Erwin von Scweppenburg of the P.P.P. Announces His Run For Chancellorship

​

At a campaign rally for the PPP

Erwin von Scweppenburg steps up to the podium, surrounded by banners of the PPP and patriotic imagery. He gazes over the crowd of tens of thousands gathered at this rally.

These 10 years have been one of Patria’s most successful times. With the defeat of the Red Prophets at the hands of the Navy that the PPP spearheaded funding for, the vast resources of the Galaxy are ours for the taking. With copious amounts of resources coming in from all directions as a result of the expansion bills shepherded through parliament by the PPP, Patrian resources are bountiful. As a result of this, the PPP has supported numerous bills to increase the living standards of all Patrians, from healthcare to food stamps. We must never, however, let our guard down because of these policies. The only thing standing between your loved ones, your prosperity, your livelihood and oblivion is the Patrian Navy, in which I proudly Captain the P.R.S.S. Cirros. After all, the Red Prophets are STILL at large. Who knows when, and with what, they shall return with. We must also face the possibility of hostile alien life, as the only confirmed Extraterrestrial life we have found is the Cybrex, Alien killing machines who launched a crusade throughout the Galaxy to destroy all organic life, resulting in the death of quadrillions. If these ancient killing machines are any representation of what we will find out there in the great beyond, we must be ready.

Erwin's face grows hard

Threats from space are not all we have to worry about, however much it pains me to say. The radical SPP with their socialist dogma and collectivist preachings will bring ruin to us all if they take this next election! If more proof is needed, they have founded their own paramilitary force, the Red Guard! They claim it is to protect democracy, but we know the truth! It is a contingency plan by these Radicals in case their plan to bring down democracy from the inside fails, they will bring it down by force! Why else would you arm supporters of your ‘peaceful’ political party! This dagger aimed right at the heart of Patria cannot be allowed to exist right under our noses!

That is why I, Erwin von Schweppenburg, Captain of the P.R.S.S. Cirros, am running for Chancellor of the Patrian Republic, to Protect Patria. To Preserve its traditions, and to Persevere in the face of overwhelming odds! Today marks the day Patria will become even stronger than ever, and it all starts with you.

Erwin points to the camera

Will you join the cause of Patrian greatness? Are you a true Patriot? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then I think you know who to vote for.

Erwin then invites Jason Balthazar Pulsifer to the stage to amidst a roar of cheers.

After Erwin left the Podium Jason Balthazar Pulsifer steps up

I don´t think we have to go over everything again. What my colleague just stated is correct.

The last ten years have been busy, we have truly reached a lot, however there is more work waiting to be done! We need to stay ahead of things and we need your help to do so!

We do not know what is out there in the void, we have already encountered Aliens, these however were technologically inferior to us, but I ask you: What happens if they are equal to us or even superior in military or technological prowess?

Can we expect them to adhere to our values? Can we expect them to even comprehend them? We need to stay vigilant!

We need to guarantee our safety, not out of any sense of paranoia, but out of a necessity for our very survival!

Do you really want to play the odds when it comes to your families’ life?

I for one do not want to think what could happen to my adopted daughter!

So I urge you vote for safety, vote for our survival, vote P.P.P. and vote for me as your Vice Chancellor!

The crowd cheers as both candidates leave the stage, while the Patrian anthem plays

Dr. Claire Wright Announces Her Run For Chancellorship



​

Claire Wright poses an address

It’s another election season. Hard to believe that it was ten years ago that we last voted as a nation, and that it has been ten years since I became leader of the Resurgence League.

Dr. Gra’s leaving was difficult for all of us here at the Resurgence League, but it has not brought us down. We are more powerful than ever, and our votes are counting for more and more in parliament.

We remain outspoken and continue to hold true to our beliefs as a party. I strive to work together and cooperate with other party leaders without compromising our values.

I am disappointed with the outcome of several of the bills that have passed in the past decade. In the future, I will continue to reach for a better future for all of Patria.

As we discover more and more about our universe, I will push for peace with all other species, as well as friendliness and mutual learning. Only through respect and trust can we all work together to better the quality of life for all sentient beings and developed civilizations.

Therefore, I would request that you vote both for the Resurgence League and for me, Dr. Claire Wright, as chancellor in this coming election. I understand that many of you will automatically assume that Zane Griffin will win, and perhaps he will. However, by voting for the Resurgence League, you can show the rest of the republic, as well as the senators, where your values stand.

Show them that you care about peace and that you will not stand by while needless wars are waged.

