Kusari Parliamentary Elections (April 827A.S.) - Voting

[WesternPeregrine]

It felt like ages since Shimoe Mizuki last accessed the government citizen terminals, for the purpose of the elections. It's been a few years since the last one, as expected, but the political landscape of Kusari had changed a lot since the last ones.

She had reviewed some party policies in the campaign, and watched with mild interest some of the organized debates and sponsored pieces about the contemporary issues in economics and society, but she was sure that in the end, what really matter was to use the rights given to the citizen to make their voice heard, and avoid leading Kusari into yet another period of dictatorship or dominant control by a small group.

After presenting her credentials to the terminal, she glanced at the list of candidates for her district, and selected the list of the Social Democratic Party of Kusari to hopefully carry her voice and of many others to the governance of the House of Kusari.

Elsewhere, in the Shikoku system, on Planet Junyo Hosokawa ward Civic Hall, a sizeable group appeared in the lobby. Some burly men in suits surrounded an old man in old fashioned clothes. The Fisherman, as we was mostly known, had come from a meeting with the sponsors of the large Shikoku based company, and had been for the past days trying to evaluate how would these elections affect the company performance, as well as the other business they were involved with. He had issued some recommendations to his workers, but cautioned that each and everyone of them were responsible for deciding their own vote in the end.

Reviewing the terminal, he was distraught at the political agendas some of these parties revealed. He had heard about a new party run by one of the younger Hogosha bosses, but it seemed like a mob group trying haphazardly to participate in grown man works. Extremely green, he concluded.
He decided to go for the old reliable, and submitted his vote for the Sunrise Party.

Felling that his purpose in the hall was done, he signalled his men that they were returning to the transport. He was discussing with his director Hebishima about the details for the project meeting for the afternoon. Hebishima commented nothing about the elections since the day before, including his vote for the Yūkōkai Re-emergence Society earlier on the week.
