To the department head of Lyseria's international relations office,

President McKnight and his cabinet of the North American Federation of Independent Carolina have chosen to give their support to the PT party. Though we give this support to the party, however, we respect the people of your nations right to choose whatever party they wish to vote for, and will honor their decision.

I will just be noting the main parts of the Victoria Police Department Headquarters debate.

Primer Ministro María Ramos emphasised her 'revival' of the Lyserian Police Department after the cuts of the Torres administration. She asked police officers to continue to give their trust to her and to allow her to guide them on to greater heights. Ramos appealed to policewomen in particular, stating that she and Partido Conservador would ensure they were given an equal chance to succeed. The statement was seen as a side swipe to the Partido Nacional Libertad, whose second highest ranking Representative and head of PNL policy on Defence, National Security and Industry, Representante Julio Albañil yesterday reaffirmed his belief that women should not be allowed to serve in the military due to a lack of "physical and emotional toughness" and should "stay at home in the kitchen".

Representante Julio Albañil, campaigning in downtown Lopeziudad, stated he had "no comment" to all questions from reporters over whether he felt the same way about women serving in the police force, women in the Agencia de Seguridad Nacional Lyserio (ASNL), women in government religious departments, women in the Lyserian department of Justice and women in Parliament itself. Albañil appears to be trying to sell his veteran status while dodging talking about his sexist views.

Representante Marcos Delgado stated that he and his party had every respect for policewomen, and would ensure they had equal opportunity to succeed alongside brave policemen. Delgado emphasised the police spending increases he and his party had proposed to show that he and the PNL were the ones who truly understood the hard work of the police and what it takes for them to succeed. Delgado vowed to ensure more money for armoured cars, stun grenades and military grade weapons be provided to help prepare the police to respond against Islamic terrorist attacks should they arise.

Representante Isabela Pintor, the PT's head of policy on Police and a former policewoman herself, promised to give equal opportunities to Lyerian policewomen, and to take a tough stance against any cases of sexism and sexual harassment within the police department. Pintor stated that she and her party believed that the army should deal with any cases of terrorism, and that the police should uphold a secondary role in this regard.

Pintor also argued that one of the best ways to improve the lives of police is to reduce tension in Lyseria, by meeting reasonable student and labour union demands and by reducing poverty and income equality before they lead to tensions and crime. Pintor also stated that when free quality education was made available to all, any police wanting to further their education would have every right to take full time or part time courses at no tuition fees.

Pintor also said the quality of police - community relations could be improved through encouraging trust amongst poorer communities for police and encouraging youth from these communities to join them.

Líder de la Oposición en la Cámara de Representantes, Alejandro Romero stated he held the middle ground between the left and the right, stating that he supported some of the militarisation o the Lyserian police, to better equip them for tense conflict, and for dealing with terroristic threats. Romero stated that the level of funds the PC wanted put unreasonable challenges to the Lyserian budget. Romero argued that his proposals for government subsidies in education and healthcare, particularly for the poor, would help lower crime rates.

Representante Diego Vidal stated that he felt that the army rather than the police should handle any future terrorist attacks. Vidal stated that cutting taxes across the board would allow for greater investments and the growth of private business. Vidal stated this would lead to greater employment, which would lower crime rates and ease tensions on police. Vidal also stated that by cutting taxes on all, including police, they would be enabled to spend their hard earned money on what they actually wanted and needed to.

[Lyseria]

Victoria Police Commissioner Antonio Herrero has again expressed that he feels disrespected by the lack of presence of Representante Carlos Domínguez at the Victoria Police Headquarter debate.

Initial police reaction shows the PNL being most popular by a significant margin amongst policemen and by a narrow margin overall, while the PC being most popular by a significant margin amongst policewomen and second most popular overall by a narrow margin.

PP came in a far third in support from police.

The PT has some support from progressive policewomen from poorer areas, but essentially none amongst policemen. Domínguez's absence at the debate may further lower this minimal support amongst police.

The PL have essentially no police support, further harmed by Representante Diego Vidal's decision to go back to campaigning in the affluent and liberal areas of Victoria right after the debate, but his presence in the debate has been hailed as a sign of his respect for police by supporters.

