Blood and Iron - An Interactive Prussian AAR

[Tommy4ever]

Just did a total recount and got the same results all the way through with polls and with my recorded result, so pretty confident these are the right ones:

DZP: 14
DFP: 8
NLP: 7
DKRP: 5
SPD: 7 (3.5)

Total vote: 41

With these results a DZP-DKRP coalition would have a majority of just 3 (yes 3!!) members of the Reichstag, although the fact the socialists are hardly going to be working with the liberals in opposition strengthens any small majority in this situation. One vote for any party other than the DZP or DKRP would change the situation.

I hope another liberal won't stumble upon this AAR, then.

Or more socialists, we have enough socialist dominated AARs :I More conservatives on the other hand... ;P

Well, still didn´t vote myself. I was keen to give my vote to the Centrists, but now I got curious - what would possibly happen if the vote goes to let's say DFP. What coalition would be expected then?

One vote for either liberal party would make the DZP-DKRP alliance untenable meaning we'd have to have a DZP-DFP alliance. Other people have already mentioned that this would probably be rather unstable with the two having a very different outlook on internal policy. But even if you voted for the DFP, it would only take one more vote for the Centre or Conservatives to give that coalition a majority. So, as they say, its on a knife edge!

In any case, the AAR would get a lot more interesting if you did that.

Because of course, a coalition between the Catholics who want to repeal the Kulturkampf and the anti-Socialist laws and Le Bismarque, who was responsible for introducing both policies in the first place, would be all sunshine, rainbows and roses...

Well, it wouldn't be the most comfortable alliance for sure - but there is much more common ground in their current policies than between the liberals and the Centre. Even if there is a lot of bad blood. So neither alliance is going to be the most comfortable.

And an interesting AAR is what I am seeking for. You intrigued me - therefore this time I vote for the DFP.

It's a good time to be a moderate.

It's a good time to be a moderate.

It won't be when the full ramifications of Zentrumpolitik (*cough* those policies pertaining to the repeal of certain ideology laws *cough*) are realised in the coming updates.

I said it was a good time to be a moderate now, not necessarily later on.
Perhaps Tommy4ever will be kind on us though, and make our beloved Zentrumspartei surrender its coughed up policylaws in the coalition.

No you didn't.

So clearly, what's best for Germany is a broad liberal, anti-socialist coalition consisting of the DFP and NLP as partners in some shape or form to tone down the excesses of Zentrum's reactionary policy.

 

[Khalep]

Not explicitly no, but oh heck, lets just leave it at that.

And no, the liberals will break down Germany with Kulturkampf. What is needed is a coalition led by the Centre, to stabilize Germany and create enduring progress.
Personally I don't really mind whichever junior partner is elected to this government. The Kulturkampf is central to Central policy in my mind. All other things are negotiable, though it would clearly serve truth and justice best if all of our plans were put into practice.

I think it's pretty obvious at this stage (and for some time) that a coalition of any sort will be led by Zentrum, unless there is a late surge for the DFP (which to be fair, has happened in elections before.) The key for liberal-minded Germans is for the DFP and NLP to win enough votes to force Zentrum into giving up most of their radical and extreme policies which pushing forth a sensible colonial policy which includes a German Madagascar.

though it would clearly serve truth and justice best if all of our plans were put into practice.

I'll be sure to remind you of that statement once unfathomable numbers of Russian emigre revolutionaries (and possibly, a mild-mannered lawyer from Walthamstow as well) start waltzing into the numerous salons and beer halls of Berlin, only to find that only a few hours after their arrival, they have all been made members of the German Cabinet!

''Once again the Jacobins (so called liberals) are fighting amongst themselves, this is just perfect. the DKRP still stands strong, but alas with their revolutionary and lies the liberals have seemed to sway most of the voters. It truly is a sad day.'' Some Rp text from a rp conservative perspective, ;P

This election sure will be interesting, though whatever happens, I'm okay with it as long as the damn SDP doesn't have a massive surge of votes.

 

[Zorro]

I vote DFP

 

[unmerged(211960)]

I vote DFP

haha that's awesome.

Can a third party do a recount? I was fairly certain my poll was right, and it matched up with all other polls. This is an important election, and three heads is always better than two.
