Early voting for the 1953 presidential election is in full swing, causing Sordland’s two primary political youth organizations to clash as the election is gearing up.
The Red Youth, Sordland’s socialist youth organization is pushing for a reformist president. It was founded in 1923 by revolutionaries who were inspired by the communist revolution in United Contana. The group has alleged connections to a number of insurgent attacks against the Sordish government, as they aim to spread their malenyevist ideas into our republic.
After a fight broke out between the two groups outside the Maroon Palace, a Red Youth member had this to say: “We have not yet recovered from the damage caused by President Soll’s time in office. We need a president who can instill change in Sordland, and push our nation towards a brighter future! Vote!”
Opposing them is the Young Sords, the Sordish right-wing nationalist youth organization. The party has close ties to the National Front Party, and is considered by some to be their militant wing. “The Red Youth and malenyevism are a plague on Sordland. We cannot be silenced and demand a president who can bring order to our broken nation.” A spokesperson for the Young Sords said.
The group rose to prominence during the late Sordish Civil War, when its members engaged in urban guerrilla warfare with left-wing activists and the Red Youth. The Young Sords are considered to be responsible for most of the violence and killings in this period. These days, the members reject its violent past and claim it to only be a cultural and education foundation.
There’s also rumors that the Presidential candidate Anton Rayne was a member of one of these youth organizations during his time at university, though we have yet to confirm if this is true.
There’s still plenty of time to cast your vote for the candidates in the 1953 election. The USP are once again the front runners, with Rayne leading by 16.5 points in the national polls. It’s predicted that the Workers Party of Bludia and the Communist Party of Sordland will not earn enough votes to cross the 10% threshold into the National Assembly.
- Anton Rayne - United Sordland Party
- Frens Ricter - People’s Freedom and Justice Party
- Kesaro Kibener - National Front Party
- Fetih Ejall - Workers Party of Bludia
- Denis Stahler - Communist Party of Sordland
