Introduction and Members List | Monarchist Manifesto | News and Information | Party Anthem and Flag | The Royalist Guard | Stalhelm Alliance | Schloss von Tyrannien

Welcome to the official thread for the Classical Monarchist Party, the NSG Senate's only genuinely conservative, monarchist political party. We stand for real justice, real national pride and a real monarchy to lead our nation into the future while keeping it firmly grounded in our history and the timeless values of our civilization. We seek not to hold back progress, but preserve and revive that from the past which we see as valuable, and favour the guidance of centuries-old traditions and institutions over the radical and untested ideas of armchair revolutionaries and naïve young ideologues. Our aim is to preserve the best things about our nation and undo past mistakes while finding solutions to new problems that do not clash with the existing institutions and values that make our nation and our people great- values like loyalty, honesty, hardwork, cooperation, faith and respect. We are not racist or authoritarian, nor are we aggressively nationalist, but believe in an inclusive patriotism that unites our people under one sovereign and set of values, regardless of race, class or theological differences. If you believe that not all change is for the best, if you value your heritage and wish to live in a nation that takes pride in its own identity, the Classical Monarchist Party is for you.
- Old Tyrannia, Chairman and President of the Classical Monarchist Party

Manifesto

Introduction

The problem with the modern government of our nation is that it is afflicted with too much democracy, a term that was, prior to the accursed French revolution, generally thought of in the mind of the public as being synonymous with "mob rule". We now live in a society in which those most adept at lying their way into office via a system of election by vested financial interests and the uneducated classes. Democracy is not a virtue in itself but a system to be judged according to its own merits; like any system, it is prone to being transformed through the fanaticism of its followers into a destructive force. Unbalanced democracy, along with contempt for the traditions of our people, have been slowly eating away at Aurentina for decades.

The Classical Monarchist Party are the only party today offering a real alternative to this system. In place of democratic mob rule, we bring the divinely ordained system of monarchy. In place of moral nihilism, we bring faith. In place of multiculturalism and the death of nations, we bring back the traditions of old. While the Jacobins and socialists in the Senate bicker over just how quickly their leftist revolution should progress, support for the CMP is increasing among those who still believe in the time-honoured traditions and values of the Aurentine nation. God is on our side and our ultimate victory is inevitable. Vive la contre-révolution!

Monarchy

The Classical Monarchist Party does not believe in the arbitrary rule of one person. However, neither do we believe that the Senate, controlled by disproportionately represented left-wing liberal and far-left authoritarian groups, should have absolute control over our nation. We believe in restoring the monarchical system to Aurentina, with a King who is not absolute, but not entirely ceremonial; restricted by law and custom, but not restrained by the Senate and thus able to act as a non-partisan, non-elected balance to the Senate's power, as an example of moral conduct and as a figure of unity for our diverse society. Only under a monarchy can the rich cultural legacy of our nation and our traditional liberties be preserved.

Traditional Values

The CMP is a socially conservative party and would be regarded as such even several centuries prior. We regard faith, be it Islam, Christianity, Judaism or another of the faiths represented in our party and our country, and traditional practices as cornerstones of our cultural life. As traditionalists, we do not believe in subjective morality but instead believe that what was "right" centuries ago is still "right" today. While this has obvious implications for larger issues such as system of government and so on, it should also go without saying that we are steadfast in our opposition to social liberal ideas such as abortion and homosexual marriage. A traditionalist's morality is not swayed by the times in which he lives.

Immigration

Aurentina has a long history of immigration from different groups who have helped make us the nation we are today. However allowing anyone access to our country without regard for population limits or the effect on our existing way of life is irresponsible. While the CMP will not stoop to the base racism of some modern rightists, we do still reject multiculturalism in all its forms, instead preferring an interculturalist position demanding of immigrants that they "do as the Romans do" if they want to stay in our nation. To become an Aurentine citizen, an immigrant must accept our values and way of life, and be prepared to contribute to society, without necessarily abandoning their own traditions and identity taken from their homelands.

Cultural Affairs

The CMP believes that monarchy is the ideal system for forming a strong cultural sector in which the arts are elevated to the height of importance in government policy. Even now, in the meantime between democracy and the restoration of the monarchy, we will do all in our power to support the artists of our nation, and provide financial support to cultural institutions such as museums, theatres, art galleries and historic monuments. We take a firm stand against the degeneracy of some modern art to uphold the classicist legacy of our civilization, while appreciating the variety of cultural influences in our nation.

Foreign Affairs

The CMP is committed to flexibility on matters of foreign affairs, believing that the best interests of our nation must always be considered paramount. However our general foreign policy is one of armed neutrality, supporting a strong military as a deterrent to potentially hostile nations who may challenge the liberty of our people while being generally unwilling to interfere in the affairs of other nations or risk the lives of our loyal soldiers in other country's wars. We are committed to non-alignment and oppose all attempts by foreign nations to interfere in our own affairs, just as we respect the freedom of other countries from interference so long as they neither threaten our interests or act in gross violation of all normal standards of morality.

