Socialists circulating election flyers

With one month to go before Yurtyzstan holds its fourth legislative election, socialist groups have quickly begun to circulate flyers.

The Yurtyzstani Workers’ Party has sent volunteers to Yurtpyitaw, Lhesap, and Honggang -- Yurtyzstan’s three largest cities, all of which have wavered significantly in their support for the country’s existing command economy -- to circulate letters exhorting citizens to “vote to restore the greatness of Yurtyzstan” and praising communist candidates, such as Party Chairman Oon Em Pyo Iid, as “torch-bearers of eternal Yurtnara”.

The Yurtyzstani left is expected by analysts to perform poorly in the May elections, as support for market reforms has drastically risen following the formation of the capitalist Prosperity for Yurtyzstan Coalition by revolutionary founder Yurt Kyong-yon in November.
