Sure, I'll make the first post in 10 days.

I've resigned from the Federation of Free States, thanks for having me.

I've gone over to the Aretian Democratic Party. I'll still watch over the BLG. Currently we are waiting for some kind of ruling on off-shore resources. If it's a go, let me know.

I am hereby resigning from the faction.

Well it would seem that many the active members have left the Federation.

For the course of the 5th PF elections, I have joined with civplayah in voting for Let Freedom Ring, and as sub-in for an inactive G-G, it is my intention to led the Federation to a vote for the faction.

I have been in contact with civplayah, and he has promised a needed amendment (in my opinion) that will allow gameplay votes to function almost exactly how the ADP functions in gameplay, but with insurance for unproposed measures. The full text with civplayah can be found below.

Please speak now or forever hold your peace.

As highest active player of the Federation, I turn to you. 1889's ideologies are too modernized. I mean, he cuts out the state represenative system. He also wants to cut out the States General Assembly Hall. What do you think we form an alliance (which right now would entail you and most of all the Federation members voting for the LFR). Just dropping it by you. Please consider this, and no rush to answer.

Civplayah,

Thank you for your message and your open attitude toward the previous regime. I cannot secure the vote of all my faction members, but I certainly can market it.

Let me also make it clear that upon election, I will be personally leaving service from the Federation in order to take up membership in one of the two competing factions. This (along with the simple suffrage movement) will most certainly dissolve the Federation.

That begin said, let me ask of you some conditions.

I view the ADP and LFR as two sides of a balance of democratic ideals. What I want to pursue by making these preconditions is a moderate balance between an democratic establishment (LFR) and an democratic anarchy (ADP).

In the ADP, 1889 states that, "All game play decisions will be decided by majority vote of all citizens of Aretania. " I quite appreciate this idea, but it leaves room for undecided gameplans to be left up to a turnplayer. I think this can be solved by adopting this rule, with the exception that all unresolved gameplans are made by a cabinet of the President and his advisors, all representing (yes I said representing) the populace in a moments notice. Decisions made by the cabinet would be majority vote by the cabinet or simply through the president (I prefer the previous.)

Please note that the above does not mean that citizens will be included in a representative form of government, it is just a plan of action in a time of need, and is also not properly planned completely.

I would also like to see the States/Estates General Assembly hall be kept and used as a discussion palace for all of "the people" but still somewhat tied together by the president. This is, however, not a precondition.

I agree to your terms, but I would like you to elaborate on the bolded statement.

Mainly, I would like to see the people's rights preserved. The ADP does this in a radical way, but establishment is completely ruled out. It is not my intention for the government to be completely ruled out, bu I do believe that it should govern as little as possible.

As your party is democratic, I see no problems, but the same goes for the ADP.

Anyways, I will present the ideas of this election alliance with the remaining members of the Federation.
