Politics: WBS Exclusive, a special look at the up-coming by-election which begins Sunday Well, there’s another by-election upon us, so the WBS has put together a little by-election history, and sort of a pre-game show for the upcoming by-election. Amerada’s legislature history began as the first ever election came to an end, April 12th, 2001. The 2 month long election, was for the office of the Prime Minister, and in away for the first government. Amerada didn’t have any legislative rules at that time, so when Earl Washburn won, he started Amerada’s first legislature traditions. The opposition only had one member anyways, so there was one leader of the opposition, and the rest of the legislature would be made up of the Prime Minister’s cabinet. The cabinet grew larger over time, and thus more members for the ruling DLPA. Eventually, the opposition dissolved. But, eventually opposition would return to Amerada. However, they couldn’t get into the Amerada legislature, because it was already full. Eventually, a set of rules was created (also known as the Legislature Act of 2001). This set a date of January 1st, 2002 where the ruling government had to fill 10 seats. The ruling DLPA, only could fill 9, and thus there had to be a by-election Amerada’s first. A DLPA member won this, but before any work could be done, the Deputy Prime Minister at the time, William Steeves resigned, leaving another spot open, and Amerada’s second by-election was called. This time, a member of the opposition MSA, Nicholas Bridgewater won, creating the job of opposition member once again. These seats would hold, until alas one of the 9 DLPA members resigned, and thus Amerada’s third by-election! The results…. Amerada

Past elections in the Northeast riding, and riding Details: Riding-07 (Northeast) includes the villages of Denohn’s, Oh Scotia; Pittsutimi, Virgrritory; Kansaohn, North Cerritories; and Bosbec City, Califario. The population is approximately 1150. Only one multi-party election has been held in this region, and that was the Califario legislative elections. Oh Scotia also has had legislative elections, but the village of Denohn’s had not been incorporated yet, and has not had any by-elections since. The Califario election obviously only covered Bosbec City, but Bosbec City makes up for 60.1% of the riding’s population. The Califario legislative election resulted in the Communist Party of Califario winning with 57 votes, then the Republican Conservative Alliance of Califario with 19 votes, then the Democratic Liberal Party of Califario with 12, then the Monarchist Society of Califario with 1. Califario doesn’t use the system Amerada does in their elections, (with the ridings) but most of the Communist Party representatives come from Bosbec City. This could bean for an interesting election, and perhaps a PRP surprise victory? The candidates, pros and cons: Jonathan Weatherhead, DLPA Pros: He’s been a citizen of Amerada longer than any of the candidates, and has the support of a party that has more members than all of the other parties combined, then doubled by two! Cons: May be seen as a lazy inactive person, because of past experiences, which could seriously affect his chances. Scott Noseworthy, RCAA Pros: Mr. Noseworthy is very active, and would make a good member of the Amerada legislature, and may get a lot of the undecided vote, and any MSA vote there may be, especially in Denohn’s. Cons: As popular as Mr. Noseworthy is, we believe he’d probably rather be elected from his home constituency of Tebec, rather than a riding located so far off from his home. Plus, Mr. Noseworthy has little desire of entering federal politics.
Chris Donle, NDP Pros: He may get the vote of the “alternate left winger” or all those people who are left winged, but don’t like the DLPA. He’ll probably be very active as well. The riding does cover part of his home colony, which should get some support, as the “home town candidate.” Cons: His party is still very new, and has little national support out side of his colony. Other parties (MSA and A-PRP): Pros: There seems to be a lot of Communists in Bosbec City, and the MSA is in power in Oh Scotia, so don’t count these parties out! Cons: None of these parties chose anyone to run, so they are only likely to get the “non of the above vote” July 10th:
Andropov saves A-PRP from death WASHIAWA-(WBS) Tuesday, the only member of the Amerada People's Revolutionary Party, Yuri Andropov (who was previously assumed gone from Amerada) announced the A-PRP is still alive. This coming just days before the one month warning on the life of their party expired. Yuri has assumed position as party leader. Some good news for the PRP, Mr. Andropov has been named Governier of Floerta, as well as named Head of the Amerada Central Bank.
