((Sorry, Herr Smithereens, but I'm comfortable as an Imperialist. However, if you would like to join the Imperialists, new members are always welcome and appreciated))

((I would encourage everybody interested in his party to PM him directly. Please don't refer to the campaign in-thread, as it may create spam.))

In one of the most lopsided votes in the history of the Republic, Herr von Smithereens's bill to create a Federal Security Department has failed, without even a single "Yes" vote.

This session of the Reichstag is now closed. Thank you all for your time. We will next meet after the General Election of 1898.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

The election of 1898

As Reichspräsident Eva von Vandenburg quietly took the oath of office, many Germans were unsure whether to applaud or boo. True, she was the first woman to hold the prestigious office. She had largely been a voice of moderation among her Imperialist colleagues and indicated she would work to make a more inclusive government for Germany. However, the Imperialists had always polled badly in major elections, mostly because dynamic politicians like Vandenburg weren't really seen as the face of the Imperialists; that distinction went to Otto IX von Altmark, as likely to be napping in the back of the Reichstag as contributing to political discussion. He rejected everything and even hurled fish and/or aides when the mood took him.

She shook hands with another troubled individual, Chancellor HF Gutfreund. He knew that, no matter what, he would not serve as Chancellor again. Given that the margin of victory was a single vote, he blamed his Ministry of the Interior, Axel Wouters, for falling short. Wouters chose to abstain rather than serve as interim Chancellor, something Gutfreund never forgot. When a group of French radicals rose up, demanding regional autonomy, the Chancellor wasted no time in undercutting Wouters. He purposefully delayed meeting with Wouters and refused to see the Commander of the Gendarmerie, Johannes Carile, at all. Local army commanders took care of the uprising, but the damage was done. Gutfreund spent most of the rest of his tenure in office politicking against the Socialists that he once supported. He issued one of his bitterest addresses on the occasion of the arrest of a socialist agitator in Magdeburg, calling the DSU "Communists without the courage to admit it" and accusing them of "fomenting rebellion at any cost." To the average German, these words had little impact, but to some in the Reichstag, it inspired outrage and dissatisfaction.

Another party in flux was the Conservatives, as the distinguished Karl Adimari, ex-President of Italy, resigned as party leader in favor of Hubert Schaumburg, the Foreign Minister. Schaumburg continued to press an aggressive foreign agenda, verbally attacking the Byzantine Empire and Chagatai, respectively, for their encroachment on the lands of Morea and Yemen. He sent a nasty diplomatic note to the British after hearing that they had absorbed Ireland into their Empire. He gloried in the new, more powerful, battle fleet that Germany could put to sea in the near future with the announcement of the Minister of Education, Walter Herwig, that new bases could be opened with the proper support from the government. Schaumburg's railing against the "enemies of Germany, within and without" finally convinced the Chancellor that the DSU was no real threat; the Conservatives were. Gutfreund began personally endorsing DLP members in areas that were predominantly conservative, and the DSU did the same. The clearest example of the restored friendship was the invitation of Axel Wouters and Franz von Bavel-Timmermans to the Chancellor's mansion to greet the victorious German athletes, returning from the Olympics.

As polling places began to open in July 1898, two issues dominated the conversation: unemployment and the German colonies in the Philippines. The Philippines were a sore subject; the Ministry of War, led by Konrad von Schwaben, eagerly accepted Filipino natives into German army while the Ministry of Education denied Filipinos funding for local schools that would not teach German, using the savings to sponsor a country-wide railroad construction program. There were no Filipinos in the Reichstag; the Detweiler family, now into its third generation with Abelard Detweiler, handed the Governor-General's office down like a family heirloom. Detweiler was extremely popular in Germany, winning a silver medal in the free rifle event, but not so in the Philippines, where his cruelty was far more legendary than his athleticism.

