Bah. The Westminster System is wonderfully unique but I still believe in voting in character

In an AAR with minimum role playing?
Honestly, I don't think the referendum should be done "in character" seeing as it affects the actual framework of the AAR and not just how Tommy plays the next five years in the game. Normally, I'd probably agree that some form of voting reform is necessary, but here it would takes out a lot of the interest for me.
What's with people being obsessed with only one particular faction achieving power? Don't they realise its just an AAR?
I will vote No to the referendum, and wait a little more for the rest: I do hesitate between my usual Liberal (in this case Yellow) and an NLP vote, which would both please Enewald, the army & navy's spending and put the party above the 10% threshold.
I'm thinking that for story purpose a Tory-led gov would perhaps be more interesting, that's the prime reason.

Oh please please me.
If you vote Tory, they gain little, meanwhile a vote for NLP gives them much more marginal utility.

The Tories are in a position to form a government; the NLP are in a position to stop them.
Tanzhang has the right of it as far as I can see, in a way. The Nat Libs have noted that they will refuse to be part of any government that does not adopt their economic policies. While the Rightists have a healthy majority of the Tories, it will still be a One Nation Conservative government that is formed, according to an earlier post by Tommy (if memory serves), which has an internal policy that is unacceptable to the Nat Libs. Thus, they will remain out of the government. A vote for the Nat Libs weakens the Tory government, unless the Rightists pull a coup, which will not happen immediately, if at all. Even if they couped the One Nation Conservatives, I'm unsure if the Rightists need to compromise with the Nat Libs to form a government.

You should vote for the Liberals. It looks like the Tories are going to win anyway but the Liberals need as many votes as we can get in order to be able to form a sizeable and effective opposition.

And this is why politicians hate voters. You never do what you should do.
*storms off in a huff*
If it helps, in all likelihood I won't be voting for another six years yet, so you've got nothing to hate me for.
Only Commies want PR. Are you a Commie, Tanzhang?
Bah! A real communist would see a referendum on the electoral system to be irrelevant to the ongoing class struggle.
Hm! You seem to understand the base, violent Communist mind very well! Highly suspect, Mr. Tanzhang, highly suspect indeed! Are you certain you are not a Commie?

But if you understand that I understand it, then surely you too understand the base, violent Communist mind very well! Highly suspect indeed.
