Adelaide Meade: We now go to Progressive Campaign Headquarters, in Laeralsford, where we've arranged an interview with the Speaker of the General Assembly, Delegate Anna Zhou. Reporter Renee Lemaire is on the scene. Over to you, Renee.
Renee Lemaire: Thanks, Adelaide. I'm here at Progressive HQ with Anna Zhou, the current Speaker of the General Assembly and a major figure in the Progressive Party. So, Delegate Zhou- what do you feel is at stake tonight?
Del. Anna Zhou: Well, Renee, tonight is clearly an important night for politics in Laeral. We in the Progressive Party are hoping to retain control of the Commons, I'm pretty sure John Stephens, my opposite number over at Conservative Headquarters, wants the same thing. Additionally, how this elections goes could- actually will- determine control of the Commons, and by extension, Laeral's agenda as a whole.
Renee Lemaire: So what's on your agenda if the Progressives win the Commons?
Del. Anna Zhou: Well, the issue at the forefront of our minds right now is of course the current situation with High Fells. We in the Progressives of course want to avoid conflict with High Fells, but we also want to support national defense- all without infringing on civil liberties. We also want to improve paid maternity leave and support our national railroad system.
Renee Lemaire: I see. What do you think will happen in the election tonight?
Del. Anna Zhou: Well, I know that the Progressives as a whole as well as my counterparts over in the Commons have been working hard in order to get results tonight, but nothing's certain. I'm cautiously hopeful, but only a few provinces are in so far.
Renee Lemaire: Well, that's all the time we've got tonight, Delegate- thank you for the interview.
Del. Anna Zhou: Thank you for having me.
