Increase of decrease, Elections (Presidential and General) should take place this year. If not, A-Phase 2 will start, and half of the Politicians will have to lose their lives.

Increasing the cash deposits this time is good. But increase it in 10-20 fold as all the candidates have enough money earned illegally.
