A plane flies into the SLP building, killing everyone inside.

The plane fuel melts the metal beams.

The plane flew into a decoy building. The real HQ is at an undisclosed location.

OOC: I can do this BS all day.

[The Sarian]

Party activists turn up to the HQ to deliver leaflets, only to realise they have no idea where the HQ is. The SLP subsequently have no ground game, and are subjected to electoral oblivion.

You could have just not acknowledged the plane, but ok.

Party activists organize at branch offices throughout the nation, so as to keep their campaigns local. They do not show up at the HQ for any reason.

I can probably design us a better logo after a bit of research and a week of procrastination.

Personally, I really liked the ALDE logo.

That was one of the logos I sourced from Google.

[Eol Sha]

As comm director I've started to put together the party's statements about passed and pending legislation here.

[Victoriala]

Interesting.

[New Werpland]

We had the same logo idea.

[Belmaria]

I propose we work on an alternative education bill.

Any other supporters?
