I did intend on letting users pick party leaders first, yes, but I want to allow some time for people to register. I don't think it violates the spirit of the game to allow multiple people to join parties and act as campaign surrogates. In fact, campaign coordination is something that I would account for when evaluating overall campaign quality. (And just for the record here, if you think I'm incapable of being impartial, Spiral can tell you all about how David Duke managed to make Bush Sr. ragequit in '92. Wink)

I also should've mentioned that I assumed we were doing away with the Senate, which I think makes more sense. Perhaps at some point a House of Lords can be added, but it shouldn't function like the Senate. And if we do have an upper-house, it should be presumed to be far less powerful than Parliament as is the case in most countries with this system, and probably just an appointed advisory commission. If that. But going unicameral makes the game easier for the short term, anyway.

Sounds good. I agree unicameral is easier for now.

Edit: What if we keep a Canadian style Senate but keep it entirely NPC filled, and allow players to participate only in the House of Commons?

Yeah, I'm fine with that actually.