We are not barbarians who need to solve each problem through our fists. We don’t need to resort to that. Join us in our quest for peace and harmony. Only through working together may these be achieved.

The Resurgence League has held true to our values thus far, and we will continue to do so in the future.

At your service,

Dr. Claire Wright.

Nathan Ferring Of F.I.P. Announces His Run For Chancellorship

​

Nathan Ferring appears on stage before a crowd of a few hundred

Ladies and Gentlemen, Patrians all, I come before you today in the name of betterment of all Patria, from our homeworld to the most distant colonies. The F.I.P. is a relatively new party in the Patrian political system, and it's core ideals stand not just for improvement, but unity. The other parties have desperately battled in seek of parliamentary control and even domination, only wishing to see their party and themselves on top. In their quest they often leave the priorities and needs of the people as a second-class task. Some go as far to slander others to boost themselves, and that is not what the Patrian people should stand for. The nobility of old was so destructive, not because of the nobility themselves, but because their government stood as a one-party system, allowing it to be easily corrupted and manipulated, with no opposition. One of the most vital flaws of humanity is that even the best of us make mistakes, and an unchecked party only vying for their greatness may make crucial mishaps, leading to the harm of our fellow citizens.

While the F.I.P. may not have proposed any bills, we have made amendments to several to better suit them to you, the people of our glorious Republic, and have voted for bills that strengthen the people and denied bills that didn't. One of our most important strengths, however? Strength in numbers, power in unity. A vote for me and the F.I.P. does not just end there. Every opinion has value, every insight like the finest of gold. Every party, every man and every woman have their flaws, but together we stand strongest. Patria has prospered not under the UPF, not under the PPP, not under the USD nor any other party including the F.I.P., we have moved forward because of free trade, because of competition in the markets and differing ideologies. The other parties can only see improvement in Patria if they are on top. They speak of "Is" and "my party's", yet the only way we can truly move forward is with all of us, with a "we". I wish everyone here today a great week, and a hopeful future, Nathan Ferring, F.I.P.

Chancellor Zane Griffin Announces His Intention To Run For Chancellor And Announces His Support For Tom Delarosa For Vice Chancellor



Zane Griffin walks onto the stage as thousands of citizens cheer in support

"Ladies and Gentlemen as you may have heard I will be running for Chancellor for yet another term to ensure continued prosperity and progress within our great Republic. I know that this election there are several candidates running for the Chancellorship and I wish them all the best of luck. I truly hope that the citizens of our Republic will choose the candidate who they feel will ensure economic prosperity and widespread security for the entirety of our Republic." "I am proud to also announce not only my support but the United Patrian Front's support for Tom Delarosa as Vice Chancellor of the Patrian Republic. Tom as you all know is the current leader of the Towards Outerspace Movement and has made great strides in progress for our great Republic as such we believe that he is the best possible candidate for Vice Chancellor in the Election of 2230."

Tom Delarosa Of T.O.M. Announces His Run For Vice Chancellor

​

Tom Delarosa leaves the T.O.M. HQ and stands in front of a big crowd of T.O.M. supporters for the fourth time, but this time it was a bit more special and personal than the previous elections. When the applause and noise died down, Tom began his speech.

"Dear T.O.M. supporters, I am glad to be able to stand here before you again after the Progressive Coalition came into bad weather due to the events of the 2210 elections. But with renewed energy, the Progressive Coalition and with it our party has restarted its work and is more than ever going to push for colonisation and expansion into outer space, focus on research and protecting the weak and vulnerable of Patria. To further cement our endaveours, I am glad to announce that together with the UPF, the Progressive Coalition wants to put forward Zane Griffin for Chancellor and me, Tom Delarosa, for the position of Vice-Chancellor.

With our slogan for the 2230 elections, "Expansion begins at home", the T.O.M. wants to focus its efforts towards developing and expanding the many colonies Patria now has and establishing full-fledged cities and worlds in outer space. We have to carefully look at how each planet will take shape in the coming decades, as we don't want one planet to be too invested in one branch as this would create dependencies on these planets and branches and fluctuations in the economy might crash a whole industry and colony's economy. We must be careful, but therefore not less ambitious.

Announcing my candidacy for Vice-Chancellor is a big cornerstone in our strategy, but we must not forget that the T.O.M., along with its fellow member parties of the Progressive Coalition, has also focussed on other matters at home.

