Bill: Political Bloc's
Details
Submitted by[?]: 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō)
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2578
Description[?]:
| Since the whole Political Bloc thing sort of fell apart originally, do to various things I figure it would be a good idea to form new political blocs. Now, since we have diverse parties, I think we could form three different blocs, but I suppose it may end up being only two. Anyways, obviously Bloc's need to be formed before anyone can join them, so if you have an idea for a bloc, post it, and anyone else who wants to join a bloc, post the details of it. Bloc's should have a clear ideology (you don't have to agree on everything, just some important things) and a decided upon name and color. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Until everyone decides otherwise I'm counting the parties and bloc's thusly; Sekowia Universalis (official) -ISP -USMC Rightist bloc (unofficial) -CP -AUP -NPP -AFFS Communist bloc (unofficial) -SCP Once everyone has set up blocs, or decided to not be in a bloc officially, please let me know so that we can have an official system. |

| Message | Well it's half for RP reasons, it makes the game more interesting and half for game mechanic reasons, like the members of each bloc support the main party of their bloc's candidacy for Tenno. |

| Message | Is the main party always the same? |
| Date | 07:01:37, May 02, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Depends on what the members of the bloc decide, the main party would most likely be the party that has the most seats though I suppose. |
| Date | 08:50:06, May 02, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | At least that's the method that would certainly serve the DSP's interests best. |
| Date | 17:23:14, May 02, 2008 CET | From | Anti-Federalists of Free Sekowo | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Isn't that what the game's about? Self-interest about progress for the country? |
| Date | 19:37:02, May 02, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Betterment of Sekowo is what we the representatives are suppose to strive for. Then again, like in real life, there are always political struggles and scandals. =) I don't like there always being a main party based on number of seats. I'd prefer a federal council with all parties represented and a rotation with everyone but game mechanics do not allow it. |
| Date | 00:33:33, May 03, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Well like I said, each bloc would decide who the main part was, I'm just saying what most people would base it on. I actually like the idea of a rotating main party in each bloc for each election. |
| Date | 03:29:24, May 05, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Ja. Rotation is best. How many blocs would there be? Three? Four? We only have 8 parties. Not much to work with. |
| Date | 05:23:51, May 05, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | I figure there would be three main blocs. Though now I'm thinking we may have two levels, one for the pro-empire parties, and one against empire, then the second set would be where the other ideologies come into play. |
| Date | 07:09:20, May 06, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Ja. Not sure if that will be balanced though. It seems there are pro-Imperial parties, pro-Imperial policy parties and anti-Imperial parties. |
| Date | 18:36:06, May 07, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Now that I've reverted back (even that short time provided some history), I suppose it's now pro-imperial policy and anti-imperialist in regards to that particular area. |

| Message | I'm IMF now :) |
| Date | 01:20:04, May 19, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | We don't like being called "rightist". |
| Date | 01:22:58, May 19, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Pending support from the other members of the Free Sekowo Coalition, we may consider ourselves a bloc. This would include all of those which you have placed under "rightists". |
| Date | 05:28:44, May 19, 2008 CET | From |  Imperial Pluralism Party | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | I don't think that the ISP knows about the FSC. Otherwise they would not have labeled us "unofficial." |
| Date | 05:50:18, May 19, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Political Bloc's |
| Message | Nope, no idea about that. |
