2024 Arvenian General Election (Endorsement/Polls/Open)

Postby Arvenia » Thu Mar 21, 2024 9:19 am

Debate Thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=551050

It has been four years since a coalition government was sworn in. Headed by the Arvenian Reform Party (ARP), this government fought to bring about social, economic and political change in Arvenia. However, problems emerged and the government currently stands shaky as a new election is about to take place in the country. George Santoro (ARP), the current Prime Minister of Arvenia, has struggled to both keep his government united and implement some important policies.

The coalition government saw numerous challenges that ranged from protests over social and economic policies to armed conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. The government is currently on the brink of collapsing due to numerous infightings and disagreements within it. Meanwhile, opposition parties have gathered up strength to challenge the ruling coalition and take control of the Arvenian government.

On the other hand, independent candidates are continuing to make their voices heard in the election. While Shaun Wellington is planning to run for Prime Minister again, two new independent candidates have stepped forward. One of them is Caroline Pritchart, a former member of the Arvenian People's Democratic Movement (APDM) who served as the Governor of the Zuko Province (which once included Murray Island) from 2012 to 2020. She will be running on a platform influenced by social democracy and left-wing populism. She has since received endorsement from the Insular People's Party (IPP) due to her roots in Murray Island, which is now an autonomous province ruled by the IPP. She is also likely to receive endorsements from other parties such as the Elderly People's Party and the Small Business Party. The other independent candidate is a controversial figure named General Harold Turner. A former officer in the Arvenian Army, he has been described as the "Arvenian Trump" and will be running on a platform that is highly influenced by Trumpism. Meanwhile, John Funtos, a gay journalist-turned-politician, has been chosen as the new PM candidate for the Socialist Unity Party (SUP).

It will be exciting to see how this election plays out. It is due to end in either September, October or November.

The Social Democratic Party has endorsed the Arvenian People's Democratic Movement, with party leader and Chairman of Anatoliyanskiy Anatoli Piesiyackiya stating on social media platform X, "the APDM shares our values for a democratic, free, and equal society where workers have a fair say and big business is kept in check. We also share fraternal ties in the Socialist International and we always hope that our SI partners are successful when possible."

The Green Party has endorsed the Arvenian Green Party, with the party executive stating on X that "We are glad to see that our fellow members of the Global Greens have been included in this government's coalition and we hope that they will continue to be a successful and independent voice for environmental protection and social justice."

The Progressive Conservative Party has endorsed the Civic National Party, with party leader Nelson Creston stating that "the CNP has been an advocate for responsible fiscal spending, social progress, and government accountability that have clearly benefited the Arvenian government. Furthermore, as fellow member of the IDU, we will continue to support our fellow common sense conservatives throughout the world."

The Liberal Democratic Party has endorsed the Arvenian Reform Party. Party leader Rory Carlson stated that "The ARP has led a government that has been a hallmark of liberal values, social equality and progress, and key advancements in economic reform. We hope that Mr Santoro can be re-elected so that he and his government may continue the progress that they have brought Arvenia for the last 4 years."

The Democrats and the People's Party have both endorsed the Arvenian Value Front. Democrat leader Paul Korgesky stated on social media "the AVF is the only party in Arvenia fighting for economic freedom, an end to federal government tyranny and for traditional values." Alexei Orselsky released a similar statement, calling on Arvenians to vote for a party that opposed the "woke left and rampant progressivism that is destroying our society" and that Arvenia should "join the new right wave that is renewing our world and sending shockwaves across the political spectrum" in reference to recent victories of far-right parties in many European countries.

The Worker's Party has endorsed the People's Revolutionary Party, with the central committee stating that "the PRP will usher in a new era in Arvenia and continue the global anti-capitalist push for a socialist democracy, economic equality, worker controlled workplaces, and social justice".

The Libertarian League has endorsed the Arvenian Libertarian Party, with George Jonson stating that "The ALP will defend freedom-loving Arvenians from big government and irresponsible spending along with protecting their civil liberties from encroachment by the feds. We need more IALP members in government fighting for freedom."

Several smaller parties that only have representation in municipal governments have also endorsed parties in the Arvenian general election. The Marxist-Leninist Communist Worker's Party endorsed the Arvenian Communist Party, with the party's central politburo stating that "the ACP will bring Arvenia closer to the anti-western Russia led bloc and will offer a definitive vanguard choice to all Arvenian workers who want to free themselves from the Bourgeoisie". The Family Party endorsed the Arvenian Christian Democratic Party, with party leader Anna Jeadvra stating that "the ACDP offers Arvenians the choice of preserving traditions and accomplishing economic equality" which has drawn criticism from various Anatoliyanskiyan politicians due to the ACDP's far-right stances on many social issues.

All foreign members of these parties who reside in Arvenia, overall a small number, have been instructed to vote for the endorsed parties.
Pro: Environmentalism, Eco-Socialism, Democratic Socialism, Left-libertarianism, Luxemburgism, Progressivism, Choice, LGTBQ+ rights, Bernie Sanders, Secularism, Democratic and Secular Two-State Solution, Alter-Globalization.
Anti: Conservatism, "TERF" movement, Fascism, Stalinism, Totalitarianism, Laissez-faire capitalism, Anarcho-Capitalism, Trump, Religious Fundamentalism, Ultranationalism, Identity Politics, Islam
Anatoliyanskiy is basically if Canada, Australia and Russia had a baby.
Luxemburg and Bookchin did nothing wrong.
