我非常高興得到Conternian總理Etan Bloomberg的支持:“Laeral在這次選舉中面臨一個明確的選擇,在兩個未來之間:一個由恐懼,迷信和暴行定義的未來,或者一個進步,平等和善良的未來。看到後者體現在劉美涵省長身上,劉梅涵是她的國家忠誠的僕人,也是社會中弱勢群體的正義和權利的前任倡導者。“今天我也非常高興見到漢水的警察和支持者,因為我制定了更安全的社區和更好的警察與社區關係的計劃。
Je suis très heureux de recevoir l'aval du Premier Ministre Conternien Etan Bloomberg: <<Laeral est confronté à un choix clair entre deux futurs: un avenir défini par la peur, la superstition et la brutalité, ou un progrès, une égalité et une gentillesse. I voir cette dernière incarnée dans la gouverneure Liu Mei-han, loyale servante de son pays et ancienne défenseure de la justice et des droits des personnes vulnérables dans la société.>> J'ai également été très heureux de rencontrer la police et ses sympathisants à Hanshui aujourd'hui, alors que je présentais mon plan pour améliorer la sécurité des quartiers et améliorer les relations entre la police et la communauté.
I'm very glad to receive the endorsement of Conternian PM Etan Bloomberg: "Laeral faces a clear choice in this election, between two futures: a future defined by fear, superstition and brutality, or one of progress, equality, and kindness. I see the latter embodied in Governor Liu Mei-han, a loyal servant of her country and an erstwhile advocate for justice and the rights of the vulnerable in society." I was also very happy to meet with police and supporters in Hanshui today, as I laid out my plan for safer neighborhoods and better police-community relations.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|

Just now from Rilos, Cenefort
I just read on "Le Pays": a student at Gauvain Intermediate School in Garnier, Harcour, is in a coma after being beaten by classroom bullies. As parents, we can't let this happen to our nation's children. MAJOR disciplinary changes are needed. School uniforms. More leeway for teachers to enforce their authority. Qualified teacher hiring and dismissal. As President, I will FIGHT for our childrens' wellbeing. No more tolerance for bullying.

As the second part of the election in Laeral draws near, I'd like to remind everyone, but especially Laeralites, that voting is so important in safeguarding democracy. I would encourage all Laeralites to participate in the political process, regardless of how they intend to vote. In my opinion, the right choice is Liu Mei-han, but ultimately it is up to the people of Laeral. I hope whoever wins, we can strengthen ties between our two nations.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|

Even President Brennan will admit that there are foreign forces meddling in Laeral's election! Laeralites should be VERY suspicious, particularly of Kerlile who have shown that they are meddling in foreign affairs these days. Kerlile will stop at NOTHING to stop Damien Vendorme winning, and if he loses we should all be very suspicious.

Liu Mei-han is always talking about how she grew up in public housing in Hanshui. Mei-han says she was hard-off. But was she really? Little known FACT: Liu inherited M18,000 from her ultra-rich grandmother when she was ten years old, and kept it in a secret bank account. Her degrees are from Sun Jia-Wei NOU, and then SciencePol. Very bougie. She's just as much an elite as Tanvi Misra, no matter how she tries to hide it.

