Pre-Election of 1864

National Liberal Party
Prime Ministerial Candidate: Ōshiro Kazuki
Competing Nationally
Policies: Free Trade/Interventionism/Jingoism/Pluralism/Limited Citizenship

Founded by prominent Imperialists who fought on the side of the Emperor in the Boshin War, the National Liberal Party is a pro-business, pro-industrialization, and pro-military party. It strongly supports the Emperor as the Son of Amaterasu and the unitary system of government established in Japan. The National Liberal Party also supports the furthering of Japanese glory through the establishment of a strong military. It eventually seeks to spread Japanese influence to other parts of Asia and see it rise to the ranks of one of the greatest powers in the world, on par with the most powerful nations in the Western world.

I feel there is no need to call this matter to a vote; Uesugi Narinori has been a nobleman his entire life, and as such his wealth and prestige warrant his ennobling in the peerage regardless of what we here in the Privy Council believe or mandate.
