I mean I'm sure some Tory higher-ups do, and it's just a privately held position.

[Jedi Council]

Yeah different iteration.

I'll be editing my post in a little while to make a viable Labour Leadership candidate

I personally recommend that you do Defence Secretary as there's going to possibly be some interesting things on the defence front later in the RP, but if you want to do a Labour candidate you can choose to. It's all fine.

Are multiple characters allowed?

If so I would make both, otherwise I'll settle on which one I prefer and go with it

Personally, I think that's alright, but it depends on what Agarn says.

In 1997, he eventually managed to become a Professor at the New York University Business School, moving to the United States.

I can't see any high profile UK politicians supporting a privatisation of the NHS, plus you need to add your name at the bottom.

[Sao Nova Europa]

Done.

Also on NHS, changed his position to:

"Privately he supports a complete privatization of the NHS and he has authored in support of free market healthcare while in the United States, but as Brexit Party Vice-Chairman he has stated that he only wishes for a partial privatization of certain services only and hides his true views. "

No

Northumbrian Nationalism is not a mainstream ideology in 2020

No

Northumbrian Nationalism is not a mainstream ideology in 2020

I disagree. The Northern Independence Party has gained 20,000 Twitter followers in less than three months.

They are still nowhere near being electable. If you want to do something like that I would recommend the Yorkshire Party since I think they have had strong showings in local elections
