In 1971 the Ministry of Justice started an independent investigation into allegations of corruption within senior levels of the government, as a result of this investigation then Prime Minister Johann Leipzig was arrested on charges of corruption and treason against the Malgravean state and executed after a short trial.

After a short internal election Adalbert Kaczmarek was appointed Prime Minister, and as one of his first actions he dissolved the Chamber of Representatives and the Chamber of Supervisors to prepare for an emergency general election.

Election Issues

A key issue for the election campaign was corruption within the administration and concerns about nepotism within society, an issue which was made even more important with the Ancestral Study Group warning against the practice. Adalbert Kaczmarek and the Conservative Action Party put forward themselves as anti-corruption warriors, with a promise to purge the government of both corrupt officials and those believed to have achieved their appointment through nepotistic connections.

Secondly, the continuation of the civil war remained an election issue with various arguments fought over whether the war should continued to be fought in an aggressive manner or if peace talks should be attempted. The Conservative Action Party supported continued military action while the Progressive Unity Party advocated for a peaceful solution, although, the party was not wholly unified on this front.

Campaigns

Conservative Campaign

The Conservative Action Party rallied behind Adalbert Kaczmarek and heralded him as a key asset in the fight against corruption, with the Conservative Action Party advertising themselves as the only political party able to truly tackle corruption and nepotism within the political system.

Beyond this the Conservative Party called for their economic reforms to be maintained, and for the military to be given independence to wage a war of total aggression against the Socialist Republic and the National Workers' Republic.

Technology Party

The Technology Party called for the establishment of an academic conference to review current anti-corruption measures, and understand how nepotism can be effectively stamped out in the future. It attacked the Conservative Action Party for delaying planned reforms to integrated computer systems which they claimed would have been able to reliably flag corruption within state-owned enterprises.

The Technology Party also called for investments to be made in the military to improve equipment and reduce losses by slowly replacing manned units with autonomous or semi-autonomous drones.

Progressive Campaign

The Progressive Unity Party called for more resources to be given to a new independent anti-corruption agency and work with the Gabriel Narutowicz Pioneers and Free Democratic Youth to find alternate employment for individuals to avoid nepotism, and it accused the Conservative Action Party of allowing corruption to rise through inaction.

Beyond that the Progressive Unity Party experienced disunity on the subject of the next steps to take on the civil war, as some members supported continued military action while others pushed for peace talks. It soon expanded to other issues, and voters soon came to recognise the Progressive Unity Party as a chaotic organisation which hampered their election campaign.

Green Party

The Green Party attacked the Conservative Action Party for not taking an active stance against the rise of corruption and nepotism within society and promised to work together with civil groups and form an independent anti-corruption agency.

On the subject of the war the Green Party pledged to start immediate peace talks to end the war without blood shed and also said that they would look into ending conscription in the country.

The Greens also supported a massive increase in renewable energy, and promised a review into the possibility of ending isolation within the next ten years.
