After a ten-year stint in government, the Progressive Unity Party headed into the 1990 Malgravean General Election in a rather weakened position due to the decision of several senior members of the party to step back from politics. At the same time, the Conservative Action Party was experiencing a resurgence following on from defeats in 1985 and 1980.
Election Issues
A major concern at the start of the 1990 election campaign was the future of the economy and the end to the longstanding policy of isolation that had been negotiated as part of the Epping-Rensk Agreement. At this time the economy was starting to show signs of stagnation and the response to this troubling news formed the central part of the campaign, as the Progressive Unity Party struggled to put an economic platform that resonated with voters it lost traction compared to others in the country.
