Courlund goes to the polls in just over a month to decide who will become the President of Courlund. The election has been called only two years after the last due to the change around of the state and the new Federal Boundaries. For the first time a state electoral system will come into play, more on that latter. Now a quick look at the candidates. ![]() Name: Elijah Herschel Age: 41 Party: Courlund Jewish Alliance Policies: Elijah hopes to continue on the with the success he has already had over the last two years. Under his leadership the economy has stabilized, the Racial Laws have been repealed, the Armed Forces have been improved and he has helped to improve Courlunds status in the world; though he admits there is a long way to go before that is over. He has made two strong relationships with Ramlah and the USSV and helped to secure the freedom for Ramlah without a single Courlundish death so far. During his next term his main policy will be improved education and to tackle the growing unemployment problem. And to establish Courlund as a leading democratic nation in Renatia. As the current Vice President is about to stand down at the end of the election he has chosen his running mate from the cabinet. Bookies Position: 1st Main Support: South, South West ![]() Running Mate: Yaavok Chain Age: 37 ![]() Name: Shey Teival Age: 43 Party: Courlund Isolationists Policies: Shey wants to take Courlund of the world stage and focus on the nation. He would decrease military spending and scrap all but a handful of Nuclear Weapons. He is supported by thge working class and supports trade unions. In office his main target would be the increase in factories in the north and to tackle the northern unemployment problem. He would want some international relations but with no other first rate powers like Jogen, the M-V or Aus'tiana as he wants nothing to do with the nations of the Isb'ras accords. Bookies Position: 2nd Main Support: North, North East ![]() Running Mate: Gavriel Oppenhimer Age: 40 Name: Bradley Veniola Age: 49 Party: Courlund Communist Party Policies: When the former candidate was forced to resign just before the election the Communist Party looked done for. However Bradley Veniola has gained support where few thought he would. This is due to his more centrist idea and his hope to change the party from a Communist Party to the Democratic Socialist Party. He agrees with most things his old pratner did. He would tax no one under 20,000 and tax 43.23% if you earn over 80,000. Many have critised the party as the rich would simply move. He would increase the Nuclear Stockpile. Bookies Position: 4th Main Support: North West ![]() Running Mate: Laura Durain Age: 49 ![]() Name: Alizia Herut Age: 56 Party: Courlundish Liberal Alliance and Freedom Party Policies: Alizia is above all else a Liberal. She plans to slash the armed forces and totally get rid of all Nuclear and Biological weapons. In her government the armed forces would go from about 800,000-900,000 personell down to around 200,000-300,000. Similarly the budget would go from $310,000,000,000 to around $150,000,000,000- $170,000,000,000. She would legalize allot of drugs for personal use and would seek better relations with all nations, even the Islamic Empire. She is against religious states but believes in freedom of religion on all levels. She would be highly involved in the Community of Nations and around $120,000,000,000 a year would go into foreign aid for the nations who need it most. Bookies Position: 3rd Main Support: Liberal Minded No real power base. Running Mate: Terry Peroloa Age: 39 Minor: Green Party Islamic Alliance Courlund Socliaists Courlund Time Travelers Neuonian United Electoral System. Courlund was divided into 30 federal states last year. For the first time this year a new electoral system will come into affect where the states play a vital role. Each state will elect a govenor who then, on behalf of the State's People, votes for one of the parties (Obviously his/her own.) Each state has a certain number of votes they can use to support their party and this is decided by how many MPs have constituencies in that state. The largest if Acre (55) while the smallest is Shefa (6). So a Party could win most of the States and still lose. The State of Shefa - 6 The State of Ramat Gan - 20 The State of Yuesha- 10 The State of Haifia - 30 The State of Acre - 55 The State of El'ad - 21 The State of Safel - 15 The State of Babel - 20 The State of Larad - 19 The State of Petah Tikva - 19 The State of Yokneam - 19 The State of Modi'in - 17 The State of Davidsill - 16 The State of Arak - 8 The State of Atra - 17 The State of Letivot - 14 The State of Gallia - 16 The State of Sidat - 10 The State of Rehovot - 17 The State of Cour'atla - 9 The State of Kinneret - 5 The State of Givat Shumel - 7 The State of Petta - 9 The State of Ashkelon - 13 The State of Hadera - 20 The State of Modi'in Illit - 15 The State of Davidville - 17 The State of Yushea- 16 The State of Daa- 16 The State of Beersheba- 11 The encumbent President is likely to win with a landslide majority. |

![]() Courlund Jewish Alliance- 343/480 (18/30) Courlund Isolationists 118/480 (10/30) Courlund Liberal Alliance 0/480 (0/30) Courlund Communist Party 26/480 (2/30) State Results The State of Shefa - 6 The State of Ramat Gan - 20 The State of Yuesha- 10 The State of Haifia - 30 The State of Acre - 55 The State of El'ad - 21 The State of Safel - 15 The State of Babel - 20 The State of Larad - 19 The State of Petah Tikva - 19 The State of Yokneam - 19 The State of Modi'in - 17 The State of Davidsill - 16 The State of Arak - 8 The State of Atra - 17 The State of Letivot - 14 The State of Gallia - 16 The State of Sidat - 10 The State of Rehovot - 17 The State of Cour'atla - 9 The State of Kinneret - 5 The State of Givat Shumel - 7 The State of Petta - 9 The State of Ashkelon - 13 The State of Hadera - 20 The State of Modi'in Illit - 8 The State of Davidville - 17 The State of Yushea- 16 The State of Daa- 16 The State of Beersheba- 11 President Elijah Herschel is elected to office once more in an obvious landslide winning over 70% of the vote. Followed by the Shey Teival who gained a respectable 24% of the votes making him the obvious second place the third candidate Bradley Veniola gained just under 5.5% of the vote and the liberal candidate did not win a single state. This means that the Communist Party control 2 states, the Courlund Isolationists control 10 and the Courlund Jewish Alliance 17. Although there is only 7 states between the two rivals Courlundish States control over 80% of the nations economy and the majority of the population. In the above picture Elijah is standing not with his running mate, who has decided not to become Vice President, but the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Bartholomeus Yeho'ash, the 38 year old is the youngest Vice President and is seen as the strongest intellectual force within the party. The President has seen a sharp 13% rise in the economy, which sees the GDP Per Capita sore to over 5 Trillion, one of only three nations to reach that mark along with Jogen and Aus'tiana. President Herschel has expressed on many occasions how much he wishes to meet with the Western Neighbours and improve relations like they were before the formation of the NU. President Elijah Herschel has become with out a doubt the most popular politician in Courlundish History and has encouraged an influx of Political University Graduates. Also during his rule young people joining the party has grown by over 200%. |
