U.C.E.O.T.W. Times #4 (3rd November 2019 AD) - Election Special 1

Welcome to this special edition of the U.C.E.O.T.W. Times! We would like to start by apologizing for the lack of issues recently, the region has experienced a few crisis situations and so normality has been put on hold, but now we are back and better than ever with this fabulous election season!

In this issue we will be looking at the prelude to the first U.C.E.O.T.W. elections since the establishment of our official Constitution, prior to its writing we have had one set of such elections. Tomorrow, Monday the 4th of November, year of our Lord, 2019, we will have our Imperial Grand Councillor elections which will close on Thursday with the elections for our regional WA Delegate. The changes will come into affect on Saturday, with the swearing in if the new Triumvirate (the second of its kind) occurring on Sunday! It is shaping up to be an exciting election period indeed!

Meet the candidates:

- Falmards is the current I.G.C. and WA Delegate (Via the Holy Imperial Grand Duchy of Boylay donitratons) but also Imperial Councillor of Warfare and Defence. He is the leader of the regional Imperialist Party and is currently the favorite for I.G.C. according to our polling, but it is still anyone’s election! Whilst he has refused to make an exclusive comment for our newspaper he has made an official public campaign statement: “I will be running for both re-election and i will choose the best Triumvir Postea as possible if i win both” (credit to our on-site reporter, Blue carnation). In the same interview, Falmards made reference to some of his potential policies for his potential next term: “I think while things could have gone better they didnt go bad. We must stand up for ourselves and bow to nobody. If someone betrays there word we mustnt stand for it. They must face pur furry or we must at least expell them so they can do less harm. We must not allow second chances for major offenses” (Responding to being asked about the recent regional crisis).

-Blue carnation, our I.C. of International Diplomacy and also recently elected I.C. of Internal Affairs is the second candidate for I.G.C. and W.A. Delegate. Despite not being an official member of the Triumvirate at present, due to her position as I.C. of Diplomacy and Internal Affairs, she has been present at several important regional governance meetings. She is the leader of the Diplomatic-Conservative Party and is second for I.G.C. according to current polls, however as previously stated, it’s anyone’s title to take! She has shown that she doesn’t need to serve as I.G.C. or Delegate however will gladly do so if the people of region so desire, as shown in her exclusive comment to us: “I've chosen to continue to serve the people in my current position as I.C. While I may choose to pursue the IGC office down the road, I don't believe now is the right time.”.

-Xukong is the third member of the first Triumvirate serving as Triumvir Postea as appointed by Falmards. Aside from this he serves his region as Imperial Councillor of Economics. He is the leader and founder of the Phoenix Party and we can take from that and his position as I.C. of Finance that his policies, if elected, will very likely stand to help the workers and, of course, the regional economy. He will be running for both I.G.C. and W.A. Delegate and according to our polling, he is a likely first for the Delegacy,
however polls may not reflect the actual outcome, we will have to wait and see!

-New jewlan is the I.C. of religion and the recently appointed I.C. of History and is a member of the Democratic-Conservative Party. He is the fourth candidate running for I.G.C. and W.A. Delegate. He was our region’s first W.A. Delegate and is likely looking to re-claim that title! He has yet to make any form of campaign promise and/or statement , we will keep you all informed as to if and when he does!

-Dominant Oppressors, our regional Imperator and founder is running for W.A. Delegate as well. He has released an exclusive statement to us that sums up his campaign very well: “As Imperator, I am already guaranteed a spot in the Triumvirate and I have already had my time with the delegacy, whilst I will be on the ballad, I encourage you to vote for another candidate this election, thank you!”

Comments and Opinions:

-Strachantopia will not be contesting either of our elections this term as he is not a WA member and not an Imperial Councillor, however word on the street is he may have an appointment to Assistant-I.C. of Religion in the near future and would therefore be able to contest the next I.G.C. election, regardless, he has made this statement regarding the elections: “I think Falmards will win the IGC by a nose, due perhaps to his stronger support among the poor shepherds of New Strachantopolis, who have been campaigning furiously for him with the slogan: Falmards for Farm Lads!!!!
Blue Carnation will come in a close second, but as her supporters are so rational there will be very few chants of "Not my IGC!" wafting upon the breeze.
The battle for WA delegate will be fierce, with Xukong eking out a victory due to his superior international connections and stylish hair, which even their most hardened enemies will admit cause a stir of admiration during international proceedings.
All in all, the elections will be models of UCEW efficiency and decency, and rousing huzzahs will float from end to end of the great region to reward the successful public servants.”

Christian confederation, a close and long-time ally of our region, president of The Moderate Alliance has kindly given this statement on the electoral situation: “I don't know all the candidates but the people of the region have been good to me so I assume they are also good people.”

New dilli, the Home Affairs Minister of Bharat, a sponsor of this newspaper and an over-all ally of our region, has this to say about the matter: "If you take my opinion, I think falmands will win this elections as he got that potential.
He is not that good with campaigns but I think he will be a good WAD.
Wish him best of luck.".

DACOROMANIA is the founder and Basileus of the Roman Byzantine Union and is also a very close and long-standing ally of our region and he has kindly provided his thoughts as well: “I appreciate the courage and ambition with which you managed to get to where you set yourself. I know it was not easy, because these are the fruits of effort and burning desire. You have accomplished so much, you have come so far and, after all, you have accumulated many qualities and you have passion in everything you do. Keep going on quality and devotion for your region under the guidance of your Founder Imperator Dominant Oppressors. In my opinion Falmards could win most votes, again. And for you the best wishes from me.”

Now a word from our sponsors:
