Coalition 1660 is not aligned to the N&H and does not support the present government in the State of Modan - it should be experiencing a rise in support.

(I'll conjure up results from the Modan elections last month (*cough*) to explain better...)

Not sure what to do this election - I'm no longer in Goldshire and the Imperial Democratic Party's core base is there... :( I didn't think that part through with my ragequit.

I assume that the party's done? Not sure how to proceed here...

In the last election, your party showed out strong across the Imperial Republic. Elsyran being its strongest area, but somewhat strong across Goldshire and Shireroth.

Even if you're not running Elsyran, the party is yours – you can decide how the party acts. Etc etc etc. Wherever it has representation, or where it seeks more representation.

Sounds good then, I'll carry on. Thanks!

For some reason people seem to equate the VU with the Icebearians. This is unfortunate, since Verionists everywhere work hard to make our nation safe and eradicate the remnants of the Vanic Horror.

Now why would people associate the Verionist Union with a gang of provincial religious fanatics?...

Opinion Poll/Informal Seat Projection:

Amokolian Freedom Front (AFF): 35, up 18
Behsaz Elwynn (BEH): 56, up 56
Coalition 1660 (C60): 114, up 57
Elwynnese Resistance Organisation (ERO): 57, up 57
Elwynnese Workers’ Party: 56 (EWP), up 7
Golden Order Party (GOP): 45, up 6
Holy Party of the Divine Icebear (HPDI): 33, up 15.
Imperial Democratic Party (IDP): 189, up 98
Nationalist and Humanist Party/Imperial Republican Party (N&H/IRP): 107, down 250
Verionist Union (VU): 80, up 1.
Others: 228, down 65

Comment
Largest change is the imminent collapse of the N&H/IRP, down 250 seats. In former Elwynn, voters go if conservatively minded to the Behsaz Elwynn, and if more left, to the ERO or EWP.

The Elwynnese left faces competition between two similarly minded parties, ERO and EWP.

The Verionist Union has considerable support among the non-Icebears of the Northern Realm and a growing support in Shirekeep following the mayorcy of Morvayne. Does badly elsewhere though. Overall, it seems to have a stable voter share compared to last election.

Have a look out for how the voter-share hole from the collapse of the N&H/IRP leaves Brookshire and Modan. Many small parties here try to fill the hole, but what if some larger parties, all-Shirerithian ones, to come and woe the voters here?

In Goldshire, there seems to be only a two-way race between the GOP and the IDP, with some smaller parties in Lunaris and Wintergleam.

[Leaked] Verionist Union election strategy

Post by Verion »

From: prefect@shirekeep.sx
To: s_lewis@applegatecider.elw
Subj: Election strategy 1665


Hello Stephen,

The 1665 elections might be an opportunity for us to recover from last election's losses. The campaign board has developped the following strategy, some key points to help us maximise the results, broken down per area:

Great North: Present ourselves as a constructive alternative to the Icebears, highlight Fieldburg accords. Eki has ensured me that all parties aside from HPDI and VU will be banned so we should be able to gain massively there.

Goldshire: Northern Goldshire we can be a strong player. Highlight historical ties to the region. You should make an appearance or two as winterglaemish. Generally we should try to unite opposition against king Ryker behind the VU. be critical of his reign and promise Goldshirians real change.

Brookshire/Modan: appeal to constructive citizens. Stress to the max our part in getting rid of Vanic yahoos. I have done some campaigning on the vanic strategy. Would work especially well in the more urban areas. In the other parts, basically getting out the word whatever the cost.

Imperial Dominions: our trump card. We continue to stress classical Verionist principles, most obviously the principle of limited sovereignty of States. Tell Dominionados that we value them as much, and probably more as Imp State folks. Tell them we will break arrogance of the States together with them. Many votes to be gained there, also start local alliances in Batavia and Amokolia. In former Vanic areas, our anti-Haraldian strategy should also be a good vote catcher.

Shirekeep: basically in the pocket, the Imp Rep will support the VU this time.

Important! Everywhere but in the Great North, distance us from Eki. Yes she has same name and we're supporting the northern alliance, but we do this ONLY FOR STABILITY! Cannot stress this enough!

Okay, if we stick to the plan, we have a world to win. The Reps are faltering, I don't think the Dems are strong enough outside Brook/Goldshire. Go get em!

Gods speed,

Titus

Comment on VU leak

While initially this leak would paint VU in an unfavourable light, after a few days, people will have moved on. Provided that the VU keeps up this campaign plan, it has good possibility to advance to make good gains outside the non-Elwynnese imperial dominions, in the Northern Realm, Goldshire, Brookshire, and Modan.

If the Northern Realm is confirmed to actually ban parties, it will implicate the VU even more with the Northern Realm and as an antidemocratic force – which may let the VU lose votes across the country (except in the Northern Realm where all who are not brainwashed cultists will probably end up voting VU). If the VU nonetheless voices strong opposition to Eki's measures, the VU would make gains across the IRS if people believe the message to be genuine...

Tricky spot to be in. Especially now that the world knows that Eki might ban other political parties and that the VU is OK with that...

Formal reply from Stephen Lewis, VU Chairman:

The Queen in the North has issued the formal Election policy. It's all fair and square, as you can see.

The Verionist Union would not condone banning parties, but is obliged to comply with legislation of the Imperial States under the Charter. We are glad that democracy is an important principle in the North and hope that more parties will participate.
