Hoping Franzl will start to surge. I expect him to do very well with MCPR. Overall, he should get very good preferencing from our region, which has a decent chunk outstanding.

Good work!

I'd be very surprised if the Whigs got in Hagrid over Clarence - no offense to Hagrid, just taking seniority into account.

    If Labor and Liberal are supposed to blindly back each other, then what purpose did the party split even serve? At least the duopoly of JCP and RPP was more honest about its state of affairs.

The thing I find ironic is, the Labor Party seems to be to the left of the Liberals ideological-wise. So if anything, you'd think it'd be the Liberals working with the Whigs, not the Labor. This is certainly a...awkward turn of events I've never really seen in Atlasia.

I miss the RPP

Agreed

I always believed that the Liberal and Labor parties could work best together to achieve common goals and focus on the issues that unite the parties, not separate themselves from each other, because of the fact that they're fairly similar.  In my opinion, the Whig Party is more socially conservative/fiscally populist (or at least, that's what I believe it was intended to be at the time of its founding), so there's less common ground between the Liberals and Whigs than between the Liberals and Labors.

I completely agree - I'm just saying, if one of the parties were to get in an alliance with the Whig's, logic would make you think it'd be the Liberals, just based off political beliefs. You'd also think the Whigs would be more reluctant to align with the Labor as they're so differently politically, but some seem to be OK with it, surprisingly.

Franzl didn't win? Dang...

Oh well, we tried.
