United Earth: Political RP [OOC]

[Aureumterra]

I see the problem now. Alright, Southpaws cannot merge into any parties but changing coalitions is fine. A Southpaw-WLIR coalition is okay but not forming one singular party.

They can if they want to IC, I don’t think you need to set rules that would reduce the depth of the RP

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Fine then. We'll call a by-election. Also, by WLIR proceedings, the membership will be voting on it anyway, and so we'll have a small mandate of some sort. Also, we'll impeach you back for perjury and corruption.

How are you going to call a by-election for a party-list region-wide election, especially how are you going to call for snap elections when your party isn't even in government?

It's only going to be called for our seat. It's precedent under parliamentary systems to do that.

Can we have party associations like those in the EU Parliament? They're a middle ground between parties and coalitions, basically.

I just need to ask the Southpaws why? Like really you had the chance to be in government and help a leftist government and you just split the coalition and you still have few seats then both me-greens and the Republican-CUC coalition. You have literally ruined your own party chances.

Hmm, you guys can solve it IC. As Aureumterra suggested, making laws on party merging and stuff will reduce the depth of the RP. So yes, we can have them but you guys will be doing most of the party business as IC stuff

Not to mention associating with the radical left will cause many of your voters to defect to D-G

Because we made an agreement and to be frank, the Southpaws would never get their way and basically be bullied. They're anti-capitalist, we're anti-capitalists, and you're just a bunch of social democrats who sit on the fence so long I hope you get impaled on it!

The last part was a joke, but I think the message got through.

You can just edit it, nothing much will change other than that because you're still the government

Yes, there's precedent in governments were people win the seats.
IDK if there's precedent in governments were parties win seats though, or if that would even be possible in systems that use Party Lists.

So, Arkhastok, were seats elected under a Party-List or something else in the election?

I never said I left, I just merged parties

Would The Party of the United Left be allowed to join your coalition? It's a lot more moderate than the WLIR and the Southpaws have the majority in it so they can control us.

Not a single WLIR member will enter government now.

Fine. We won't get positions now, but we'll still be recognised as part of the government. I don't see what your problem is with us. It's not like we're associating with paramilitary groups trying to overthrow the government. We're not rebels or anything.

Yes, essentially a party-list system if I understand it correctly

Even if they did, hell would break loose as the GOP would do everything in their power to stop it

No I will call off the Coalition and it will just be me and the greens if need be.

You can revert your post, OP allowed party merging now

Nah, Southpaws agreed to party association instead.

[Greater Liverpool]

Also I would think that there would be a split in the southpaw party considering that this would have to be an executive decision and I am guessing that there are many of those that would want to be in government.

We didn't merge, we are in an association, so am I back in the coalition????

Describe your problem with us. It's not like we're burning the government building down.

As long as the WLIR is not near the government at all.

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.
