Edge of Story

Recently, new elections have been announced, this is, of course, because public opinion has turned against those currently in power. This seems logical. Vision is structured to be a country based on the will of the people. If they revoke their support, the government must fall. Yet, things are not at all as cut and dry as all of that. Just under a month ago we were all discussing the freedom of the press and speech. We learned that one of the drawbacks of our newly granted freedoms is the influence of the rich on our news. As has been demonstrated, newspapers have been growing, not only in popularity but also in power. If you can control the newspapers, you can essentially control the course of Vision. We cannot let this happen to us, to our people. Vision must stay true.

Due to the recent shift in public opinion, we have sped up the pace of our elections. Our first, as you put it, “real” elections will take place a week from today. There will be two delegates from each province, as well as seven from the capital. We hope that this will mollify you and that it will curb your wrath. We are only passionate revolutionaries, we were not meant to be leaders. We do not exactly know what it was that we did to deserve our being condemned in this way. We had hoped that we had proved yourself earlier.

Elections still have not yet arrived, at least, not real elections. The elections that have taken place just two days ago are nothing but reporter elections. Bow, many of you wonder at the meaning of the term ‘recruiter election.’ This being our first election here in Vision, it must be good. Instead, this recruiter election is a sign that Vision is once again falling.