Science has progressed like it never has before at a fast pace thanks to the many accomplishments of our scientists and the PSL. We also improved the life of many Patrians, thanks to our work along with the USD as well as some of our own acts such as the Food Stamp Act, which allows for people to save money which they can use to migrate to one of our many colonies allowing our colonies to flourish and prosper. I hope that all of this brings faith to the many Patrians who will vote in the coming elections and that they will put trust in me as Vice-Chancellor alongside Griffin who has shown himself to be an excellent Chancellor. Together we are united and in unity we will prosper. For the future!"

When he finished his speech the crowd went wild and cheered, chanting sentences like "Delarosa for Vice-Chancellor" and "In Delarosa we trust". He left the stage and walked alongside the crowd, shaking hands, responding to questions, taking photos, the usual stuff after every speech.

Siberia Castiel of T.O.M. Makes an election speech

​

Siberia Castiel enters the press conference room at the Progressive Coalition’s HQ and begins her speech.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to stand here as a member of the Progressive Coalition. The work we have done here over the past thirty years is amazing. Since I became acting-Chairman in 2205, I have worked for the people by increasing the efficiency and cohesiveness of our Coalition. My fellow Progressives and I have worked to propose important pieces of legislation, ranging from the Food Stamp Act to the Social Care Act. As of yet, 20 of our 21 Progressive Coalition sponsored or written bills have passed. Among these bills were not only things that benefitted our economy and our expansion, but also the advancement of our people and a tremendous increase in living standards and wellbeing. Once again, I stand here with a hopeful message. This Coalition will continue to do its work for the people. Unlike other parties, who only watch by in parliament but do not take initiative themselves to write bills and improve the lives of you, the citizens, the Progressive Coalition and its members have proven themselves to be competent legislators who have the interests of the people in mind.

Over the past 25 years, in my position as either acting-Chairman or elected Chairman of this Coalition, I have seen people grow towards each other. True friendships were born from the seeds of this cooperation. Even though at some point it seemed like we went into hibernation, rest assured that the Progressive Coalition has always been a coherent front to improve the future of the Republic and its citizens. However, it is with both sadness and pride that I must say that my time as Chairman is over. It is time to pass the torch on and let someone else lead the Progressive Coalition in parliament.

I’m certain that whoever wins the Chairman-elections, will work towards our common goals and will always keep the interests of the people in mind. With happiness in my heart, I can also say that our very own Tom Delarosa will be running for Vice-Chancellor with support of the UPF and the Progressive Coalition. I call upon the people to see the work that we’ve done and vote on Tom for Vice-Chancellor and Zane Griffin of the UPF for Chancellor. Together, we will work for an even better future.

For those who are concerned about my future, do not worry. My husband and I have decided that it is time for us to start a new chapter in our lives. Together with our son, we will move to the new colony of Makara. We have chosen that planet because it has a very special place in our heart. Makara, or Endirlang B III, is currently being colonized because the Towards Outerspace Movement saw its potential. I, myself, think it will be a good challenge for my architectural skills to work on an ocean planet. I will still continue my work for the people by writing bills for the Towards Outerspace Movement and the Progressive Coalition. So anyone who hoped to see me finally gone, unfortunately I’m not done yet.

With a smile on her face and a tear going down her cheek, Siberia Castiel opens the door for questions.

Oliver Longwood of the U.S.D. Makes An Election Speech

Longwood speaks. "Hello my friends, once again we reach other election. The past 10 years has been productive years in improving the lifes of the working people. Social welfare has been improved, healthcare is now for everyone. Parents are no longer stressed over child care. And education is available to all! We will continue this process of improving the standards. However I would also like to endorse the following people for positions of office.



Tom for the Vice Chancellorship position! And Zane for the position of Chancellor. I know some may be wondering why is the USD not running for a position this year and feel sad and disappointed. Well this due to the fact I want the best for our Republic and the continue strength. If anyone wish to address their concerns or questions please contact us at the USD officer by writing or email or even social media. I know we are heading into uncertain times. And it's scary. I know that feeling where you feel like you may loose everything you learned and have in you're life. So fear not the USD will always have you back. No matter the planet no matter the place! Thank you everyone!"

David Kaiwi Of the U.S.D. Makes An Election Speech

​

(David Kaiwi reads a speech on television, although only 56 he looks older, his hair now almost completely grey)

Elections have come upon us again, which means another 10 years have passed, it feels only yesterday, that I first stepped foot in Parliament. I was 21 then, I am 56 now.

The past 10 years have been another 10 years of great productivity, the economy continues to grow, and the Union of Social Democrats continues to push for the people.