Wrote a shout out just a while ago:
“A city and community of people that both represent the best about the Allied States of Laeral’s scientific history and civilisation have been attacked by those who wanted to bring one of our closest trading partners back to the worst kind of pre-industrial barbarism, and the Yohannes First Party must stand with the people of Laeral. We condemn the December assaults on civilisation, freedom and peace by political extremists in the strongest possible terms. I commend the promise made by Delegate Damien Vendorme to pursue and bring to justice the offenders behind this national act of wickedness.
Let us remember why and how these assaults on freedom take place. The perpetrators behind Cordeliers do not just want to assault the freedom of peace-loving citizens. Instances such as Cordeliers show that they want to strike fear and trepidation on all citizens of civilised nation-states beyond the International Incidents—just like Homofront in New Edom and Bluepeace in Yohannes, which have tainted the name of forward-thinking conservationists and the peaceful lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender plus movement. It is wrong. It is unfair. And it fills me with heartache.
Terrorist in Cordeliers; terrorists from Homofront and Bluepeace—they win when we admit defeat to the fear and sense of trepidation that they try to bring. They win when we try to strike back with equal anger. They win when we attack and turn on those who have been misrepresented by these extremist organisations. They win when our only response is vengeance. They win when we try to abandon our open-mindedness to Change and try to portray all freedom-loving lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people as bad people; or all environmentalists and conservationists as our enemies; or all cultural traditionalists in Laeral as backward bigots. They win when we generalise an entire group of people as one.
But this is wrong. It is when we feel to exact revenge that our humanity must take over: to show that we are loving and just people—the faith taught by the Lord Jesus Christ the son of God to his apostles.”

I like Damien Vendorme, but I really wish he'd stick to the issues instead of trying to take cheap shots at Liu Mei-Han. Don't you have faith in your policy platform? I for one think it's worth talking about, and I'm certain the common man struggling to get by is far more interested in your plan to help make things better then the latest tabloid gossip.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|

The People's Party will support anti-gang legislation, and put more cops on the streets to protect our neighborhoods and communities. We will stand in solidarity with our police officers, and increase funding for programs to stop gang recruitment at schools. We will speed the confirmation of judges, to create a swifter justice system. We will introduce tougher screening laws for immigrants to prevent crime from entering our nation. We will crack down on the crime syndicates that practically manage our inner cities. We will bring to criminals the punishments they deserve.
And we will prosecute the militants and radicals responsible for killing Christian Zhou and bringing chaos and violence to the streets of Cordeliers. Election Day is in two days. Our opportunity to create a safer Laeral is now.

Malcom Cadiou (@malcomcadiou)
Just now from Les Couloirs Headquarters, Laeralsford, Laeral
For a recap of what’s at stake: Laeral’s voters go to the polls to elect a new president today. The election’s been dogged by allegations of foreign election interference and a brutal and lengthy campaign with an astonishing number of candidates. From the first round came Delegate Damien Vendorme, of the right-wing Laeralian People’s Party. He’s campaigning on a platform of economic expansion and a return to traditional values; he’s quite the culture warrior. Running against him, on a more optimistic platform that’s been criticized for lacking distinct policy goals, is Governor Liu Mei-han, the founder of a new political party just two years ago, who beat out candidates including the Prime Minister in order to face Vendorme in the runoff.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|
Malcom Cadiou (@malcomcadiou)

Also at stake tonight is control of the Assembly of Commons, the lower and slightly more powerful house of Laeral’s legislature. It’s elected via party-list proportional representation, and polls show it being more fragmented than ever before, with as many as 12 parties expected to gain representation. Critics say that the margin for entry, 0.75% of the nationwide vote, isn’t high enough. There’s also elections for provincial and local offices across Laeral.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|

So before we get into the thick of things, I’d just like to repost my article of a week ago, in which I explain the electoral arithmetic going on in tonight’s election. Worth a read, if you haven’t already. Basically, the Vendorme campaign can’t attract enough crossover support from other parties in order to win, so they’re hoping that the voters who went for left-wing parties in the first round will stay home or spoil their ballot rather than voting Liu.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|
Lilie Hollande (@liliehollande)
Just now from Les Couloirs Headquarters, Laeralsford, Laeral
I’m largely in agreement with you Malcom, but I’d like to add that I don’t think that strategy of driving down turnout for Liu is going to be effective. Perhaps if Liu were a dull candidate, or if she didn’t have the attributes of being a Rén woman. But Liu is exciting, and her campaign has a spectacular ground game. With her endorsement from leftist leaders such as Zoe Nilsson of the Yohannesian Greens, I think that Vendorme’s strategy just isn’t enough to win on it’s own. He has to attract crossover support, and he’s just too abrasive of a candidate to do so.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|
Lilie Hollande (@liliehollande)
Just now from Les Couloirs Headquarters, Laeralsford, Laeral
And while Vendorme is abrasive, Liu is less so. In her temperament and demeanor, she reminds people of the nice old lady who lives up the street, while Vendorme can, at his worst, come off as ferocious. I don’t think our first-round Misra and Nury voters are going to have a visceral, knee-jerk vote ‘no’ on Liu. I’m thinking that with the polls we’re seeing, Liu should be favored to win with more than 60-40 odds.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|

