With the November federal elections fast approaching and months of campaigning behind them, both candidates for the top job in Genoliari are now gearing up for the fight of their lives.
Current President Santino Andolini has been President, or Capo di Governo, since 2006. He has enjoyed one full term as Capo and has almost assumed victory already by his public display of machoism. But now closing in on him in a nation-wide conducted poll, Senator Carminion DiGiovanni of the Republican Bloc will definately be pushing forward and doing some heavy campaigning to bump himself up and bring the Republicans back to power in Genoliari.
President Andolini is still sticking to his platform that has made Genoliari what it has been for the last five years. Immigration, religion and of course national security are top objects to be dealt with. The President is still bent on the angle that Genoliari needs a better and less strict immigration system which will allow refugees and people from deprived backgrounds to enter the nation with little to no complete background checks. he's also convinced that public schools in the country need to abolish religious classes in order to make those who aren't Dominican Catholic feel more at ease with their surroundings. Senator DiGiovanni on the other hand believes that this defies the basic principals on what this nation was created, "We are a nation of workers, the farms, fields and the small businesses thrive here. To take away what the blue-collar worker holds dearest to his heart such as spirituality is a travesty. Until religion falls in Genoliari, religious classes must remain where they are at this present time."
With the immigration system currently in place, the topic of national defense has come up as a hot point for these elections. Many faithful to the Republicans are concerned that Andolini's not-so-stirn policy on immigrants would allow any sort of meddling group or even terrorists to enter Genoliari. "That's why we have the police force. Look, I'm not saying we will let anybody enter willy-nilly, but we have to get with the times and realise that people from the third-world deserve a better home. There will still be background checks, but not so extensive as to making the process last up to a month or more." The President said on the subject. DiGiovanni wants to see tighter borders and even more funding to naval patrol to ensure the safety of those in Genoliari. "Fiscally, we can do it. What President Andolini doesn't realise is that we now live in a world that is no longer as safe as it was when our ancestors came here. Protection is the key to our survival."
Now on the trail, President Andolini has made his way to Progressivist territory where he thinks he has the most support in the nation, Neromana. Meanwhile, DiGiovanni has settled himself in the Republican stronghold of Abbondanza. From there, both candidates will take off in their own respective ways and do some serious campaigning. From rural communitites to bigger towns and cities, the people of Genoliari everywhere will be sure to catch a glimpse of their leader or the man who may some day be Capo.
