WBU General Elections 1600 - Flo - 05-22-2019
WBU GENERAL ELECTION 1600
This is the second General Election in WBU history and looks to set the government for the next six years. The previous administration was led by the Center-Right Coalition with Prime Minister Klaus Ofthevek being charged with leading the young government to establish much of its systems. Other chief accomplishments of the Ofthevek government were engaging in cooperative talks with the region, namely with the Essig Conference. That being said, there is an opportunity for the other coalitions, as there always is. Below are the coalitions and their general goals for the upcoming term.
The Coalition of Liberals and Democrats - CLD(Center-Right Coalition):
Led by: Klaus Ofthevek (Oslanburg), first Prime Minister of the WBU
Member Parties:
-Florinthus: Liberal Party
-Galeae: The Moderates
-Oslanburg: Oslanburg Democratic Party
-Vienland: Justice Party of Vienland
The center right coalition was the first to lead the WBU, with Klaus Ofthevek serving as its first Prime Minister. They have a base in every member state, though their strongest position is in Oslanburg, which helps them in terms of running the WBU and gives them a high likelihood of winning the elections and the Prime Ministers seat again.
The center right coalition more or less wishes to stay the course in terms of directing the WBU. They are particularly interested in continued continental cooperation and see the Essig Conference as the first of many.
They are keen on upgrading the WBU military and want to invest in it.
The center right coalition respects the rights of the member states and does not want to become too involved in their affairs, outside of what is necessary.
The center right see the WBU as a global force for good and desire to assert WBU interests abroad, though not as much as the Right coalition may want.
The People's Party Union - PPU (Center-Left Coalition):
Led by: Alan Northrop (Florinthus)
Member Parties:
-Florinthus: Centrist Union
-Galeae: Social Democrats
-Oslanburg: United Labour Party
-Vienland: Liberal Democrats
The center left coalition is the main opposition coalition to the center right and has the best chances of overtaking them in the coming election. They too have a base in every member state but are particularly present in Florinthus, where the Centrist Union has been in power for many years.
The center left coalition agrees with the center right on diplomacy, which was one big reason why the products of the Essig Conference had no trouble passing in the WBU. They however, want even more than the center-right do in terms of economic cooperation and open borders, though that is a long way away.
The center left union is more interested in exerting the strength of the new government of the WBU and sees the necessity of getting involved at least somewhat in state affairs. Theyre interested in reforming education to bring all of the member states in line to provide a universal WBU diploma.
They are less interventionist militarily and diplomatically, and see the WBU as primarily a peace-keeping entity rather than an aggressor.
The Federalist Party Group FPG(Right Coalition):
Led by: Seba Kristofersson (Galeae)
Member Parties:
-Florinthus: Federalist Party, National-Labour Party
-Galeae: The Conservative Party
-Oslanburg: None
-Vienland: The Sentric Union
The right coalition was the last coalition in terms of seat share in the prior government, but sees an opportunity to gain votes from members who are disgruntled with the WBU overreach. Their primary base is in Galeae and Vienland, though there are pockets in Florinthus as well. There is no party in this coalition from Oslanburg, limiting their ability to take leadership.
As well, the right coalition struggles with differing goals. The Federalist Party in Florinthus, for example, is very WBU-skeptic, and wishes to limit its ability to influence member states. The Conservative Party in Galeae, however, is not WBU-skeptic at all, and sees the WBU as a good thing.
One thing the right coalition agrees on, however, is the military. They desire for the WBU to be the most powerful military on the planet, and want it to exert its influence abroad in a marked way. Lanlania has been the leader of Brigidna for too long, and the WBU has a prime opportunity to take its place if it plays its cards right.
In general the right coalition will vote for anything that strengthens the WBU in relation to other countries while not overreaching into the rights of member states.
The Alliance of the Left - AL (Left Coalition):
Led by: Braun Ople (Oslanburg)
Member Parties:
-Florinthus: The Left
-Galeae: Galeaen Labour Party
-Oslanburg: Social Democrats
-Vienland: The Socialist Union
The Left coalition is a combination of socialists, communists, and general leftists in the various states. They have limited pockets in all members, but get most of their seats from Oslanburg. They have almost no support in Galeae and Vienland, which limits their strength, but not in a terribly significant way. The left coalition was the third coalition in the previous government.
The left coalition is focused on empowering the state in WBU. They see the WBU as a strong and guiding hand for the member states as well as the region at large. Moreso they see the WBU as being an actor for promoting the wellbeing of the people in the WBU and abroad. They are moderate on immigration, with some of the parties being pro and some more populist elements against. Their stance on the military is that a strong one is needed for a country like the WBU to do what it needs to so, but they're not particularly interventionist either.
Much of the lefts focus is domestic, but they are neutral on the subject of further cooperation with the continent, so long as WBU workers are protected properly.
Coalition of United Green Parties - CUGP (Green Coalition):
Led by: Akilah Mounib (Florinthus)
Member Parties:
-Florinthus: Green Party
-Galeae: Green Party
-Oslanburg: Greens
-Vienland: Green Vienland
The green coalition is a sustainability-focused coalition of parties that desire a greener, more environmentally conscious WBU. They have limited support in all states, but are unlikely to ever gain any sort of leadership role. They are most popular in Florinthus, where visionary leader and immigrant advocate Akilah Mounib has found a wide following.
The green coalition is focused on sustainable growth. Their focuses are on the following: Renewable energy and transit options that limit the necessity for automobile usage. They are also non-interventionist in terms of military usage and focus on defense rather than being any sort of aggressor.