Malcom Cadiou (@malcomcadiou)
Just now from Les Couloirs Headquarters, Laeralsford, Laeral
I do admit that Liu isn’t abrasive in personality, but I’m also inclined to disagree with those that are predicting a Liu landslide. Sure, Liu has a lot of buzz around her, especially online and internationally, but historically those factors haven’t been as important to victory as one might think. And, while I hate to bring it up, there’s the Soong Effect to consider.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|
Lilie Hollande (@liliehollande)
Just now from Les Couloirs Headquarters, Laeralsford, Laeral
Please, Malcom, not the Soong Effect again! That phenomenon has been overstated to death, and there’s a shocking lack of evidence to support its effectiveness, especially in the modern day.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|
Malcom Cadiou (@malcomcadiou)
Just now from Les Couloirs Headquarters, Laeralsford, Laeral
For those of you not familiar, the Soong Effect is a political science theory that when an Arrivée candidate competes against a non-Arrivée candidate, polls are likely to show higher support for the non-Arrivée candidate than what actually materializes on election day. Named for Nicolas Soong, whom polls predicted would become the first Rén Governor of Laeralsford before losing unexpectedly on Election Day.
But I do admit I’m biased- I did my master’s thesis on whether the Soong Effect works when Arrivée and Desi candidates run against one another. I concluded that it does, or at least it did two decades ago.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|

And a brief explanation for our foreign guests about the ballot voters will see tonight:
Laeral uses paper ballots, which are given to each eligible voter at their local polling place. Ballots are available in French and Chinese, with interpreters available. Voters take a ballot and go to a curtained-off booth, where they use a pen to mark in the bubble next to the candidates they support. The ballots are then placed in a ballot box by a poll worker.
At the top of the ballot is the presidential race. Liu Mei-han will appear ahead of Damien Vendorme, in alphabetical order by family name. Damien Vendorme’s name will not appear in Chinese on the Chinese-language ballots, by his campaign’s decision. Instead, it will appear in the Latin alphabet. Liu Mei-han’s name appears as ‘Liu Mei-han’ on the French ballots and 刘 梅翰 on the Chinese ballots. Each candidate has their official party abbreviation behind their name.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|
Lilie Hollande (@liliehollande)
Just now from Les Couloirs Headquarters, Laeralsford, Laeral
For the Assembly of Commons, each candidate votes for a party ‘list’ of candidates. Each party nominates 386 candidates, one for each seat in the Assembly of Commons. If a party wins X number of seats in the Commons, candidates numbers 1 to X are seated. In other words, candidate #386 on the LPP list has virtually no chance of making it into the Commons. There are 14 parties running lists for the Commons. In order of their appearance on the ballot, those are:
Minjian Appeal
Laeralian Communist Party
Conservative Party
United Right
Women’s Alliance
Laeral Unbowed!
Secular Democratic Party
New Democratic Alliance
Laeralian People’s Party
Progressive Party
Radical Party of the Left
Republican Reform Party
Socialist Party
Green Party/Laeralian Ecology
Don’t expect for all of these parties to make the 0.75% threshold for representation. Also on each ballot are provincial elections for Governor (in some provinces) or the provincial legislature, as well as candidates for municipal (in municipalities) or township office.|⇧ UPVOTE| |⇩ DOWNVOTE| |REPLY|