When I was 26, I stood in Paonui’s grand square and told the people that I would fight for the cleanup of the OQZ and issued a direct challenge tothe establishment. I was part of the youth, ready to seize the moment and show the youth had a say in government.

When I was 36, I somberly told the world that I had to leave and rest, think deeply about my next actions.

On that 3 year long sabbatical I realized that, my mistakes were due to my recklessness, I was too shortsighted.

I also came to another realization, the longer the left stays disunited, the longer the people lose their voice, lose their connection to the government.

Which is why I resolved to unite left, into one large party that will fight for the Republic and for each and everyone of you.

The Progressive coalition is the first step to that dream, the Patrian Scientific League and the Towards OuterSpace Movement have more in common with the Union of Social

Democrats than different. We all want the same goals, to be able to see a Patrian Republic that works for everyone, that fights for everyone, that listens to everyone.

The Past 10 years have showed that coalition has not become weaker, but stronger and the Union of Social Democrats have grown stronger with it.

The USD has proven now, beyond a reasonable doubt, that we will fight for the people, and even when the odds are stacked against us.

On the ballot, you will be given many option for both the positions of Chancellor and Vice Chancellor.

For the Position of Vice Chancellor, Tom Delarosa of the Towards Outerspace Movement is a loyal leader of the Progressive Coalition, anactive member of the Left and a leading figure in the fight for the people.

He is in my opinion to most qualified man to become Vice Chancellor, and I am confident that he will continue to work with the Union of Social Democrats and the Patrian Scientific League for a better future and a united future.

The Union of Social Democrats will continue to fight for a Republic of Equals, so in the 2230 elections, Vote Union of Social Democrats for Parliament, Vote for the Party that fights for you!

Sir Karl Leon Makes An Election Speech

​

Citizens of what we used to call this great republic. Our republic is corrupt, a dying tree being smothered by ivy. Sure the republic stands tall but the foundations are shaking and when the ivy finally suffocates it both the corrupt and uncorrupt will fall down destroying what has been a golden age. A golden age not made by the politicians but by the people by the hard-working people from every country, colony and political background. And yet the republic is weak. Political infighting is constant, backroom deals are crippling debates. During one such vote, everyone had voted before I had even stood up to present myself as the first governor of citizens port. Tell me is this right, is this what our republic is shady backroom deals not out in the open in parliament. I make a promise that no other party will make I promise that no backroom deals for parliament votes will take place! YOU THE PEOPLE need to hear our politicians in the sunlight and hear what they truly say.

As you know the Patrian Cultural Party has left parliament in protest and recently I was dragged out of it by armed security. I was never asked by the chancellor to remove myself instead they used the iron hand of oppression to drag me out much like the Revolutionary guard did during the Venland Riots. This is our republic, not there's.

The United Patrian Front should not be trusted the first chance they get is to backstab their allies, as the Patrian Cultural Party has found out on more than one occasion. The United Patrian Front will betray you. You the voter! They do everything for political gain and what's best for the republic. What's best for the republic is not always best for the PEOPLE!

.

The progressive coalition are cowards never willing to stand up for what they believe in always following what way the vote goes. Never having enemies. A man without enemies is a man who does not recognise them. Do you want them in major power? Not only that but they are liers to the highest degree they were the party along with the United Patrian Front that made sure all nobles are forced to disinherit their titles! Why you may ask? They offer privilege they say. What privilege I ask them and not one can tell me without making up lies. Lies made up by Maria Giordano who used republican troops against THE PEOPLE!

This is our great republic getting choked at the trunk making laws to get back at politicians and not for the benefit for the people. Unless change and reform happen within the republic, I see it collapsing in the next 200 years. I Sir Karl George De’Leon will fight for the people and for the republic. It is time for a symbol for the people. If the chancellor is the symbol of the Republic the then Monarch will be the symbol of the PEOPLE!

I call on you the people NEVER AGAIN WILL THE PEOPLE BE RULED BY TYRANTS! The republic will head that way to a deliberate and harrowing death by politicians. The time is now, vote for the Patrian Cultural Party and reclaim your birthright!

Erwin Von Schweppenburg Makes An Election Speech

​

Erwin von Schweppenburg comes to the lectern, back straight and wearing his Captains uniform.

