Wilfur Scrydan accepting the CPP nomination
In an unprecedented turn of events the sitting Saeardwalda Torr Durwin has failed to gain his parties nomination for the upcoming Saeardwaldan election. His historically low approval ratings featured prominently in the eventual winner's , Wilfur Scrydan, campaign. Scrydan, the former Earldorman of Sewardshire and current General Secretary of the Shipworker's Union, won the run-off election with 57% of the vote and will represent the Commonwealth Progress Party.
In his acceptance address Scrydan addressed the rise of the Free Liberals in last weeks Folkmoot election, where they gained more than 150 seats to become the second largest party, eclipsing the CPP itself and surpassed only by the Worker's Party. ''We will not allow this great nation to fall back into the hands of the capitalist elite. For decades we have worked, with our friends in the WP, to deliver socialist progress in the face of right wing opposition. That progress, all we have worked for, is under threat. It comes as no surprise to me that the right is fighting back now. They know their death knell is upon them. They spent millions upon millions to buy votes last week, and still the left wing parties outnumbered them from than two to one. I thank Torr for all the work he has done, and I ask him to work with us as we fight to win this election.''
The CPP are the first of the major parties to announce their candidate, with the Free Liberals set to do so in the coming days. There have been rumours that the CPP and the Worker's Party may run on a joint ticket. An inside source told the ST that a close ally of Scrydan is negotiating with senior WP officials to come to an arrangement that would see a WP as Vice-Saeardwalda and potentially foreign minister. If true this is a clear sign the leftist bloc that has dominated Saeardish politics for thirty years feels genuinely threatened by the Free Liberals.
