New Party
Party name : Greater Kusari Prosperity Sphere 第クサリを共栄圏
Political Alignment : Faschist -0.5
Imperial Alignment : Ambivilent 0.0

Main Issues : Expansionism, Military Society, Strong Government, Nationalization of Corporate Assets, Immediate resumption of hostilities with Gallia and Bretonia, Defense against Alien and Paranatural threats.
Short Description : The Greater Kusari Prosperity sphere is an Ultra-left wing party, and is a bastion of militarist and ultra-traditionalist thought. It promotes an adapted version of the ancient code of Bushido as it's ideology, and seeks to reform Kusari into a military state, for this is the proper way of things.

It is related to, but distinct from the Kogenist and Farmers' Alliance trains' of thought. Being much more aggressive towards internal threats, and much more overt in it's expansionist and military goals. While it would support a return of Kogen to the throne, they consider his previous policies too weak for what is ultimately necessary.

Manifesto.

It took some time to Akashi to be able to come to the Tau-29 system where he could vote. He made his journey from ill-de-france where he was sent by his employers.

He looked saddened about his former home, home he couldn't bear after his exile from the navy. None the less, he wanted the best for it, knowing that one day he will return, after making a name form himself and cleansing past stains (//he never got the call that his name was cleared//)

he went to the polling station and looked with a grim face at the architecture he missed so dearly, and the state-of-art ships that were docked in the hangars.

He dropped his vote in and left quickly thereafter, taking a passenger train the long way back to ill-De-France.

The eyes of several other high ranking members of the Naval Forces were resting on him, it was clear which vote was expected from him. He smiled at them, assuring them that he would do the right thing.
Of course, he had decided otherwise.

Lieutenant Commander Kawamura beamed as she entered the voting office together with her father. It was the first election for her and she was naturally a bit excited. She waved at a few people she knew before confidently putting her vote down.
Coming from a long tradition of Naval Forces Pilots, it was never a question who she would vote for.

The Tokkeitai agent with the codename Hakutaku quietly entered the voting office. His face didn't betray his emotions, if he had actually felt any. Those fools and their democracy..
He had never believed in elections and thought that nothing good would come out of it anyway. And he obviously took the only sensible action.
If they would just let us run this whole thing...