Greetings fellow citizens. This years chance to select the chancellor and Vice Chancellor cannot be more clear cut. Zane Griffin the incumbent of 30 years, has ridden the back of Patrian prosperity to re election twice. He claims that prosperity is the result of the governance and domination of the UPF. He is wrong. It is the runner ups in parliament, the USD and the PPP that have done the work. We passed the Social Care act. The PPP passed the various military expansion and maintenance acts through the deception and lies of the UPF in stealing our bills, only stopping when confronted. The UPF sways like trees in the wind of politics, bending wherever public opinion lies just to get votes. Do I blame Chancellor Griffin for this? No. The UPF is the largest party and surely has bad influences inside it. And while I like and respect Chancellor Griffin, there is one disastrous thing that he has turned a blind eye to. The Red Guard.

These Paramilitary terrorists, the political thugs of the SPP have spread all across Patria, recruiting from desperate people with nothing to lose, just biding their time to strike. Strike at what you may ask? Democracy. They seek the destruction of all things good and holy in Patria’s glorious Republic. When their radical agenda of communist collectivism inevitably fails to win votes, they will use this private army to destroy Patria’s democracy for good. This existential threat to the Republic must be snuffed out! And Chancellor Griffin has done nothing! If I am elected, and the PPP receives an electoral mandate, the Red Guard will be disbanded IMMEDIATELY! There can be no question about their intentions, and the Chancellor has let them exist right under his nose! This cannot be allowed. Thus, if you value your democracy, if you value freedom, vote PPP for protection for all Patrians!

The screen fades to the PPP logo as the national anthem plays.

Anna Kobayashi of the Z.I. Makes An Election Speech

​

Anna Kobayashi, normally quiet due to her hatred of political arguments, decides to speak up after the remarks of the likes of the PCP and PPP.

"First, I would like to give my warm regards to the USD, UPF, and TOM for their excellent speeches and furthering of Patria through cooperation; even among political rivals it's important to find similiarties and work for a stronger land.

Secondly, a friendly warning to the likes of PPP, PCP, and others who claim themselves to be somehow the primary reason our people are pushed forward, who claim to be monarchs who can rule others immune to the corruption which consumes all rulers, and those who think they know whats best for you or I; as if our will is something to be bought and sold to the loudest speaker.

Temper yourselves, I warn, lest the people of Patria smash their hammer hard against your ego and use you only as scrap metal to create the ships which will be piloted by those willing to work with a crew of many.

If it's not clear, I endorse with no hesitation Zane Griffin for the positions of Chancellor. He is our captain and we are his crew and he has lead us faithfully for many years and clearly will for many more. I trust him and, should the day come that he no longer deserves that trust, then perhaps I shall join along with this mutiny. Otherwise, since the ships in good order (no matter who predicts some nonsensical 200 year expiration date) I see no reason to scrap it.

That is all."

Armin Geranium of the P.P.P. Makes An Election Speech ​

Armin stands behind a lectern behind him is a big flag of Patria. On the lectern is the blazon of Citizen Port. He shuffles his papers and takes a breath:

"As the election day is growing near I wanted to express myself to this occurrence. Just as last year I will candidate as a senator from party P.P.P.. I still think that our old values a very important and that's why some politicians claim that we want to bring a monarchy back. They question our very loyalty to the democracy ... our loyalty to the Republic. This Senators like Anna Koyabashi who claim that they are high and mighty but secretly try to bring democratic parties like the P.P.P. into the realm of a traitors to the Republic. We did our best to make the lives of all Patrians better. We made and supported many bills which work to higher the living conditions of all Patrians. Senators like Anna Koyabashi who claim others had no positive impact on the life in our wonderful Republic and being corrupt while she herself has nothing to show for herself that she made an impact. I for myself was born poor and i worked hard to get my position. I despise the corrupt because they sold their self. I apologize for my religious wording, but I work to the verse "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them". Maybe my dear Senator Koyabashi you should be opener and also try to expose them and not only mention them it makes you seem like you think you are high and mighty and above everyone else like some monarch."

He clears his throat and continues:

"While that is that, there are some appointed in a similar position as I am. For example the governor of Elysium, Jason A. Eden, I do not understand why he presses on forcefully building agriculture and by doing that causing employment issues. The unhappiness of the people, who are unemployed, should already be a sign that he failed as a governor in his promises. As a junior governor to you, I hoped you could have become a role model. Someone who could bring happiness and prosperity to Elysium."

After a short break he resumes:

"Next period of office I will protect the family names for "nobels". Just the familie names so that they can hold on their roots, because I think it's cruel to take away someone's family name. It's a part of who you are ... a part of your history. I Will also work to improve our social system and education system. And of course I will work hard for the people of Citizen Port."

Loud applause from the audience while Armin leaves the stage after he makes his standard bow.
