Following a five-year term in office, Prime Minister [[Rachel Berry]] officially dissolved The Chamber of Representatives and called for elections to take place on the 30th of May. The results of the election continued the rise of the [[Progressive Unity Party]] and provided a historic upset, as the [[Conservative Action Party (Malgrave]] dropped out of official opposition in favour of the [[Malgravean Green Party]]


Following a stable five-year term in office Prime Minister [[Rachel Berry]] officially dissolved parliament and called for elections to take place on the 30th of May. The results continued the rise of the [[Progressive Unity Party]] and shockingly dropped the [[Conservative Action Party (Malgrave)]] out of official opposition status in favour of the [[Malgravean Green Party]]

Following the success of [[Operation Tempest]] and the end of the long-standing insurgency that had followed the civil war, and the stated success of the Royal Navy and Territorial Defence Force in several international operations and friendly military exercises, the Progressive Unity Party started the campaign off by claiming that their leadership of the country had led the country to make a positive impact on the international community.


The Progressive Unity Party utilised its success in handling the long-standing insurgency and claimed that its reforms of the Royal Navy led to the successes against larger foreign powers. Prime Minister Rachel Berry gained a hit in popularity when she toured the country and visited TDF conscripts close to the quarantine zone in Maldon pledging to bring those responsible to justice, continue modernising the military and work together with honourable allies like [[Kouralia]]. The Conservative Action Party blundered when it leader was caught making derisive comments about the Prime Ministers trip to the front lines but rebounded partially when it supported ending the state of emergency. The [[Green Party]] typically weak on issues of foreign affairs and internal security surprised many when it pledged to end conscription, the state of emergency and work together with nations like [[Kouralia]] and [[Crystal Spires]].
In response, the Conservative Action Party put out messaging claiming that the Progressive Unity Party had put the country at risk by opening it up to the international community far too quickly, and its messaging highlighted the high percentage of immigrants that now resided in the Research Colony compared to the local Malgravean population, although the latter campaign material was withdrawn after it received criticism from a wide section of society.


Reports of an anti-magic device being utilised across the country forced the government to admit that such a device had been developed and was now being used in order to protect national security. The Progressive-Unity Party claimed that the implementation of such a device would be used simply to make the use of dangerous spells that theoretically could destroy entire cities impossible. The Conservative Action Party backed calls from rural communities to make magic use across the country impossible, but this action drew protests from rights groups who claimed that banning magic completely would make life impossible for many species. In the latter stages of the campaign were varied with everything from the minimum wage to the amount of litter in public parks being discussed. All parties attempted to maintain a sense of energy through the campaigns with the Green Party and ruling PUP being most successful in this regard.
The Green Party started their campaign by releasing a pamphlet on security reforms, including an end to conscription and the break-up of the [[Special Investigative Service]], on foreign policy the Green Party stated discomfort on the countries deepening relationship with Glaristant and the Dornalian Republic, and called instead for focus to be made on opening the country with more like-minded nations like Crystal Spires and Kouralia.

The PUP was incredibly confident coming into the election, with its Prime Minister known for defeating terrorists, slavers and invading forces the party expected to maintain its current stack of seats. Prime Minister [[Rachel Berry]] rewarded the loyalty of her last administration by keeping the same cabinet and used this to tout the line that the PUP was an experienced administration with proven capabilities and results.
In comparison to 2009, the PUP came into the 2014 election incredibly confident, as with the success of [[Operation Tempest]] and several other successes against slavers and other threats, the Prime Minister was able to speak from a position of authority on matters of national security and foreign policy. In addition, the continuing growth of the economy meant that the Progressive Unity Party was able to fend off attacks from the Conservative Action Party about taxation and the state of various state-run companies like [[AlcoMal]].

The Conservative Unity Party ran a more timid campaign compared to the [[2009 Malgravean Emergency General Election]] but it still suffered a series of gaffes with several candidates being caught making offensive statements. It has also been claimed by anonymous party insiders that a lack of funding led to the parties campaign running out of steam, although this has not been independently verified while others claim that government use of the intelligence services and media gave them the advantage.

The Green Party had ambitious goals at the start of the campaign, aiming to become the Official Opposition in order to state their disapproval with conscription.

The Technology Party reduced the size of its campaign significantly with leader [[Helen Magnus]] focusing on maintaining the current portion of seats across the country and pushing forward for internal reforms that in her eyes would save the party from destruction.

Election Issues

Following the success of Operation Tempest and the end of the long-standing insurgency that had followed the civil war, and the stated success of the Royal Navy and Territorial Defence Force in several international operations and friendly military exercises, the Progressive Unity Party started the campaign off by claiming that their leadership of the country had led the country to make a positive impact on the international community.
