Election season kicks off with RUMP manifesto

Wittenberg was today thrown into election-mode with the announcement by M:sr Vitxalmour Conductour, campaign manager for the RUMP, of that party's platform for the 44th Cosa.

In the document, the party has revealed its new name: Royalists United for the Monarch and People. Throughout the platform, the party seems keen to demonstrate its monarchist nature, perhaps aiming to combat a new challenger, Miestrâ Schivâ's democratic reformist Zefençadéirs del Republicanismeu Talossán.

In a relatively lengthy description of the party's stance on a broad range of topics, several clear points have emerged.

• The RUMP is most definitely a monarchist party
• Lord Hooligan will be the party's nominee for Seneschál, with Çesli da Chilseu as Distáin
• Reform immigration law so that immigrants can choose from among available provinces upon immigration to the Regipäts
• Work towards a new web presence for Talossa
• A "serious effort" to contact läpsilor (Talossans who have fallen away from the fold), in the wake of the Reunision

All-in-all, the party has released a solidly conservative platform, dedicating itself to "maintaining the current state of affairs", providing the "least government" possible, and retaining the current policy towards micronations.

The ZRT and MRPT have already released early platforms. Campaigning is also expected from the CSPP and the APT.
