Elections bring Alternative-CN-PoT government
Monday 9 Septem 1597 CE
The first elections since the re-unification of Eskkya and North Strathae has today officially finished. The elections resulted in a further lurch to the right in Eskkya as a result of the joining of North Strathae into Eskkya along with increased popularity of The Alternative and CN with Alternative having only grown since the new further to the right leader took over the party. The party campaigned on an anti-religious extremist platform mixed in with a platform calling for increased controls on immigration. The party has also called for further enshrinement of protection of lgbt rights and womens rights into law including that of minorities. The party has been accused with the CN of using these issues as a tool to target minorities and court racists in Eskkya in an effort to attract more of the far right. A charge the party denies. A big issue on the campaign trail is calls for a new Anti-Extremism Agency being formed in Eskkya to list "extremist organisations and cults" and prevent the spread of dangerous or violent ideologies. Something that The Alternative , CN , PoT and CNP support in various forms.
The socialists campaigned on reform of immigration in order to make it easier for those who are law abiding and on focusing on services and public funding. The party accused the Alternative and CN of sabre rattling.
In Strathae the PoT enjoyed an increase in vote share from 44.95% to 52.19% mostly at the expense of the Clan Progressive Party. The Socialist Party and Democratic Alliance as expected lost seats due to reforms abolishing the non-clan list in assembly elections and federal seats. The results of the election resulted in Alternative and CN sweeping up over 60% of seats in all cantons except Rambouillet and North Strathae with the two parties also dominating assembly elections. Rambouillet as expected was unique with a Socialist-Green-Communist coalition taking power while Strathae was unique with PoT being the only party to gain power on its own without a coalition under the leadership of Blair Gobnet McLucais.The overall results of national elections was as follows:
National Congress:
Communist Party:5
Socialist Party:129
Green Party:30
Clan Socialist Party:20
Clan Progressive Party:12
DA:115
The Alternative:261*
PoT:52*
CN:194*
CNP:12
True Eskkya:0
Senate
Communist Party:0
Socialist Party:1
Green Party:0
Clan Socialist Party:2
Clan Progressive Party:1
DA:0
The Alternative:24*
PoT:6*
CN:16*
CNP:1
True Eskkya:0
The election is expected to result in a coalition of The Alternative, PoT and CNP under a nationalist right wing government which would have a majority of 92 with 507 out of 830 seats in the National Congress and 46 out of 51 seats in the Senate . The coalition agreement is rumoured to contain a clause making Blair Gobnet McLucais the Premier of Eskkya with it being the first time a minority party gains the Premiership of Eskkya. The CN are rumoured to be behind the unusual clause since their fallout with The Alternative. The government agreement is also expected to contain proposals to set up a listing system of cults and extremist religions as well as an Anti-Extremism Agency to monitor such organisations. The agreement is also expected to contain boosts to military spending to increase defense to better counter regional threats to national security , close economic relations with nations around the world especially with Lomarre and Valland , pushing for further co-operation within the SBTO. The document is also expected to contain the creation of a new Regional Development Fund and Bank, a commitment to greener policies throughout Eretzora and strengthened anti-extremism laws that allow for the deportation of "hate preachers". It has already been announced that new regulations shall control immigration especially from countries and communities with homophobic or sexist cultural tendencies.
On public services and Healthcare the government is expected to increase spending with a new 45% top tax rate bracket to be introduced on the richest in the nation among other taxes focused on raising some revenue for welfare and public services including public transport to create a more equal society. It is possible however access may be further restricted for immigrants to Eskkya though this is not confirmed as of yet.
