The Democratic Republican Party is a Strong Favourite to Win the Election
Month Since the Republican Directorate Announced the 2015 General Election and Voting has Commenced Nationwide
Citizens of the Republic casting their votes, as their obligation as citizens.
With a month passing since the Republican Directorate has announced the commencement of the election period, and with the campaigns over, all that is left is the voting. Which kicked off today all around the nation, with millions of citizens casting their votes as part of their democratic obligation due to the Republic. As voting is compulsory, it is paramount that you get to a polling station and cast your vote either tomorrow or the next day if you haven't already. If you fail to do so, and don't have a valid excuse, you will face a hefty fine. President Ó Faoláin cast her vote by post yesterday, and it is expected that the Republican Directorate will cast their votes tomorrow in public. As usual, the Democratic Republican Party (DRP) are expected to win yet again. The DRP have been in power continuously since the Revolution in 1795, owing this due to their brilliant connections with the Ardokian people. The Liberal Conservative Party (LCP) is expected to lose again, having been in opposition since its foundation in 1939, with possible loses in the north-east and north-west of the country due to the recent corruption scandals involving senior party leadership. With the Democratic Republican Party's recent party reforms, grassroots participation of party members involvement with party policy has increased further, leading analysts to predict that it is quite likely that some of the swing-electorates in the north-east and north-west might well defect over to the DRP.