[Lyseria]

In the mean time Representante Carlos Domínguez has been welcomed at Puertoro, where many of the workers and unemployed of this poorer city have rallied behind him, along with the students of Universidad de Puertoro (UP), who are still protesting for free quality education, a cause Domínguez supports.

Despite cementing this base, Domínguez still faces a frosty reception in the polls amongst the police, upper-middle class, upper class, businesspeople and conservative poor of Puertoro. His presence in the third largest city is more an act of shoring up support rather than making gains from these hostile elements of the electorate.

[Lyseria]

The ruling on Daniela López will be heard tomorrow in the Victoria court where she has been tried. The leader of the Partido Anarco-Comunista (PAC) was arrested on charges of disobeying lawful command by a police officer and obstruction of justice. López turned down two Royal Pardons, stating she would not accept one until quality free education was made available for all.

Daniela López's trial has bolstered PAC support throughout their campaign, and her ruling is expected to do the same. The ruling comes surprisingly swiftly, with the prosecution only spending three and a half days on it (Friday, Monday, Tuesday and the first half of today).

The effect of Representante Carlos Domínguez's decision to stay the course and campaign in Puertoro tomorrow rather than return to Victoria and attend the Victoria Police Department debate, discussion and review has started to show in the polls.

Domínguez has suffered a blow in the polls, with some moderates seeing as his more as disrespectful to the police, although many political analysts argue he would have faced a far greater blow had he abandoned his plan to visit Puertoro.

President Cole Xackerheat of the country of the Capitalist Republic of Tomure has arrived in Lyseria.

Primer Ministro María Ramos and Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores Eduardo Trompeta meet President Cole Xackerheat with a detachment of security and several squads of los Leones, the Primer Regimiento (First Regiment).

"Welcome to Lyseria President Xackerheat" says Primer Ministro Ramos, shaking his hand. "We will head off to the rally immediately if you don't mind? Campaigning has been brutal the last few days and we have limited time to spend with you, as much as we would enjoy to".

The convoy heads off to the rally at Sitio de la Victoria (Distrito 20).

[Lyseria]

At Sitio de la Victoria (Distrito 20), Representente Tomás Acero, the current representative of Distrito 20 introduces both Primer Ministro María Ramos and the special guest to Lyseria, President Cole Xackerheat of the Capitalist Republic of Tomure.

Primer Ministro Ramos gives a speech at the rally. She speaks about the historical importance of Sitio de la Victoria in forming the history of the proud kingdom, she says that in these close election this district may, once again, be the tactical battleground that decides the future of the nation.

She appeals to the voters to "continue to put their trust in" her, and to trust her to continue in her mission to rebuild the Lyserian economy after the disastrous and reckless social spending of the Torres administration which she states wrecked the economy. She appeals to voters to allow her to help them carry on rebuilding this economy, and to help the hard workers of Lyseria to raise Lyseria to greater heights still.

Primer Ministro Ramos also vows to keep Lyseria safe from Islamic terrorism, without making Lyseria an international pariah as she claims Representante Marcos Delgado of the PNL would do through breaching the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and having Lyseria develop nuclear weapons. Primer Ministro Ramos also took a swipe at the PNL, stating that unlike them, the Partido Conservador was a party that welcomed the support of hard working women as well as hard working men, a comment linking to the sexist comments of the Delgado's running mate, Representante Julio Albañil, who on Tuesday stated he believed women lacked "physical and emotional toughness" and should not be allowed to serve in the military and should "stay at home in the kitchen".

Primer Ministro Ramos also stated that she would restore order to Lyseria, that she would allow student protestors to protest on the private university property provided the private university management allowed this, and would allow them to protest on public land provided they filled out the correct forms.

However, Primer Ministro Ramos stated that she would ensure that the police arrest and detain "any of these violent thugs who damage or steal the property of private citizens, who threaten or harm private citizens and who blockade public areas or damage public areas, or who march through them without filling out the proper forms with the police".

[Lyseria]

Primer Ministro María Ramos now invites the special guest to Lyseria, President Cole Xackerheat of the Capitalist Republic of Tomure, to say what he wishes to.

After President Xackerheat delivers his speech he has been invited by Rey Alfonso Vailon XII to meet with him in the royal palace, El Palacio de la León Blanco.

