Volksfront to expand into Bretonia

[Cawdor]

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.

Personally, I don't like the idea of the unlawful factions having an influence on "lawful" actions of Bretonia such as declaring or ending wars. I simply view the sympathizers-solution as slightly ooRP. IMO, there should be the bret.gov consisting of chars provided by the lawful faction leaders to provide the inRP agenda - and a separate leader-chat to discuss common house affairs like the ban on a special commodity and other similar inter-law problems.
Those are only my 2 cents however.
And while we wouldn't mind to participate, we also wouldn't have hard feelings if we weren't included since we are basically the new guy in the school yard.

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.

While we do in fact too believe that the population of Bretonia isn't at all anti socialist, we do believe that our representation of the working population (by actual planned-economy-socialists) and the resulting problems for the industrial productivity of Bretonia and thus the war machine are in fact a huge problem for the Governing parties that started these conflicts in the first place.
I'd very much like to compare the current situation of Bretonia with the German Reich at times of the first world war, where the leading figure took on too many opponents at once (like Bretonia now even provoking the war with Rheinland). What actually ended the war and forced the Kaiser into capitulation back then was the (in propaganda terms) socialist backstabbing in the parliament where they denied to support the war effort any longer. Of course, this was only the final occasion for the war to end, not the basic cause.
We think that it is indeed possible for the bret.gov to realize how a socialist party, that is on the rise thanks to worsened work conditions because of the years of war, might be able to force Bretonia into capitulation.
The result was the one you read, that an excuse was found to get rid of them.
Again, I don't compare this to the UK at all because the UK's way of dealing with things is in a stark contrast to how the the Bret.gov behaves in discovery Freelancer.

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.

Well, as you mentioned, there already is an imperial Labour party: The Fedearlists. It may not have become clear in the PPB's backstory. But PPB does represent actual socialism which means severe state-side controls of the economy aka planned economy.
While I thought that this should be enough of a reason to pose a huge threat to the empire of bretonia others may indeed disagree.

Having that said, I would really love to hear suggestions from your part to iron this out a bit more. What other reasons would you recommend for this rather small party (before the war never more than 5% of the vote on an imperial level - sky rocketing in surveys during the war) to get banned other than posing a threat to the economy.
Should I add concrete violence and/or communism.

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

we don't have one Q_Q
