I am Breaking Scoop, news editor for CNN (Canterlot News Network). Recently, I was afforded the great opportunity to interview Twilight Sparkle and her friends about their views on politics.
This group of national heroes has saved Equestria no less than half a dozen times, and includes not only a full-fledged Princess, but also the Hero of the Crystal Empire, a Wonderbolt, and arguably Equestria's most famous designer. Naturally, I was thrilled to have the chance to hear about their well-reasoned views on the issues that impact ponies' everyday lives.
Boy, was I surprised at what I found! These are their philosophies.

This is a sort of semi-dark satire about political roles. What would they look like in Equestria (there are a lot of political themes present in the show)!? Sure to be a treat for political junkies!

It's a beautiful morning in Canterlot, but Octavia Philharmonica is having trouble practicing. After her previous betrayal of one of her best and closest friends, she has been unable to move on, and her resulting emotional turmoil is disrupting her music. A mysterious friend drops by to help her redeem herself, but Octavia is unwilling to even consider that she could change. Will Octavia's friend be able to get through to her? And just who is she, anyway? Lunaverse story.

Love doesn't always last forever. And sometimes it can crumble so spectacularly that you never want to see or speak to the other person again.

Celestia was perfectly content with that. But when Twilight Sparkle suddenly appears at the palace in Canterlot, after a century of silence, she has no choice but to talk to her.

Politely, of course. Always politely.

Hulda has run Whiterun's only tavern for a long time, and has seen many, strange things. She's dealt with drunkards, brawlers, politically-driven idiots who love wagging their tongues, and more. She believed she could handle about any situation that came her way. But...talking horses? How does anyone deal with crazy talking horses?

Understanding of the few Skyrim-named characters are not necessary, but it can make the story a little easier to follow.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon get to talking about current events in the wake of “To Where And Back Again,” and discover just how differently they feel about the changelings.

Friendship may be magic, but is is powerful enough to overcome political divisions?

An early draft of this story appeared as “The Equestrian Candidate” in the March 2016 Writeoff ("It's Your Funeral"), but the version here has been completely overhauled, thanks in large part to horizon's assistance.

Now with a reading by Snogwritts!

Few ponies immigrated to America in the Nineteenth Century, and none thought much about the Civil War. Battles, talk of slavery and politics... those were human things. Ponies stayed away.

Except for Soarin. Yet as he scouts the armies from above, he finds he is not alone.

Rush Limbuck is a cigar-chomping conservative Equestrian talk show host. On his show, he talks about the political issues facing Equestria. Also, he occasionally says some things that get him into trouble.

Moving to Equestria and buying a small farm in a village not far from the capital was just the change of pace Red needed. A nice, quiet life while she got her mental and physical state back into something resembling a functioning human being.

Ponies by nature, are usually friendly, outgoing and physically affectionate. Red's capacity to withstand polite society, and her limited energy for human- or pony interaction, will be pushed to their extremes.

Or maybe that's just the lack of sleep talking.

Yesterday I found another brony at my school. We talked, and he said he was real into Appledash fics. This is for him. And, I guess anyone who likes Appledash fics.

I know, It's short. Keep it short, keep it to the point.

Written at five thirty A.M. on my way to school... don't expect it to be super special or anything. Criticism is okay, just keep it polite.

That's about it. Enjoy!

In the shadow of political turmoil, riots, and inter-tribal conflict, Equestria cannot afford another crisis. When a legal snarl over a funeral explodes into a scandal, there may be a chance to set things right.

Now, armed with total faith in the power of friendship and harmony, Twilight Sparkle arrives in Cloudsdale to talk down a fringe movement of radical young Pegasi.
It would be a lot easier if their leader hadn't been petrified for fifty years.

Takes place between The Last Problem and MLP: A New Generation.