[Lyseria]

The Court ruled today that, while Daniela López and her fellow protestors should have waited official approval from the Victoria Police Department for their request to legally march down a public road, given that the Victoria Police Department had expressed open hostility to such a request and had been very slow in allowing it, to the point where it seemed they would unreasonably deny it, that the decision by López and others to march was somewhat understandable, and thus the order for them to disperse had not been fully lawful and that she had not been obstructing justice.

The judge did chew out López for refusing to accept two Royal pardons, and so wasting the court's money and time to make a political statement. However, the judge also stated that the police department should have signed the official request for the protest march on a public road, even if it had been a less busy road. However, he noted that neither side had officially broken any laws.

The judge ruled Daniela López not guilty on the charges of not obeying lawful commands by an officer of the law and not guilty on the charge of obstruction of justice.

After this ruling it is expected many others who turned down royal pardons and are in prison for the protest will also be found not guilty in their up coming trials.

López's release is expected to cause a boost in the polls for her and her party, the Partido Anarco-Comunista (PAC), who have seen an increase in the polls strongly linked to the publicity the trial is getting.

[Lyseria]

Representante Carlos Domínguez has attacked Primer Ministro María Ramos for calling student protestors "violent thugs", and stated that no tensions would exist had the Ramos administration actually given in to the reasonable student demands.

Domínguez stated that this could be easily funded through the Ramos administration cutting back on on its corporate funding to big businesses, which he called "political-corporate corruption", cut military spending to unnecessary and militaristic foreign combat training and to the funding for increased drone creation and cutting religious spending that was biased in favour of traditional Roman Catholicism, arguing that the only government funding morality wise should be to the education department and should encompass multiple religions, multiple religious perspectives and secular moral theories.

Domínguez also stated that a progressive tax rate must be implemented, corporate loopholes must be closed and high levels of inheritance must be taxed, as part of a process of making the rich pay their fair share of taxes.

Ramos's statements have come as divisive, with many poorer and middle class voters finding Domínguez's statements more than reasonable given the current vast levels of income inequality, while many other voters, especially upper class voters, see Domínguez as a naive socialist who will wreck the economy and will open up Lyseria to the risk of Islamic terrorism.

The three news networks of Lyseria have released their second predictions on the percentages and the number of seats each party will win. They will update their predictions after the debate next week Friday and after significant events in the electoral race.

The MTP has been left off the León Novedades poll as all they don't consider it worth putting the joke party on. They just interview its members to get more views or use them to mock liberalism, leftism, progressivism and animal rights.

León Novedades: (Lyseria's most popular network, commonly seen as strongly right leaning, supports PC)

PC: 38% - 51 seats - Majority Government (reduced seats)

PT: 30% - 37 seats - Official Opposition
PNL: 20,5% - 11 seats - Opposition
PP: 4% - 1 seat - Opposition
PL: 4% - 1 seat - Opposition

PS: 1,5% - no seats
PAC: 1% - no seats
PPi: 0,5% - no seats
PAM: 0,5% - no seats

Noticiario Nacional: (Lyseria's second most popular network, swings toward the left, still seen as establishment and too conservative by many leftists, seen as far left by conservatives)

PT: 40% - 51 seats - Majority Government

PC: 26,2% - 37 seats - Official Opposition
PNL: 20% - 11 seats - Opposition
PL: 5% - 1 seat - Opposition
PP: 4% - 1 seat - Opposition

Noticiario Centro: (Lyseria's least popular official network, commonly seen as deeply establishment and somewhat pro-government, accused of being too leftist by conservatives and too conservative by leftists)

PC: 31% - 43 seats - Coalition Government (major coalition partner)
PNL: 20% - 10 seats - Coalition Government (minor coalition partner)

PT: 37,4% - 46 seats - Official Opposition

3 of the candidates of the 5 major parties are in Lopeziudad, the second largest city in Lyseria, pulling of some last day campaigning before the debate tonight at the Lopeziudad Teatro Nacional.

Primer Ministro María Ramos, Representante Carlos Domínguez and Representante Marcos Delgado all spent the whole day campaigning in this must win city.

Líder de la Oposición en la Cámara de Representantes, Alejandro Romero and Representante Diego Vidal did their last day campaigning in the key districts they hope to win in the Lyserian capital of Victoria, where they have spent essentially their entire time campaigning, before heading to the Lopeziudad Teatro Nacional tonight for the second and final debate.
