Electoral Campaigns Begin in USE
Solomonic Imperial News Agency Press Release | Illumina, Transattera, USE 22 SEP 2008
In the USE, the campaigns of the leading candidates of all of the political parties have begun in major fashion. The All Attera Party, the Atteran Party for Renewal and the Socialist Party of Great Attera all have had either conventions to determine who will lead their respective parties and run for Prime Minister of the United Solomonic Empire. General Ala ar Din, our current Prime Minister stepped down as the leader of the All Attera Party to allow for the election of the next party leader, but remains the Prime Minister until 1 December of this year, when a new Prime Minister will be sworn in. In the All Attera Party, Ras El-Far was the leading candidate for the top spot, but with allegations leveled against him for possible illegal activities outside of the USE tied to the current stand off with the pretender “Suleiman”, has decided to stand aside to face indictment in the Imperial High Court. The new candidate and party leader for the All Attera Party is Qenyazmatch Dmitri of the House of Tsuverov, a relative unknown but increasingly charismatic politician. Qenyazmatch Dmitri’s home fief is in Dahlakhia, which is further placing importance in this area of the USE, considering the Dahlakhian Kingdom of Tulsa’s admission into the Atteran Commonwealth. Qenyazmatch Dmitri has vowed to make further gains for the All Attera Party in the Yezawd Derg. Recently, due to General Ala ar Din’s popularity in the face of the pretender “Suleiman’s” antics, along with overwhelming interest in the Great Synod which is being held in Q’attera City, His Highness Dmitri has been an avid supporter of Prime Minister Ala ar Din’s policies. His Highness Dmitri has made it known that he will not only continue what he calls, “The Ala ar Din Success Story” but will use these policies as a foundation for his own initiatives. His Highness Dmitri, along with the majority of the All Attera Party is nationalist and far right in orientation.
Lady Ute, was elected as the new party leader of the Atteran Party for Renewal, replacing Dejazmatch Shawn of the House of Maggart, who has been a major force for increasing the popularity of the liberal leaning party. Lady Ute, who hails from West Interland, was instrumental in bringing to light several examples of Ras El-Far’s foreign supporters statements who are spread throughout the Intermicronational community. While the jury is out on the level of Ras El-Far’s involvement in these foreign micronations, Lady Ute has continued to voice her opposition to the continual domination of the All Attera Party in the USE. Her public divulgence of these transcripts has been strongly supported by the Atteran Party for Renewal, many citizens have mixed feelings about the political nature of the sudden revelation of these documents. From the Atteran Party of Renewal’s view, Ras El-Far’s alleged actions state the case for open borders within the USE and the Atteran Commonwealth itself, while dealing a damaging blow to the All Attera Party for perceived, flouting of the law. The All Attera Party continues to firmly state that the actions of Ras El-Far do not constitute a breach of the law, as anyone may have personal friendships throughout the Intermicronational community and the world wide web at large. The Atteran Party for Renewal is left of center on the political spectrum and advocates open borders with controls on foreign population in the USE and the Atteran Commonwealth nations.
The Socialist Party of Great Attera voted in Pashana Rianthe of the House of Gebre Tzion who has re-ignited the socialist political viewpoint in the USE, does not advocate the abolition of the monarchy, but feels that should the monarchy become a constitutional one, socialist policies could affect the USE in positive ways, as it would bring in more equality for all of the citizens of Great Attera. The Socialist Party of Great Attera is considered a revamped version of the past Socialist Party of the Imperial Rasinate. Their policies on the political spectrum are far left, but allow for accommodation for a constitutional monarch with extremely limited powers. Her Excellency Rianthe originates from the Sa’an Republic, but has made her home in Transattera since January, fulfilling the requirement of 4 months of residency within the USE.
