From ayrshirean 1:
Hello, welcome to the news at midnight. Our top story is that in the first ever ayrshirean election, the military party are running away with the vote. 59% have voted for them. Their biggest challengers are the liberals with 17%. labour are performing below expectations, with 12%, the racist party have 6%, as do the easy ayrshirean independence party.

In other news, the war on asia continues as the country we are defending has been occupied. Our grand fleet will blockade Phuket in 6 days.

That's about all from me right now, over to Sharon with ElectionWatch. Have a pleasant new day."

[Ryaanistan]

The United Socialist States of Ryaanistan is shocked by the growing number of military supporters. We must ask why this is for anyone who has voted military.

[Raswanistan]

We support the liberal party.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

We would support the Liberal Party, having similar ideals socially, especially on immigration, and on foreign affairs.

From Ayrshirean 1:
"hello, and welcome to the news at 22:00. Our top story is obviously the first elections, which have one more day to go until the winner is announced. So get voting! Right now, the military party maintain a close lead with 42% of the vote. However it is no longer a majority and the liberals, with 33%, are catching them up fast. The socialist labour party, however, are lagging behind, with 11%, the same as the East Ayrshirean Independence Party, who are surprisingly popular. The racist party are the laughing stock of the election, with 3% of the vote. The international community is apparently shocked that James McMillan and his Militaristic party are going to take power, not to mention abolish the monarchy. This is Ayrshirean 1 News, telling it like it is, and before we go to ElectionWatch, here's Seumas with the news on the war front."
