STN: Unification fight continues

As debates regarding the status of many States and the Territories rages in Parliament, the ground campaign for a Unified Helkar heats up
PORT COLLINGER; Despite the 'calm' for the past several months, the fight in the streets of Port Collinger City and Vintheriu has continued to heat up between groups opposing and supporting the unification of the Helkar Island. 
On the opposing side, the Collinian Front and Vintheriu Solidarity Movement have respectively fought in their territories for the rejection of proposals whic call for a united Helkar. A popular mantra of the CF decalres the economy of the proposed 'Helkar' would be fractured due to a disconnected nature between the two territories. Indeed, there are limited physical connections beyond the shared island, due to the vast nature of the island, and the mountains between them. Only a single Highway, the Alaric Bryland Memorial Freeway, connects the two territories. The ABMF was funded and built by Rémond-Bryland Industries, by the late Réne Rémond, in honor of his late friend and father-in-law, Alaric Bryland. 
Supporting movements, such as the Helkar Party and the United Soueca in both territorial Legislatures, and the Helkar Unity Front movement, are fighting to pass measures to provide Referenda and support the unification of the two Helkarian territories. They counter the claims that an economy would be fractured by indication several large firms with strong, base connections in both territories, like Hess Industries International and Rémond-Bryland Industries. Additionally, they point out the cultural unity between the people of the island, and the logical conclusion unity would be. 
No word has been given from either the Houses of Hess or Warrens, but the issue has taken a hot-button seat in the Legislative agendas of the Helkar Party. Despite the party not being in the government in either territory, their position has gained support from the New Progressives at the local level, and has begun to trickle into the upper echlons of the Party. Additionally, support by many other parties in both legislatures is growing, especially as popular opinion swings in favour of a unity deal.
It isnt clear when, if at all, such a proposal could be seen at the local level, let alone higher in the Imperial Parliament, however it is becoming clear many support this proposal.
