Sabotage Delays Election Results
The Mel-akkam Electoral Directorate has announced that the results of the Autumnal Equinox election, already delayed by two days, will be held up for another day at least, as several incidents of sabotage resulted in the destruction of nearly a thousand ballots. An investigation is ongoing into the acts of sabotage, which the Directorate described as an “attention-seeking stunt”.

Progressives, LibDems Hold Talks
An unexpected alliance of the centre-left Joint Progressive Party List and the centre-right Liberal Democratic Party appears to be in the works, with party leaders meeting to discuss a possible coalition, assuming the accuracy of polls predicting that the two would together approach a majority. “Talks have been productive, and we are optimistic about future cooperation,” said Vyaparam Vedan, the LDP’s leader. The two parties have joined up once in the past, to form a caretaker government last year.
Free market, free country, free people
Socialism isn’t the only way! As Mel-akkam’s first opposition party, the Liberal Democrats have delivered free market governance with the goal of building a prosperous nation of free, independent people. As they say, a rising tide floats all boats – and we will rise the tide more than anyone.
Our Promises:
Increasing our GDP by 50% in 5 years
The privatisation of the economy, providing ample funding for social programmes and investments
Less crime through more police and slum clearance

Mel-akkam Refuses SCO Membership
Mel-akkam’s Diplomatic Commission, in a post-election “lame duck” act, rejected a Chinese offer of membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. Diplomatic Commission President Puratana Civari’peru justified the decision, stating that “Mel-akkam values its democratic traditions, and does not intend to associate with a group contradictory to these principles.”
For peace and progress!
The Mel-akkan Progressive Party has always fought for freedom, social justice, and inclusion. Like we freed our nation from the British, so too will we free all citizens from poverty, discrimination, and inequality. A vote for us is a vote for freedom, socialism, and most importantly, progress.
Our Promises:
Low inequality, and a 90% income tax on the ultra-wealthy
The nationalisation of all industries, spreading the nation’s wealth among the people
Equal rights for all Mel-akkans, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation
