Back in early May, The Federal Republic of Australatina overthrew the incompetent strongman Philip V. Delici, General Secretary of the Partida de Obrero Maoistas, in a rapid dissolution of government authority known as Operation Bolivar. Many thanks were had to the UN forces that assisted these freedom fighters, with Canadian troops being particularly beloved by the populace. The liberation of San Felipe with the assistance of a battalion of the 82nd Airborne was also well regarded by the Democratic forces behind the revolution, with KOFO being the main force behind the movement.

Since that time, the elections for a new government have been underway as homes are built, repaired, and food is distributed. Five major parties have come about, primarily from the opposition forces and critics of the old government.

Partida Liberal: The Partida Liberal is a Social Democratic party that was founded by long time critics of the old POM. It in some ways is seen as the successor to the Partida Rosada, the socialist party the POM overthrew with Soviet aid. This gave it some extra resources in the form of the expatriate community.

Communion Catolicos: The Catholic Communion is a Centrist Christian Democratic Party that had its roots in the late '90s. Headed by Father Ricardo Valero, the Bishop of San Felipe created a peaceful underground movement designed to demand non party unions and some personal rights. This gives them support in the capital regions

Derecha Republicana: The Republican Party of Australatina is a recent invention, with a variety of people horribly unhappy with the idea of the Partida Liberal taking the reins. It is most in tune with the GOP of the US, and in particular are fans of the populist candidate for that party Donald Trump. Their anti-authoritarianism makes them rather popular to those sick of the long communist reign.

Anglican Union: The Anglican Union is the party for los Ciscadios, the English speaking people that form a strong minority in the nation and are the majority in Ciscadia province. They seek to make sure that the long persecution of their people doesn't happen again. They seek some autonomy and guaranteed rights.

Union del Bosque: Founded by disatisfied Indigenos thinkers and environmentalists the Forester's Union seek to fix the damage the POM did to Australatina's environment. In particular they have a strong hatred of roads and cars, seeing them as a symbol of the excesses of the old regime. They seek to rip out redundant roads and make the remaining infrastructure more efficient and nicer to the environment.

Besides these five parties are independent candidates who have their own stances.

It is up to the people to decide who will make up for the dreadful reign of Las Papas, as the clownish former leader is now known by.

tl;dr vote for someone to basically pull a Billy Mays on Phil's shitty country.

The proud independent people of the Autiszteca support the Communion Catolicos, all the way. Australatina's Catholic heritage has been brutally suppressed for too long. Also, free wine on Sundays, yo.

While Adam Chatoyer is silent on the coming election, his always-outspoken teenage daughter Nyoka has vocally declared her support for the Anglican Union and the Union del Bosques in a recent interview with The Pacifica Scope

"For too long, the people of Australatina have suffered from the destruction of their physical and mental environments. Too many Anglophones and indigenous people have had their houses destroyed, their villages completely flattened, to make way for another monstrous overpass. Many indigenous people are losing their languages, their cultures, even their names of their tribes! The crumbling infrastructure forced onto our sister nation by DeLici and his cronies must be destroyed, and the rubble shall be used to build a new Australatina!"

When asked for a comment, President Chatoyer only said "She gets that from her mother"

I nominate myself, Broseph Stalin, commander of the 69th Mounted Skeletal Death Squad, slayer of the fuckbois, warrior of the northern wastes of Canada, and conqueror of the southern oil lands of Texas. There will be GREAT CHANGE within the borders of Australatina. The oppressed minority of CIS people shall rise again and take back the lands that were stolen from them by the wretched tranny fuckboi menace!

The results are in: The Anglican Union came in as the first party past the post. This autonomist party was originally founded by the Ciscadian minority that makes the north of the Central American nation their home. They found appeal from Indigenos who did not wish to vote for a one issue party, and several notable minorities, including the Sephardi Jews that survived the Little Shoah and the Shi'a Muslims, who were also targeted at the end of ex-strongman Philip Delici's rule. They won this election primarily due to vote splitting and an enthusiastic voter base. Michael Davis, the head of this party, has become the first elected president of this republic since the early 1970s.

Derecha Republicana, under Guillermo de Mayo, experienced resistance in the form of a variety of write-ins. These write-ins ranged from bids by local caciques such as Jose D'Acero, an influential member of KOFO who ran his own independent bid. Another local cacique, Randall Lahey also merited a strong movement due to his pledge to construct affordable housing and utilities for the long suffering people. It was thought that strong bids like this and the utter collapse of Partidal Liberal bids weakened the bids of Derecha Republicana and other such parties. In spite of this, due to vote distribution, Guillermo de Mayo holds the second most amounts of seats, making him a natural pick to coalition with the Anglican Union. de Mayo claims that he's willing to do so if selected by Davis, noting great enthusiasm in doing so. However, D'Acero and Lahey have enough influence as members of KOFO to also be a choice. It is up to that camp (@Broseph Stalin @Randy Lahey ) to decide; however either coalition would have a majority, a good sign for better governance.

NEW HIBERNIA
July 4th, 2016

The people of Australatina's sister nation, New Hibernia - many of whom are related to Anglophone refugees who fled the dictatorial reign of Phillip Haskins-DeLici - cheered the election results of their sister nation. The win for the Anglican Union was a pleasant surprise for many international news outlets, but New Hibernians say that it was inevitable that such a party would come into power.

"Lotta peoples outside Da Lands (Australatina and New Hibernia) dunno dat dere still lotsa English-talkin 'migos (friends) out dere", said bar-owner Pedro Martins of Port St. George. "Dey just been 'pressed (opressed). Da gubbermint Over Dere (Australatina) - dey mal homens (bad guys), dey are - dey used to kill peoples for speakin' Giria (creole). But we kept speakin' Giria at home, cuz Giria's da language of da soul. Even da peoples who speak Espanyol speak in Giria - when da Troopies (secret police) weren't scooching! (listening)"

The Giria creole - the street language of New Hibernia and Australatina's anglophone minority - was heavily shunned in Australatine society. Before Haskins-DeLici's coup, students were beaten by teachers for speaking it. Under Haskins-DeLici, the Maoist government tried to eliminate the language entirely - which just bolstered preservation efforts in New Hibernia

President Adam Chatoyer congratulated Michael Davis on his victory, saying "The people of Australatina have made the wise decision to abandon the prejudices of the past to forge a new nation". And in what New Hibernians are calling "the only surprise of the night", Nyoka Chatoyer tweeted that she and Guillermo de Mays had gone drinking together the week before, saying that "de Mays is the best drinking buddy you can ask for. Hope that translates into political skills! #July42016

Write-in. The Special Brush Party.

I actually think this forum could use a "Wat" rating. It doesn't need one. This forum doesn't need anything but a constant brutal spanking from reality for all of it's topics and the vast majority of it's posters (including myself). But it could use a neutral "Wat" rating all the same.

Oh, and uh I guess Union del Bosque just cause it looks like it's losing.