Economy

The CMP contains proponents of various economic systems, ranging from paternalistic corporatism to laissez-faire capitalism. The party, however, is generally in favour of a mercantilist economic system. We believe in protectionism, subsidizing exports while discouraging imports, centralizing currency decisions in the hands of the central government and achieving a favourable balance of trade. We are also united in our opposition to communism, while accepting the rights of labour to form unions and engage in collective negotiation with employers and the government, provided their actions are not disruptive.

Conservationism

The CMP recognizes the value of the environmental, as well as cultural, heritage of our nation and appreciates beauty simply for being beautiful. We also wish to preserve the dazzling biodiversity of our nation, and indeed our planet, for future generations. With this in mind the CMP strongly supports all efforts to prevent urban sprawl and conserve areas of outstanding natural beauty, and to protect endangered wildlife. We also believe in responsible environmental policies to curb pollution and promote sustainable energy sources, as well as recycling and reuse. We stand firmly against all "progress" and "development" that comes at the cost of our nation's environmental heritage and natural beauty, as well as the wildlife which we share our country with, just as we are against that which threatens the traditional culture, values and spiritual life of the Aurentine people.

Chairman Irredento Resigns

Our Party Chairman, Irredento, has resigned today due to feeling he is unable to dedicate his full time and energy to the Party cause. In his official statement to the party, Senator Irredento said, "I apologise that it has come to this, but I'm essentially stepping down for similiar reasons to our original Chairman and Founder [Old Tyrannia]." Deputy Chairman Diopolis has been appointed Acting Chairman and will lead the party during this transition. Nominations for our new chairman will begin today.

Chairman Irredento will be remembered for his work to establish the Stalhelm Alliance with the National Imperialist-Freedom Party and for establishing the Royalist Guard. He will remain an active member of the party as a senator.

4th May 2013

Royalist Guard March

The newly formed paramilitary arm of the Classical Monarchist Party, the Royalist Guard, will march past the headquarters of the far-left authoritarian United Socialist Labour Party at 3pm GMT today, in response to the"1st Festival of the Republic" organized by the Stalinists. This will be a joint operation with our counterparts from the National Imperialist-Freedom Party and is intended to show the left that Monarchism is alive and well in Aurentina. Party members are encouraged to join in with rallies and protests against the republic, and to show their support for monarchy- for God, King and Country!

Bodily Sovereignty Act

The Act currently going through the Senate Chamber, the Bodily Sovereignty Act, allows euthanasia as well as abortion at any stage in the pregnancy right up to the moment of birth. As such it is completely against the positions of the Classical Monarchist Party as outlined in our recently published manifesto. The CMP are thus enforcing a two-line whip against the Act, and all party members are expected to vote against it. If any member has a particularly pressing reason not to do so, please seek permission to abstain from the Party Chairman, Old Tyrannia, or Senior Whip, Irredento.

26th April 2013

Party Chairman Elections

Following Party Chairman and Lord President Old Tyrannia's formal resignation, elections for the next chairman of the Classical Monarchist Party will begin shortly. Any candidates interested in becoming leader of the Party are encouraged to state their candidacy in this thread. It should be noted that Senator Tyrannia will remain Lord President of the Party, and therefore the highest authority in the Party, responsible for appointing and dismissing the Chairman; the Chairman will, however, be responsible for day-to-day running of the party and be in charge of determining official policies and appointing people to other roles within the party.

Lord President Sen. Old Tyrannia wishes to thank the CMP for its support during this turbulent time as our party has struggled to find its feet; we have seen both successes and failures in the short time our party has existed but our history is only just beginning, and Sen. Old Tyrannia hopes to continue to serve the party for a long time to come as its honorary President.

National Head of State Bill Enters Senate Chamber

The Bill for the Establishment of a National Head of State enters the Senate Chamber today at 9:19 PM, GMT, after voting has concluded on the National Tax Act. Naturally all members are expected to vote in favour of the bill and a three-line whip will be enforced. Voting against the act may result in expulsion from the party.

21st April 2013

Bill for the Establishment of a National Head of State

Lord President Senator Tyrannia and Senator Finium have finished drafting the Classical Monarchist Party's official bill establishing the head of state of our great nation, which will likely soon be named "Aurentina". The bill is currently in the Senate coffee shop for discussion, and all members of the Classical Monarchist Party are encouraged to view it and voice their support here. We are now closer than ever to our great objective to make our newborn nation a monarchy! Long live the King of the Aurentines!

Thank you also to Senator Hippostania who designed our party's magnificent new logo, and congratulations to Senators Vazdania and Finium, who have been appointed junior whips by Senior Whip Senator Irredento.

