After 2 straight years of near-uninterrupted success, and setting a record for most consecutive presidential election wins, should the Labor Party continue as a party or dissolve itself?

No, Labor's dominance is nothing compared to the JCP dominance, and with hindsight, I wouldn't have supported dissolution then either, the idea of successful parties dissolving is just absurd. You never hear talk IRL of parties dissolving if they win elections.

Maybe. I'd prefer a joint dissolution if we have to do it.

I think a splintered, multi-party game is healthier, but with RL polarization and the lack of tension within at least the Labor party room (don't know if it is the same for the Federalists), I feel like everyone would end up in de facto reincarnations of their current parties.

IRL isn't a game.
No, Labor's dominance is nothing compared to the JCP dominance
Here are all elections that the JCP won since the start of the JCP vs. RPP party system:

June 09: Lief/BK 50%
October 09: Lief/BK 55%
June 10: Purple State/Marokai Blue1 62%
October 10: Fritz/Kalwejt 53%
June 11: Polnut/BK 66%
October 11: Snowguy/BK 51%

Average win percentage: 56.1%

1. Purple State was aligned with the JCP

Here are all elections that Labor won since Labor Day 2018:

October 18: WB/MB 51%
June 19: Adam Griffin/Jimmy 52%
October 19: Adam Griffin/Pericles 66%
February 20: Pericles/Peanut 62%
June 20: Pericles/Sestak 66%
October 20: MB/Ted Bessell 56%
February 21: Windjammer/Sestak 51%

Average win percentage: 57.7%

Is that when you're predicting that Labor will lose?

Depends on what specific problem you are trying to solve but I’ve been pretty consistent that dissolving the duopoly won’t destroy the dupoly for over a year now.

Perhaps the ""solution"" might be to unironically adopt a "the parties switched philosophy, with Labor now being the conservative party and the Federalists the left wing one Tongue

If anything we might as well on the Fed side just do everything in our power and ability to make the game as miserable as possible for the Labor Party since the game is pretty much dead to us outside of my Glorious South. We don't owe you all any feelings of shame. We might as well keep on offsite recruiting and damn the consequences.

If anything your government will have to get removed in June for you to have anything to try in October. Wink I mean you're not really smart and are just given a career in exchange for being a loyal little shill. I remember when you used to vote for me!

The Federalist Party just keeps working gotv and recruitment with barely anything to show for it. Only Labor needs to dissolve for the good of the game. When the Feds once got the upper hand in late 2017/early 2018 it was soooooo much easier for the left to win some important things again with much less meaningful opposition needed to forment against the Feds.

Just as a hypothetical, what do people think would happen if Labor dissolved?

It is so nice of LT to let us all live rent-free in his head amidst the current housing crisis. Perhaps one day he will have the emotional discipline to lob some genuinely cutting insults, instead of embarrassing himself and his party when they lose their 50th straight election.

I am at peace with the world! You will never be a good partisan until you can banish your emotions.
