Volksfront to expand into Bretonia

[jammi]

we are already engaged in talks with numerous couraged Bretonian citizens and servants. However, the patriotic ones are slightly repelled by the fact that we are socialists.

Hatred of socialism is something that seems to be most prevalent in Liberty. Bretonia is actually the most socialist of the Houses, with an NHS and two spacing nationalised mega-corporations (probably more planetside). So long as Bretonia continues to be based on the UK, there is a strong socialist base, with the House being a constitutional monarchy - the Lords and Commons hold the majority of of power, with the Queen retaining a few royal prerogatives.

Beyond that, it might be an idea to get in contact with Dab, etc about the Parliament. We're in the process of setting up a fully player driven Parliament, much in the style of the old Zoner Council. The Mollys and Gaians have 'sympathetic' MPs in there, which in effect means Gaian and Molly players can influence legislation in their favour. If you're really dedicated to this idea, you might want to enquire into getting some of your own independent 'sympathetic' seats.

Also, you're vastly overestimating the power of the aristocracy on the legislature here. The elected Commons is the sovereign house, with the Lords being subordinate - much as it is in the current UK. Similarly, Bretonia isn't some kind of neo-fascist state. They wouldn't outlaw a working man's political party - I mean, the Green Front still exists, and it's well known they supply and fund terrorists. The current starting parties are the Royalists, the Federalists, the Green Party, the Independence Party, the Democratic Party. Greens are Gaians and Indepedence is Mollys. Royalists are Conservatives, Federalists are Labour, Democratic is the Lib Dems - so far as I can tell.

We'll also have a system where independent MPs can band together to form new parties - a minimum of three would be required. This should all be up to date, but you'd have to check with Dab for the concrete details.

As for guard rep - why not just get a triple bribe?

EDIT: Also, the PPL backstory. A 12% share of the vote isn't a crushing defeat - for an minor party that's a huge bloody victory. :lol:
