WBEA Integration Has Been a Major Talking Point in the Run Up to the 1586 Election
With the coming elections a year away, debates have already sprung up across the Federation as politicians and citizens alike prepare. While it has been an issue over the last three elections, the topic of the WBEA and further integration has proven to be a major sticking point in this election, with many already predicting the 1586 election to be a referendum of sorts on regional cooperation and integration.
While still in initial stages, there has been buzz among those affiliated with the WBEA on the prospect of further, non-economic integration between the members. While the WBEA wouldn't be affiliated specifically with any such actions, those currently working in the organization have spoken with excitement that the member governments have been making slow but steady steps towards something greater, though nothing serious has been decided yet.
In the meantime, the Federation approaches the 1586 elections with earnest, as the retirement of Ben Blanckenship, one of the primary proponents for the WBEA and regional cooperation, weighs heavily on the minds of voters. The Centrists, maintaining their stance, have come out clean that, while they wouldn't commit to anything serious, they would be open to talks on further cooperation with other WBEA members. The Federalists meanwhile, slammed the Centrists for risking Florinthian interests by yoking the Federation with states who have different attitudes on some issues, beyond obvious cultural and lingual differences.
The other parties have been more mum on the topic, though a few leading Liberal candidates have voiced dissent, while National Labour and Green candidates have appeared more sympathetic. Blanckenship himself refused to comment, stating this was a job and decision for the next set of leaders and that the election would show which side the people align with.
Florinthian politics has often been divided into eras marked by strong leadership bookended by pivotal elections. Many are expecting this next election to be one of those bookends, and so tension is high as candidates jockey for position within the hearts and minds of voters.
