Political Parties of Rusana: Difference between revisions

After the ceasefire that ended the civil war, the RPA gained legal status and defeated the islamist camp in the 1978 election. The RPA then initiated a political and security crackdown on islamist parties that included legal threats of outlawing them entirely. The party is mainly funded by donations from wealthy donors, including many Corummese billionaries. The party supports a continued robust economic relations and a political alignment with [[Corumm]]. Critics say the party is just a vehicle for eastern elites to keep their power and for foreign Corummese interests to run rampant.

'''Jamaat-e-Islami''' is an islamist political party advocating the centrality of Islam and Sharia law in the governance of the State. Founded by a group of notable islamic scholars in 1960 as a splinter from the now defunct Islamist General Congress, the party seeks to make Sharia law the only source of legislation as the law of God transcends any laws made by man. It also supports the banning of alcohol, pornography and strict abortion regulations. In government from 1974 to 1978, the party's polarizing stances led to the outbreak of the brutal Rusani civil war which ended in a Corummese brokered ceasefire and free elections, in which Jamaat was electorally trounced by its secular rivals.  

Out of government, Jamaat has worked to slowly reconstruct its electoral base from the opposition benches. Most of the party's support lies comes from poor urban Sunnis and people from western rural areas who feel neglected by a government dominated by eastern elite groups. The party is staunchly anti Corummese and has proposed in the past to deport anyone who self identifies as an ethnic Corummese unless they take an oath of loyalty to [[Rusana]].

The '''Party of Rusani Democrats''' is a small, centrist political party advocating for maintaining a strong strategic alliance with [[Corumm]] to ensure Rusana's security and interests. The party models its organization after its Corummese counterpart, the [[Party of Corummese Democrats]]. The party advocates the abolition of all political parties but itself, shutting down the national assembly and the creation of a police state. Its leader Kaveh Meskini styles himself as the ''Brother Leader'' and he is rumored to be an active Corummese intelligence agent. The party is funded entirely by Meskini, who owns some of the largest soap factories in the country for which its also called the Soap Party. The PRD has its own security force that it deploys to guard its political rallies, protect Meskini himself and his soap factories and picket and disrupt islamist and communist events.
