The new platform of the Federalists doesn’t tell much of anything at first glance, after all it adopts a nondescript view of mostly how a federal society should run. It is in the implicit context at this point that truly matters. What is implied through this new platform is that the Federalist Party has, for the now, realized that they are a regional party only competitive in the South. Furthermore, the platform allows for plausible deniability since there is no presence in the other regions to account for the Feds being a supposed broad, centre-right party when they are clearly more rigid and extreme.
What is even more telling is the logical conclusion of this and recent buildups. More and more, the major Federalist and right leaning candidates on their slate have relied on Regionalist rhetoric and strategy; getting new recruits into the South mainly, espousing regionalistic jingoism that at times differs little from Neo-Confederatism, and at times seemingly acting in a way for the South’s best interest and not Atlasia. In a way not differing much from ethnic parties like the Inkatha Freedom Party of South Africa, the Federalists do only well in the Southern Region while doing poorly elsewhere. Also, in adopting this new platform, the Federalists are turning their membership outside of the region into de facto supporters of this claimed South, essentially creating a whole host of Copperheads and Border Ruffians in Lincoln and Fremont respectively. Interestingly enough, the only major consistent presence of the right is Independent Federalist and Parliamentarian ASV, who as an urban slicking Australian isn’t quite keen in adopting such an identity.
The Left must respond to these measures by clearly bucking this strategy. They cannot claim the South if they don’t hold it in any reasonable way. There must be a continuation of the 3-region strategy while also leaving such separation of powers toothless away from Nyman. I’m describing an end to most federal vestiges in Atlasia and a transition to a centralized, yet democratic system controlled by the working class.
Can you show any recent new recruit not from the South that was placed in the south?
