Lord Frost Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Today President Devon Frost called the first Languedoc elections for National Parliament. "We have currently been operating on a "stand-in" Parliament" the President explains to the Press. "I think its time we held we held our elections properly so that the people of Languedoc choose their Government" In a stunning surge of Party creation, 5 unique Parties have already pushed themselves onto the national stage in hopes to be elected. These 5 groups have been campaigning hard already to receive support from the populace. From Dijon to Montpellier, election fever has set in. Lets look into the candidate parties; Parti Nationaliste (Nationalist Party): The Parti Nationaliste comprises of a strong following of French nationalist candidates and people. The Parti Nationaliste has already named its long and short term goals should it win the majority in Parliament. Their long term goals are the revival of French culture and language across the NC, the unification of the French peoples, and the establishment of Languedoc as a European Power. Short term goals include nationalization of industry and business, a boost the Armed Forces, some other serious reforms which have yet to be disclosed Parti Socialiste (Socialist Party) Parti Socialiste is growing Socialist movement within Languedoc, starting almost immediately with the founding of the country. The Parti Socialiste seeks to put government control over major business and industry and to strengthen ties with similar governments world-wide. Turning Languedoc into the Cultural Center of Europe is their major long term goal, with peaceful relations with most Mediterranean and European nations as a secondary. No other list of short term or other long term goals have been released Restauration de la Communaute (Community Restoration Party) Restauration de la Communaute is a French revivalist Party, whose major goals both long and short term are the revival of French culture and language both Languedoc and Europe wide, and most importantly a return to French Pagan ideals. This party has seen wide-spread support amongst the rural regions, and a healthy support in cities like Dijon and Limoges. Communaute members claim this party speaks more to Europe as it is current, and would bring Languedoc closer to friends and allies in the NC Parti Démocratique Way (Democratic Way Party) Parti Démocratique Way is a democratic right wing party to stand against nationalist and left wing parties in Languedoc. Long Term goals are privatization and expansion of Languedoc industry and business, a weaker government role in the affairs of the state, and an increase in Christian Values. Extreme elements of the party call for the end of Secularization of the Government, however more moderate members are more concerned with the strength of the Armed Forces and how to decentralize the Government Parti Vert (Green Party) Parti Vert seems to have come from unexpected places. Nobody is quite sure where their support comes from, as it is wide spread and not localized in any one place. Parti officials were unavailable for comment, as they are currently sitting in jail for marijuana use OOC: why mess with success Parties will be answering questions from the international community should questions be posed.

Sarah Tintagyl Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 **To The Socialist Party** First, I would like to say that, the Hanseatic government is extremely impressed with the goals you have laid out for your administration if elected. However, how do you intend to make Languedoc a cultural center? Such as, what reforms will be taken on? What area will the reforms be in? What are the extent of the reforms? We would also like to know, what is your take on the constant tension between your Nordic neighbors and the Communist International and will the rising tension if ever leads to war how will Languedoc react? -HBC Press Corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the ways that we hope to bring Languedoc as the Cultural Center of Europe; put the government in control of the Function of the country, and let the people move on to Define the country. Another way we plan to do this is to restrict the Armed Forces to defense duties only, converting the National Guard into Reserves instead of its own entity. Further reforms, which will include peaceful relations with all in the Mediterranean and European theater, is to put Peace above the desires of others by making Languedoc a Neutral Entity in Europe. This applies to the world as well; settle your disputes across a Languedoc table in our capital" Harmon stops for applause by his supporters who gather to here him speak "The growing tensions between our Allies and Friends and cousins in the Nordic Confederacy, and our Allies, friends, and even cousins in the ComIntern is an unsettling prospect which may end up turning into a devastating war in the future. Europe does not need to see anymore war on such scales; the world is already beginning to suffer the consequences of the Nuclear Fallout from the LAST war. I would not be surprised to see an Ice Age come soon. Should the Parti Socialiste achieve Majority in this election, I can promise that it will be Languedoc which will attempt to lead the way to settling the issues between both groups" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberstein Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 The Republic of Mariehamm supports the "Democratic Way" party. "French Culture has not been Pagan since the Gauls. This party, while perhaps a bit religious for my tastes, is the most sensible of the lot." -Uberstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargun II Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 The Times-Picayune ran an article recently about how many of the parties put Languedoc culture as one of their main points - especially the revival and establishment of French culture. It asked in an open letter what the stance of Languedoc would be to Louisiana as a whole and our own culture that derives from France from each of the Community Restoration and Nationalist Parties. It also noted that a nation-wide poll showed citizens overwhelmingly favoring the Socialist party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toulouse Courier was given the task responding to the Times-Picayune in their open letter to the CRP and NP, with statements from both parties as to their stance regarding our cousins in the America's. Communaute responses included warm promises of continued relations with Louisiana, though near the end of their response, things got a bit religious as Communaute also promised to aid Louisiana in returning to its French Pagan roots. Nationaliste response to the Picayune letter indicated many promises of alliances, and continued cultural and friendly relations, and at the end a promise to attempt all of this anyway even if the Parti didn't win majority in Parliament.

Uberstein Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 "Recreating the French Pagan roots would betraying the French Culture. France is not Gaul, and while Gaul's culture certainly must be preserved, it must not replace modern French culture." -Uberstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Frost Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Elections Closed: Parti Socialiste Sweeps Victory, 3% short of 50% victory "This is a grand day for Socialism and the Parti and Languedoc" said Party Chairman Benoit Harmon, who stood before a roaring crowd at the close of the elections. Parti Socialiste has swept Languedoc's First Election, beating what was originally thought to be the favored Parti Nationaliste and all other opposition. With a 47% control of the National Parliament, Parti Socialiste is dangerously close to having Half of Parliament under their control, and only 10 seats short of having a Super Majority (though this is, in another sense of the phrase, a Super Majority in itself). Benoit Harmon has already announced that the Parti will begin work immediately on the Reforms he promised a few days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
