ULC News – Cayo Lara Wins United Left Coalition Deputy Leadership

In an overwhelming victory, running un-opposed for most of the Deputy Leadership contest, Cayo Lara has won the Deputy Leadership Election, as he has passed the minimum votes from the ULC MPs needed and, as he is running un-opposed, an overall party vote will not take place. 
==Acceptance Speech==
(Cayo Lara, New Deputy Leader): Thank you, everyone. Before I start, I would like to thank all of my supporters and all of those MPs who helped get me to this point. I would like to thank Dolores Ibárruri for supporting me all the time in this contest and I would like to thank a good leader, who I have known since he was a young boy growing up in that small district in Zarantin, he has supported me all throughout this campaign, our leader, Alberto Garzón. 
This Election has given me time to reflect on early political memories. I remember the time this empire became a more democratic empire, having the new electoral reforms explained to me as a 5-year-old, that our nice new Emperor Frederick has made some new democratic reforms to our empire. 
In the wakening of this deputy leadership election, Christian Picquet, my opposition in this contest, decided to drop out because he felt he didn’t have enough support, even though I only had 2 votes from MPs and he had 1. 
As we are half way through our first legislative sessions, our leader must start cast a new vision for our empire and I would need to help him to do so. I promise to back Alberto Garzón 100% and I ask you to do the same. Only through unity comes the strength we need to fight the other parties, especially UKIP. United Left is the last line of defence for the millions who suffer. 
Only United Left can speak for the real Falleentium. We haven’t always, but that is what we must do. We can, and we will. I promise. To those who are concerned about how a party uniting Communists and Social Democrats will fail to pull itself together, there is only one United Left. It’s bigger than its leaders and deputy leaders, bigger even than its members and supporters. On behalf of the millions who need us, we are the guardians of decency and fairness, justice and equality in Falleentium and we are going to continue to do that. Thank you very much.
Well, there you have it. Our first Deputy Leader for at least 12 years, or at least until he dies or steps down, which he won’t be doing anytime soon.
