Just because something was done one way in the past, doesn't mean it is the best option for the present.

[Van Hool Islands]

I think when listing party alliances/coalitions in the OP, each party in an alliance should get its own spoiler tab like tgis:

Liberal-Green-SDP Alliance

If youre still separate parties then go make a coalition thread, thats what was done in the past

Coalition threads are basically useless. We have an alliance Discord, and I think that's all we need. You do you though.

[The Chongan]

We need a yuge military. A big one. Lots of guns, lots of tanks, it'll be the best, yugest military ever!

What do you mean I'm the CEO of an arms company? What company?

YES! But a large army is only good if it is well fed. I say we mass produce rations, maybe add in some instant coffee to the rations to increase Walts Coffee Co. profit to keep our troops energized!
(BTW my character is the CEO of a sucessful coffee corporation called Walts Coffee Co.)

[Mersdon]

Hey Merizoc, would it be possible if a working coalition were to be formed between your party and the PFNS?

[Rebels and Saints]

I'm going to be taking a break from NS for just a day or two. I let my mouth get a hold of me debating, and now I've started a fight with half the moderation and I need to cool down a bit.

[MERIZoC]

Hey Merizoc, would it be possible if a working coalition were to be formed between your party and the PFNS?

We're not looking for standing alliances, once it gets time for govt formation we'll keep in mind potential partners.

[Mountain Pygmies]

BTW, does anyone think we need an actual military?

I was thinking we'd have a coast guard like Navy, and then a Police Force with the ability to be deployed as soldiers in a time of war. This is because of our alliances with other big countries, as well as the fact we have no enemies and a small population that'd be better projected toward work in the economy and private sector.

We need a yuge military. A big one. Lots of guns, lots of tanks, it'll be the best, yugest military ever!

What do you mean I'm the CEO of an arms company? What company?

Fee Fi Fo Fum, I the smell the blood of a military-industrial complex.

Something else for the admins - the current link for the Liberal-Green Alliance goes to the page for SLP;R, the biggest party in the alliance. The Alliance doesn't actually have a thread of its own, so the thread for SLP;R should be linked just to that party, not the whole alliance.

[Zaporizhian Host]

Is it appropriate to start the formal vote for De Willoughby Shah as a speaker now?

[East Meranopirus]

I've found myself making an updated diagram for the Parliament:

From left to right:
Dark Red: Christian Syndicalist Workers Union Of Saint Hilda
Red: Peoples Labour Party - Mountain Party
Pink: Republic
Gold: Christian People's Congress Caucus
Dark Green: Center-Progressive
Purple: Social Democratic Party
Green: The Greens
Light Blue: Social Liberal Party - The Radicals
Grey: Independents
Blue: National Peoples Party
Yellow: Capitalist Party
Orange: Sankta Hilda All-Patriots' Congress
Black: People's Front for National Sovereignty

One thing I've discovered while making the diagram is that it's very hard to distinguish whether the parties in an alliance should be listed together or separately. I've adopted the same method as the last diagram, and listed the PLP-Mountain Party together, as well as CPC-AAP. This is because the CPC said their alliance is like Labour-Co-Op in the UK, where the party members are listed together, and PLP-Mountain said they were following the CPC. However, the Liberals-Greens-SDP are listed separately as the alliance is of a looser kind. I did put the parties since it makes more sense.

Anyway, not much as changed in terms of membership since the last update. Most of the growth has come from the left, which now looks most likely to form government. The Liberals-Greens-SDP is still the biggest alliance with 13 members, and the NPP second at 8.

Here are some possible coalitions (24 is required for majority):

Left-wing coalition:
LibGreenSDP-CP-CPC-R-PLP = 27

Center-right coalition:
LibGreenSDP-NPP-KP = 27

Center-right coalition (without Liberals):
NPP-KP-SHAPC-PFNS-CPC-CP = 24
(Note it will be unlikely CPC and CP will accept an arrangement with fascists)

So, the Liberal-Green-SDP Alliance still seems the most likely to form government - the only question is with which side.
