Following the 1994 Malgravean Emergency General Election and an uncommon six-year parliamentary term, Malgrave entered 2000 with a fresh election and the end of isolation on the horizon.

Election Issues

Malgrave officially ended it's multi-decade isolationist position in 2000, however, the pace of this exit was a hotly debated subject amongst political parties, and some were still convinced about the need to maintain isolationism.

In 2000, a few signs indicated that Malgrave was starting to recover from the economic decline that typified the Lost Decade, however fierce debate still emerged over the best way to help the economy recover, and the viability of a planned overseas research colony to facilitate more radical developments.

Campaigns

Progressive Campaign

The Progressive Unity Party focused the majority of their campaign around Nikola Tesla, with election propaganda proclaiming that only Tesla could guarantee complete economic recovery and put ascension back on the horizon.

Beyond this, the Progressive Unity Party called for a cautious approach to be taken to reopening up Malgrave to the international community, with a technocratic approach favoured.

Conservative Campaign

The Conservative campaign focused on the dangers of ending isolationism, with propaganda depicting various outside threats seeking to take advantage of various crisis within the country. It advocated for a complete shutdown of this process, and a large increase in the military budget to counter potential threats.

In response to the Lost Decade, the Conservative Party also called for the privatisation of various state-run companies like MalMart and MalTec but called for others like MalTra to be protected, a middle ground approach designed to soothe both radical and moderate wings of the party.

Green Party

The Green Party welcomed the end of isolationism, however, the party called for an environmental review to be conducted before any overseas expansion was attempted and expressed concern over the potential danger to local ecosystems posed by dangerous experiments.

The Green Party promoted greater support for workers cooperatives and self-managed industry, and a conversion of state-run businesses like MalMart into workers cooperatives.

Technology Party

The Technology Party was not led by a singular figure during this election like in previous years, as the party was experimenting with a technocratic council, however, political infighting within this council meant that the party couldn't agree on much for a solid platform heading into the election.

Instead, the Technology Party called for academic reviews into subjects ranging from the end of isolation to planned overseas expansion. As a result the party suffered highly and continued to slide downward in the polls.
