Elections resolution in Landsraad
VU up everywhere
N&H down everywhere

This resolution, currently in its debate stage, makes the VU look like the good guys – good way of making voters forget the problems of the IDP to register in the Northern Realm, and the N&H as the bad guys because they're seen to oppose fairness in elections.

N&H Press Officer: The N&H rejects that representation as being wholly false. Our concerns are that a badly worded resolution, introduced on the fly by the opportunistic and hypocritical VU delegation - aided and abetted by their collaborators in the AIP we sadly note - would afford loopholes to the benefit of the VU. We remain in favour of a structured and rigorous electoral reform bill, but for the time being our delegation in the Landsraad has proposed a revised text to the resolution which will address our concerns by creating an impartial Electoral Commission independent of any government agency or political faction.

Election rules drama in Landsraad

VU/SPAM down a lot in Modan, less so elsewhere, as they now seem as opportunists in the media, "faux democrats". N&H up in Modan, sudden new democrats, even hip among the cool ones. N&H also up, but less so, elsewhere.

Titus Morvayne, at an Amokolia rally:

The Imperial Dominions, to Verionists, are as important as the states. In fact, they may even be more important because it is in the dominions that the unity of our nation is expressed most profoundly. Verionism has always stood for a strong Shireroth, where Imperial States do not determine what happens to the entire country. We see worrying developments in the Imperial States, where local leaders actively undermine the rights of their citizens to stand for elections. The Verionist Union fights against this. We fought against it in the Landsraad, we fought against it in the Great North, and we managed to make progress there. It was our party leader, Stephen Lewis (give him a round of applause folks! Yes!) who pressured the Queen to allow the IDP, one of our competitors, to participate. What's important is that we cannot do this for short-term political gain, but we want structural change. We have acted against our own interests, because that is what people who have the interest of the nation in mind do. Unfortunately, not all parties support this. The N&H party is the most dominating force supporting dictatorship today. The Prince of Modan does anything to undermine our party, but also others who stand up for liberty and peace. In all fields of life, they suppress progress made. We cannot tolerate this. One party can stop this course, and that party is the Verionist Union, we fight for you, for all of you!

Such uninteresting parties, shame that none of Shireroth's main ideologies are represented.

VU up a lot! N&H down.

Explained ideology and made you look like the good guys. You may Verionism work even with uncomfortable partners. This makes you look statesmanship-like!

  1. The Prince of Modan has begun a "Great Tour" of Amokolia, seeking to address concerns and shore up representation there. Leaflets were freely distributed.
  2. The following full page advert appears on the front page of the Daily Mail & Telegraph of Eliria, the Shirekeep Gazette, and the Shirekeep Sentinel. The Sentinel provided additional coverage with witness accounts of the depredations carried out on Amity by gangs of youth linked by dubious paternity to Villiam al-Basani and who enjoyed the protection of the Iron Company whilst it ruled illegally in Erudition. The Shirekeep Gazette focused on an examination of the finances and murky business history of Theodor Buch combined with commentary on the heavily implied convenience that a beneficiary of Iron Company loans should suddenly stand up a political party of his own volition when the Verionist Union found itself subject to the attentions of the inquisition. The Daily Mail & Telegraph poured scorn meanwhile on the alleged "family feud" in the House of Verion over the ambiguous paternity of the "Queen in the North", Eki Verion.

Dirty! Well done. You've successfully discredited the Verionists for a proportion of voters across the Imperial Republic. VU down everywhere.

The tour of Mishalan is a superb piece, and has established you as the biggest party in Amokolia. The Prince of Peace sobriquet, never ever used on an Ardy, is proving effective in rallying the masses too tired of war and strife.

1. VU further down in Eliria, Shirekeep, Amity and Amokolia.

2. N&H up considerably in Amokolia and Amity.

The Steward and the Traitor
Very effective piece – perfectly tailored for the conservative homo-skeptical majority (need I remind you that gay marriage is banned for non-nobles?). Also effective against liberals who don't mind the gay, but deeply skeptical of Vanicism. I particularly enjoyed the juxtaposition of "Steward and the Traitor", the emphasis on "inseparable", "sexual", and the alliterative "Sack the Steward, save the Nation" (I kinda wish Nation would have been a word begining with an s-sound, ah well.). The pictures are very effective too. AJ as a shirtless sexual predator (like a Vanic is expected to be), the Steward in a mugshot, etc...

VU up considerably everywhere! IDP down the same everywhere!

N&H Press Officer: Anyone with a grasp of chronology will recall that it was the Cimmerians who first started tampering with the electoral process by introducing restrictions on the rights of parties to introduce candidates standing for election to an Imperial legislative body.

Verionist Union Press Officer: Verionists in the North have worked tirelessly to ensure that as many parties as possible could participate. Meanwhile, the N&H actively supresses parties such as mine in Modan. It is hilariously ridiciulous for the N&H to stand here and act like they are the victims here. They are only victims of their own dictatorial thirst!

N&H Press Officer: If a Verionist Union member is in the north does that make him a Northern Verionist or is he still a Southern Verionist albeit in the Northern Realm? What is genuinely amusing is how the Verionists will don their icebear costumes to say one thing - typically ravings about blood and fire and ice - in the occupied territories of the north, before returning to Shirekeep in normal garb to claim, sotto voce, that it was their good offices that saw the tyrant of the north relent from her despotic measures when it is clear to everyone that it was the hot breath of the inquisition on the necks of the VU apparatus out west that suddenly reminded them of the importance of liberal virtue.
