The Westminster System - A British Interactive AAR

[LordTempest]

How's that chessgame of yours going?

Rather well actually, though still one always regrets having to resort to plan b.

((It's this new fancy faction system. Read all about it in the introduction. Did you vote, btw?))

Vote? I'm a reactionary. We don't vote.

I'm just observing, discovered this a few days ago.

If I'm disturbing something I'll stop.

 

[LordTempest]

Looks like we are going to have a PM Macmillan. One Nation in 10 Downing St.

He won't be there for long, judging from the stark difference in support between the two factions.

You really should vote. It's the whole point of the AAR that readers vote.

Just to annoy the Rightists Actually my IRL political views are pretty similar to One Nation Conservatism.

Tory, One Nation Conservative

No to PR

Well, coincidentally, we have this VERY reactionary new faction among the Tory party, it's called "the Rightists"...
We would honestly all very much appreciate Your support.
Neo-feudalists, traditionalists, imperialists, even a few authoritarian fellows among our ranks, I think you would fit right in.


((EDIT: You should probably also BOLD your vote.))

 

[LordTempest]

If it's still open then, One Nation Conservative, and if not but it's still a faction next time, then okay.

If you intend that to be a vote, please bold it like so.

Your vote here

We will see. Conservative Party may have to split. Between the traditional conservatives and the rightest BNP types who have no place in my Conservative Party.

Also don't forget to vote on the referendum on if the Westminster System of voting should be abandoned in favor of a system more aligned with proportional representation. Most Tories have, thus far, voted no.

Well, you have been MOST helpful for our great cause, friend. ...Unintentionally, maybe, but still.

Thank you, it's much easier to count the votes that way!

Powell wouldn't be caught dead in the BNP.

Yes. I have to remember Powell is the leader not Contra

((Easy to forget, eh?
Also, I'm not that fond of BNP, either.
Little too much of a "suit and tie"-kind of populism for my taste.))

Actually, amusingly enough, if the Rightists did, for some reason, split from the One Nation Conservatives, and managed to loop the Nat Libs in, they'd hold a stronger majority than the combined Conservative factions alone. Also, the One Nation Conservatives would almost automatically dissipate, having only three votes thus far, and therefore being just above 5% of the vote. Barely.

This is basically what the Thatcherites want to do.

I see no reason why the Tories would split, though. Rightists are not a centralized faction, it's just a bunch of old Tories who are not fond of One Nation anymore. Powell is the only unifing figure there.

They are not splitting during this election. In a future election where things might be different. One nation and Yellow liberals ally. Orange libs and Labour ally.

((Because they could spell the death of One Nation Conservatism. Surely the ruthless Kaiserpapen could appreciate the knife-in-the-back the Rightists could give their left-leaning party members ))

:rofl:

Things are looking better for the ONTs than it appears.

 

[NikephorosSonar]

I'll stick to the Tories as long as they are a party, but I'll be darned if I'm not going to support a faction I prefer.
