"Per von Hapsburg, that last speech you made in the campaign....that was a joke right?"

I see you didn't heed my suggestion to move AG below Finance.
Looks like we'll get the AG spot. Now we need a candidate for it.

OK. We have some decisions that need to be made.
Von Hapbsburg has apparently quit.
The PeL seems to have disappeared and haven't campaigned in days.
So, that leaves just us.
Are we still in or not?

I just got here! I hope the party doesn't fall apart. Would make my political career fairly short.
Admiral Tulp, still wearing his active-duty uniform and dark blue overcoat, walks into the ENP HQ with a quick, steady pace.
"Alright people, I'm back. I already suspected this from von Habsburg, the bloody traitor. I should have stopped him from gaining leadership and such but alas, what has happened has happened. Nothing we can do about that but damage control. As I see it we now have four options:
I: We merge with the PEL.
II: We disband the party and each finds his own way in or out politics.
III: We find ourselves a Presidential candidate among us. I doubt we'll get two tickets to the Cabinet.
IV: We retreat from the Executive battle and concentrate on the Assembly.
I'm personally inclined towards the fourth option. Times to short for a merger in my humble opinion. Anyway, I expect a standing in - the Admiral looks on his watch - ten hours."

I agree Per Tulp. Let's continue with our campaign for Assembly election.
After the election, if it proves viable, we'll consider a merger with the PEL.

"Alright, so it is decided, we stay out of the Executive and try to get us in the Assembly. Who will go to the debate? I'd like to personally but we shouldn't contradict eachother if we go with more then one. In other news, I'll give a speech apologising to the public and telling that we will not participate in the Executive."
Since we're not running a prez candidate...we should endorse one. I'm leaning towards Leary. What do you say?
I support that.
Alright, my welfare-reform idea. Tommorow I'll make a speech on this unless people start to object it.
There will be a corporation called the Unemployed Employmend Office.
The Government will purchase all things needed to run the Corporation. Buildings, computers and such. Then it will outsource it. Every company is allowed to bid in. Prestation contracts will be signed.
The basis of the idea is that if there is work, people should do it or they shouldn't get any welfare.
If someone get's fired, he or she should inscribe him/herself at the UEO. Companies are to report any job offers at the UEO. The job offers and the inscriptions are coupled where possible and the unemployed should go to the job interviews. Someone can turn down the job offers but then their welfare is cut half. However, and here is the best part in my opinion, for the first three months someone works through the UEO that person get's the full benefits he'd get without a job. This is to discourage illegal work. After three monts the benefits are cut by 10% every month. So what happens, people that would otherwise be unemployed and on the dole would work. So income is generated which means more purchases and such."

Seems we are likely to be on the short end of power this election. 
mostly for internal reasons, poor line-up and uncertainty of the future of our party leta lone the nation. Going to need to have a firm base for next election, the worst of it is the right had a chance to control this election.

I agree Per Asre. The Traitor left us at a poor moment, halfway through our campaign, and after he submitted our Party List to the CRO.
I suggest we soldier on, and see what next term awaits us, and if a merger with the PEL is worthwhile.
Meanwhile vote...

"Gentlepers, the key-word is survival. If we survive this election then we survive and can rise again, one way or the other. While we are at it, if anybody could make a speech that would be splendid. Per Asre maybe?"
One issue that has come up in the debate is New Bengal.
How do you think we should respond? I said that we have a duty to protect innoncent Bengalese from oppression by the Tilapians, even if it requires a military adventure of some sort.

Problem is that we haven't got many options. The military card is a very.....wildcard so to speak. We can't do it ourselves, we would need allies. Allies we don't have I'm afraid.
