Oh god no, Alexism is spreading like wildfire
. It looks like the Reichsfront has lost it's pole position for the elections. Some smart inter-party politics will be needed to stop this election from being dominated by the right-radical side
Anyhow, important notice to all party members

Issues facing the administration in the March 1936 elections:
- Universal suffrage
As of late, feminist movements have stepped up their actions to gain voting rights for women. It is now the question of the next government if it wishes to include women in the 1939 elections.
- Military doctrine
For the past two years, opposition parties have increasingly stressed the importance of a renewal in German military theory, claiming that Germany’s true strength lied in her inventiveness. They are opposed by the conservative veterans from the Weltkrieg, who believe upholding the current doctrine of Decisive Battle and Infantry-Based Warfare is best for the country. The military doctrine debate will prove to be a crucial point in the next elections.
- Mitteleuropean Policy
With the Mitteleuropa summit approaching in April, the next government will have to decide if it wishes to pursue an isolationist or expansive policy towards her neighbours. Some parties claim that countries like Hungary, Finland and South-Africa would make great allies to Mitteleuropa and should be held close through diplomatic ties, while others insist that Mitteleuropa should remain a closed European alliance, to prevent Germany from having to take a too agressive role on the world stage
- Relations with the Syndicalists
Many leftist parties seek reconciliation with the Syndicalists, and France, Italy and the UoB have already expressed their support for the German Syndicalist Union. Including the Syndicalists in a coalition government might both retain Germany’s democracy and restore the relations with the syndicalist states to the West, seriously relieving the international pressure.
- German territorial claims
Many World War One veterans in opposition believe Germany remained much too moderate at the end of the Weltkrieg, resulting in our weakened position today. With Austria-Hungary to the South collapsing, many parties in both countries, the most important of which known as the NSDAP, are calling for a reunification, or ‘Anschluss’ with the Austrians and Bohemia. More radical elements even claim Germany has rights to annex an Ostland out of our current allies, to finally create a Greater German Empire capable of keeping world peace and restoring the Pax Germania. These elements also stress German claims on Switzerland, straining our relations with the small country. The national-radical parties are on the rise in the polls, and if a radical-right coalition was to take control, this would seriously effect the foreign policy of the country.
- Pacifism/Realpolitik/Jingoism/Reactionism
Many opposition parties have called for the abolishment of Realpolitik, the political theory that led to the unification of our country and her victory in the Weltkrieg, stating that the modern world requires a new state of mind for the Parliament. The debate has been pending between the Reactionary Democrats, who believe force is needed to spread democracy over the world, the conservatives who keep to Realpolitik, Pacifism and diplomacy upheld by most of the leftists, and militaristic Jingoism porposed by the radical-Right, who believe Germany must use force to assert her dominance over Europe, and finally, the world.
