NSG Senate General Discussion Thread

[The Liberated Territories]

I tried that once and well...the Front happened.

I'd like to try to roleplay as a left wing senator, but god no one would take me seriously IC or OOC.

IDK it would be hilarious to see you RPing as a communist

Actually, I think I could argue communist worldview a lot better than a social democratic or liberal position - much my vitriol is reserved for corporations, which are merely the privileged pets of the State that are defended from all wrongdoings and have their profits privatized by the state's actors and their losses socialized.

Free Markets = Full Communism

What was the front? I wasn't around then.

A party I made in Calaverde (?) that was basically me embracing xenophobic nationalism ala UKIP style for the lulz.

[Keris Berani]

Menyediakan diri.

[Luxdonia]

Menyediakan diri.

I'm sorry?

Nationalism doesn't work in a country where the majority of the populace is mixed-race.

[Lamaredia]

Menyediakan diri.

I'm sorry?

I'm guessing we have our first terrorist organisation, considering that "Menyediakan diri" means "Prepare yourself" in Malay.

EDIT: And Keris Berani is "Brave Dagger".

Yeah, but for the sake of the RP it'd be better if you joined an existing one. Social democracy, for the most part, doesn't really exist in Asia, at least not the kind you see in Europe or Anglophone countries.

Ok... so just a centre-left party then? I know nothing about Asian politics, but really what I'm looking for is just a party where a standard centre-left viewpoint would work.

Actually a centre-left social democratic party exists in Malaysia.

That's not a social democratic party, look at it, it is quite clearly a poor disguise for a Fund A Space Program Party with intent to colonise Mars for Malaysia.

Join me.

What, hippie central?

[MERIZoC]

Be a buddhist monk. It'll be fun.

Yeah, save the country and your soul at the same time!

Lobby thread is open: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=381894&p=29150902#p29150902

Obviously more will be added later, and requests for a phrase to go in the thread's title are open seen as I am utterly incapable of coming up with something myself.

There's the daily life thread as well. I wasn't sure what kind of OP to go with seen as all the other daily life threads had never been archived so I just went with the standard one used for the other threads.
