GALNET - 19 JAN 3307 - Prime Minister Mahon Campaigns for Re-Election

Edmund Mahon has launched a political campaign to be elected as the Alliance’s leader for a second term.

The incumbent prime minister is undertaking a whistle-stop tour across Alliance space to rouse support. Only members of the Assembly can cast votes in this election, but they will be heavily influenced by public opinion within their systems.

Mahon’s campaign has focused on the Alliance’s huge expansion during his six-year premiership, with reminders of triumphs such as the Alliance Festival of Culture. His ability to handle a crisis has also been highlighted, including President Kincaid’s attempted coup and the League of Reparation’s crusade.

More recent examples of his leadership are welcoming Marlinist refugees from the Empire and exploiting the Coalsack Nebula to boost economic prosperity. However, Mahon’s critics have pointed out that both strategies increased the risk of attack from Neo-Marlinist terrorists and the Thargoids.

Addressing a packed conference hall on Birmingham in his home system of Diso, Mahon proclaimed:

“We live in an increasingly turbulent galaxy, making it important to maintain a steady hand at the wheel. I will be honoured to continue representing the diverse peoples of the Alliance.”

Mahon does best what ke knows to last
No ammonia, no thargoid breaths
Marlinists come, there will be no bombs
Let us expand, it will never end
 
Request for a photoshop / (photo) of Eddie campaign bus/ beluga. I have not the resources to do so. thanks.
Who'd want Eddie gone though? I mean the Sirius corp. Making so much profit from that terraform of those ammonia Worlds, there is no way they'll let anyone hurt Eddie Mahon.
 
Regarding the huge expansion of the Alliance.

Am I right in thinking thats the first time Galnet has acknowledged the BGS changes to the galaxy by players?

Will they double up and point out Hudsons shocking failures keeping the Federation together I wonder?

Doesn't help that Hudson powerplay mechanics favour non-Federal factions...
 
As others have already pointed out, the decision to expand in thargoid controlled space, and the lakon controvercy is not something a president should be happy about.

I'd like him to change his goals, if elected.
 
Okay, but who is his competition?

I'm absolutely in Charlie Day mail room conspiracy board mode right now, but I am just waiting for the dots to start connecting. Can't help wondering if the whole Lakon / Core Dynamics situation is going to come into play somehow. Someone building their platform on an independent Lakon, or on the need for an Alliance-exclusive company, something like that? Rachel Ziegler making the shift from Admiral to politician? 🤔

I'm all for change. Clearly what the Alliance needs is a Chrisjen Avasarala to look fabulous and swear at people.
