Morovians Decide Community's Future
NATIONAL - Morovians took to the polls this weekend to select members of the Royal Assembly, the first time the country's unicameral legislature will convene since it was dissolved in May 2005. After a spirited campaign, eight candidates from the Conservative Party, Progressive-Reform Party, and the recently formed Democratic Centre are competing for three open seats."This has been a stunning turnaround," noted one election analyst. "One month ago, Morovia was a quiet backwater under the regency of the King of Hanover. Today, the streets are crowded with canvassers from not two, but three, political parties, a development that has caught the attention of the micronational world."
Unconfirmed reports indicate a high voter turnout, and there is no doubt that in the aftermath of the election legislators will have a full plate of issues to choose from as they seek to put Morovia back on track. The docket includes decisions on funding priorities in response to recent hospital closures, a review of the role of the Armed Services, a revitalization of Victoria University, the proposed decriminalization of prostitution, and several constitutional and election reforms.
Ongoing balloting concludes Sunday at 11:59PM EST. The results will be announced in the Salon the following day.