Unemployment, however, was the most serious issue in several districts. In Germany as a whole, over 1.63 million people joined to campaign for higher unemployment benefits. The issue of unemployment gained more coverage as two pilots, Samuel Recht and Johannes Langweiler, announced a partnership to build airplanes throughout Germany, and to do so at "worker-friendly" plants where each individual employee owned 1% of the company. Conservative newspapers smeared the German inventors as "English gentlemen," going so far as to intentionally Anglicize their names to create the illusion that they weren't good Germans. "Wright and Langley's Airplanes" were nonetheless popular, and the Hohenzollerns saw their value almost immediately. Konrad Friedrich von Hohenzollern, Chief of the General Staff, ordered ten for his personal staff as a way to get around the country quickly.

As the worker-friendly factories cranked out airplanes, many plutocrats complained loudly and often about the examples the two inventors were setting. A group of capitalists started systematically closing factories as a way to demonstrate their power, but it backfired: instead of slowing the pace of reform, it accelerated it, as the unemployed laborers cursed the injustice and joined picket lines at other factories. A letter campaign reached the Chancellor's office, who was unsure what to do. He did not wish to abandon his friendship with Axel Wouters, but as a good Liberal, he prefered that the free market set prices and government policy. While the DSU called for a new round of unemployment subsidies, the Bundespartei instead won considerable ground for a new program of government interventionism to reopen the factories. The Conservatives tried to capitalize the issue as well, arguing for a larger military and aggressive diplomatic strategies to improve Germany's foreign trade, by violence if necessary. The Conservative platform was widely derided as "blood for gold," making Hubert Schaumburg look like quite the fool.

Despite loud and occasionally violent rhetoric, the 1898 election was one of the calmest in years. There was no street violence. There were no arrests or martyrs demanding the attention of the public. Germans simply went to their polling places, filled in their ballots, and went home. It was quiet and orderly, as befit a people tired of war and bloodshed for no purpose. Eva von Vandenburg did her part, using her connections in the Imperialists to tone down their usually aggressive attitudes at polling places. Hubert Schaumburg tried to pick up the slack, and it destroyed his party's chances of leading a coalition and his chances of becoming Chancellor.

The Bundespartei, by virtue of their ability to argue for the preeminence of interventionism, were the biggest winners in the 1898 election, while the Conservatives lost the most, as the diagrams below demonstrate:

Party leaders should now begin negotiating a coalition deal. As soon as that is complete and the President confirms the coalition, we will proceed to accept new legislation.

((New character time!))

Name: Friedrich Gerulf
Party: Deutsch Soziale Union
Age: 32 (born 1866)
Birthplace: Straßburg
Member of the Conclave

Born "Frédéric Géroux". Youngest son to a family of wealthy francophone bureaucrats.

Part of a new generation of more moderate socialists, pushing a bit less for violent confiscation of the means of production and a bit more for unemployment subsidies and welfare-state reform.

Supports the Bundespartei's ideas on federalisation and decentralisation of government (though not economics or military policy). Doesn't see why Italy should get all the attention; is in favour of giving the rest of the Republic federal parliaments too. Maybe equal thirds from west to east; Lotharingian / Saxon / Bohemian Parliaments?

[Imperialist leader]

((If you learned to look at the player roster on the first page of the thread, you'd see that Otto IX von Altmark is the party leader. Also, Germany has no nobility because it's not a monarchy. There are titular pompous arseholes who claim to be nobility, but they're not taken very seriously. :p))

((What was the deal with Ireland? Did they declare their independence from Britain but get accepted back as a puppet?))

Meningen was uneasy about his party's electoral success. Most of the party were believers in intervention and this helped them secure many votes as factory after factory closed. However, he was a staunch believer in laissez-faire economics and so he stayed quiet. It wasn't like the Liberal-Conservative-Socialist alliance was coherent on economics, after all. Instead, Meningen made many speeches about the need for regional autonomy, unemployment subsidies, and military preparedness. He blasted Gutreund for economic "incompetence" and the suppression of minorities to rousing applause in Bundespartei strongholds.
