Considering there haven't been any comments, I take it that people don't have issues with the platform? I can't run a vote this weekend, as I'll be without solid internet access, but if another of the leaders would like to do so, they're welcome to it.

Sorry for the late comment, but I'm seeing no issue with the platform. Thanks for handling this MV, and apologies for leaving it all to you.

I should be able to hold a poll this weekend.

Do we vote on the platform as individual parties or as one coalition?

Parties ratify separately.

And both parties have in fact ratified the coalition and the platform, so it's all set! Would anyone be opposed to me making a new thread and OP, considering that our current OP is, uh, incapable of editing the post?

I'd say that would be sensible, aye.

Also, and I know this is opening up a can of worms, but do we want to establish some sort of coalition name beyond just the Labour-NWP Coalition?

That might be a good idea

Socialist Alliance? Red Greens? (throwback)

I can't say I particularly like either of those though.

Neither do I. May as well just leave it as is.

Alliance for ~~Aurentina~~ Elizia

I quite like the idea of naming it the Democratic Left, but I'm also awful at naming things.

We had a party called that once, I think.

Shhh, don't let Belmaria hear you, he'll start one of his elaborate plots to tear us down.

Meh, we can keep brainstorming I guess. We'll find a decent one eventually.

I prefer that to Socialist Alliance or Red Greens, but I'm still not a huge fan.

Belmaria isn't Chairman of the party anymore, he's probably leaving anyway.

I think Labour-NWP coalition works fine as a name tbh.

Kiripakatan, Pakatankiri, Kiri, or Pakatan if you want something local (meaning Left Alliance, Left Alliance, Left, and Alliance in Malay). Or perhaps Democratic _____ or Workers' _____, since those are shared principles.

I quite like the idea of using Malay, come to think of it.

Having not participated in Calaverde, that's definitely accidental plagiarism

What about Socialist Bloc? Left Bloc?

I'm not a fan of Bloc for coalitions, to be frank. It's more of a UN term to me. And socialist, well, maybe. I don't know if everyone in the Labour Party is a social democrat IC'ly, and even then some soc dems don't like being called socialists.

can confirm. i'm a social democrat and I don't consider myself to be a socialist.

e: We could copy a page from Croatia and call ourselves the People's Coalition.