Finally, our party now has an official anthem that can be found here. Thanks to Senator Irredento for creating the video!

20th April 2013

Irredento appointed Senior Whip

Congratulations to Senator Irredento, who has been appointed Senior Whip of the Classical Monarchist Party. Party members interested in serving as junior whips are encouraged to contact Senator Irredento by telegram. The Senator may appoint up to three junior whips at the discretion of the Party Chairman. This represents another step towards becoming a well-organized and formidable force for conservatism and monarchism in the Senate- for God, King and Country!

National Tax Act

The National Tax Act is currently going through the Senate. The Classical Monarchist Party is enforcing a single-line whip requiring all members to vote in favour of this act, lest the Communist Party's alternative taxation bill, which threatens to cripple our economy with disproportionate taxes, is passed instead. As this is a single-line whip it is not compulsory to vote in favour, however official party policy is in favour of the act and all members are encouraged strongly to cast a "for" vote.

[Nationalist State of Knox]

Hello, Knox here, just popping in to say hello.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Old Tyrannia, I demand the title of Kurfürst von Preußen.

Also, I firmly insist you add a portrait of Frederick the Great to the OP. (First demand was in jest, second, not so much.)

[Vazdania]

Hello ^_^

[Diopolis]

Old Tyrannia, I demand the title of Kurfürst von Preußen.

Also, I firmly insist you add a portrait of Frederick the Great to the OP. (First demand was in jest, second, not so much.)

Adding Frederick the great? Good idea.

Adding Frederick the great? Good idea.

That's good from my perspective, considering my region is entirely based on Prussia.

[The Republic of Pantalleria]

Mr. Chairman, senators, and members of the Classical Monarchist Party, I am from The Progressive-Conservative Party, and I'm here discuss with you the possibility of your party agreeing with mine on taxes...

[Azurand]

And I demand the picture of Sultan Mehmed II.

Bur seriously, OT. It's glorious.

[Vietnam]

A picture of a Japanese or Chinese emperor would be nice, especially Chinese, considering all their past imperial glory.

~~~

[Old Tyrannia]

Louis XVI, Charles I and Nicholas II are all up there for a reason. They're all royal martyrs murdered by revolutionaries. I promise to put an image of Frederick the Great, along with a Chinese Emperor and an Ottoman Sultan (likely Suleyman the Magnificent rather than Mehmed II), in the next page to illustrate our manifesto.

Incidentally, I originally planned to put a picture of the Forbidden City in Beijing alongside Versailles in the 'Members' section, but decided to use an Ottoman palace instead to cater to our one Muslim member, Azurand. And because I've actually been there.

Elizabeth II will likely turn up at some point as well. After all, I'm a loyal British subject.

[Azurand]

You're right, Suleiman is better. Danke! ^_^

[The Republic of Pantalleria]

Right, so shall you consider my question, gentlemen?

[Diopolis]

Right, so shall you consider my question, gentlemen?

Do you have an official position on corporate taxes or just personal?

[The Republic of Pantalleria]

Right, so shall you consider my question, gentlemen?

Do you have an official position on corporate taxes or just personal?

Well, I'm proposing whether or not your party would agree with my party on our proposed tax policies.

[Diopolis]

Do you have an official position on corporate taxes or just personal?

Well, I'm proposing whether or not your party would agree with my party on our proposed tax policies.

Those being? Your platform says nothing about corporate taxes and gives only an outline of personal taxes.
But it is likely that members of our party will agree with members of your party on tax issues.

Yes we are still drafting, however we would like to know if you agree with them, so far?

I do- with a few reservations, however, I can't speak for other party members.

I see, well hopefully the Chairman of your party agrees with us as-well.

[Truziodis]

<<nods in respect for those in attendance>>

[Truziodis]

Mr. Chairman, senators, and members of the Classical Monarchist Party, I am from The Progressive-Conservative Party, and I'm here discuss with you the possibility of your party agreeing with mine on taxes...

That would, it seems, depend on your position on taxation, m'lord.

[Old Tyrannia]

I do- with a few reservations, however, I can't speak for other party members.

I see, well hopefully the Chairman of your party agrees with us as-well.

As Truziodis said, that would depend upon what your taxation policies actually are. However, as far as party policy is concerned, I plan to make all economic issues votes of conscience within the CMP, due to the wide divergence of policies in this respect (from distributism to mercantilism to neoliberalism to corporatism). Within reason, of course. For instance I would enforce a three-line whip requiring all party members to vote against a proposal to outlaw all private enterprise or something similarly ridiculous.

...can't we adopt some sort of moderate mercantilist position? I mean, Mercantilism is virtually the economic system of monarchal states. The only absolute monarchies existent in RL right now have Mercantilist economies, and Imperial Germany and Britain had Mercantilist-ish systems in place for quite a while. C'mon.
