a majority on the floor. The deciding factor was Carrangus herself, who departed the convention in disgust after the 30th ballot. Her ardent supporters held on for one more vote, but ultimately, when it was clear that their candidate was not returning to the Hall, Bennots received the overwhelming majority of votes, making him Party Leader.

The Convention broke up after that point, as Bennots supporters left the Hall for late night carousing in Kaliburg. Meanwhile, the news of the election spread throughout Kalistan, and SPoK members in each major city held impromptu celebrations of the election. The most important aspect of the election was not the actual election itself but the near instantaneous increase in attendance at Bretheren Meetings in the following weeks. The Bretheren meetings, which numbered less than 10 nationwide before the election, have increased in number to over 50, with an average of 35 attendees per meeting, putting the number of regular Bretheren attendees at close to 2000. The remnants of the old Society of the Bretheren, throughout Terra, have been sought out for information, and what few tracts on the faith and practice of the Bretheren have been copied and sent for examination to Kalistan.


Jonas Bennots-Plum, New Leader of the Socialist Party of Kalistan and member of the Religious Society of Bretheren in Kalistan

Bennots is on record as saying that the tenets of Kalistani Socialism run parallel to the tenets of the Society of the Bretheren. He has on a number of occasions pointed out that Socialists would naturally make good Bretheren, and Bretheren would make great Socialists. The message is clearly resonating with a certain segment of the SPoK, who has, to this point, supported radical secularism in the law. "There is no contradiction on this point," Bennots stated last February. "Individual religion has absolutely no business serving as the foundation of civil law." But, he was quick to point out, this does not mean that all members of the SP must eschew individual religious or ethical belief. "The Bretheren advocate an ethical method of resolving dillemas. Governing along ethical lines is something that the SP has long supported, and the Bretheren method of faith and practice supports that same end."

The SP is still by an large non-religious, and Bennots has publicly stated that the SP will not become a religious Party affiliated with the Bretheren. But it is clear that Bennots and his followers have fully joined the Society of the Bretheren, and will remain so, at the same time as they work for socialism in Kalistan. Carrangus will remain Head of Government until the President proposes a new Cabinet.
