United Earth: Political RP [OOC]

[Aureumterra]

Opposition Leader Guðni Jóhannesson Official Statement
It has alarmed me that the Southpaw party would form a Party Association, now called the Party of the United Left, with the far left WLIR. The Southpaws always ran on a platform of partial private industry, while they have merged into association with party that openly calls for the destruction of private industry. This has been a betrayal, more than anything, to the voters that voted for the Southpaw party on their platform, which they quickly changed after their formation of coalition. Aligning themselves with the far left, and to be frank, violent left, is nothing but a full on betrayal of their voter base. Therefore, I am looking, with my fellow party members, to push impeachment against seats held by the Southpaw party on the basis of voter dishonesty. I shall be addressing parliament regarding this when we make our party’s decision final.

It's only an association not a merge, we still hold our party's views

That’s what he’s targeting, the association, since it is a betrayal to voters in his eyes

Excuse me, OP, how do I conduct opposition research and find dirt on my enemies? Because oh boy I want to get to the darker side of politics.

Well, not much way you can do that unless you look for flaws in their policies or campaigns. In terms of finding corruption or framing, that's again an IC thing and if someone just makes it up then it would be unreasonable

Alright. How do I get people to vote against their own party?

It is also a betrayal to the both the Deltaist and greens considering that you broke off with the WLIR to join us then joined an association with the WLIR after I announced a government.

I'll filibuster you m8

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Huh?

I want to turn some people against their own party in the impeachment proceedings. I will filibuster for about 8 hours IC, to show you how it's done.

That is coming to be incredible hard to do considering that people rarely vote against party line and especially after an election.

And you do realise that I can just sleep for those 8 hours and come back on. Also this is a forum RP don't think you can do it.

Nah, that just means 'write a speech that takes 8 hours long to read at regular speed'. Doesn't mean I just continuously write for 8 hours OOC. I just write 8 hours worth of content. Keep in mind John Galt's speech from Atlas Shrugged takes 3 hours, so we'll be here a while.

EDIT: I'll also do it in breaks so you can ask questions and stuff. Technically, I can filibuster without doing that, but that'd be dishonest.

Not to mention that MP rarely vote against their own party in general in parliamentary systems or party-list systems.

You've read Atlas Shrugged?

Y-yes. It was a slog, but I finished it. I'm currently reading War and Peace. Some other books I've read include:

-Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
-What on Earth Happened? The Complete Story of the Planet, Life, and People from the Big Bang to the Present Day
-Russian Roulette by Anthony Horowitz
-The Conquest of Bread by Peter Krotopkin
-Animal Farm by George Orwell
-Metropolis by Thea von Harbou
-Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (The best, if not second best book on this list. Russian Roulette is close though.)

And the book that turned me a socialist:

-What is Property by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

That's how a filibuster is supposed to work, unlike in the US where you just raise your hand and go "I filibuster!". The current record I believe is 6 hours and 24 minutes made by some random MP somewhere with breaks, and the record for an unbroken speech is about 2 hours and 30 minutes by Fidel Castro to the UN.

EDIT: Never mind, the record was 90 hours and 2 minutes by some Nepalese lady.

You genuinely can't. Vote anyway and you get charged with contempt. Just drop the damn bill or vote against it and I'll stop talking.

It would be North American region rather than US, but this looks good imo, just have to wait for OP
