We can have two characters now???

If thats not kosher, please let me know... i just thought a female character might be a good thing to have in play. But if everyone here dosen't like that idea, i will take her down

I think it's fine. I've played in similar games where players have run multiple characters. I think that as long as it's not abused, multiple characters should be allowed (but no more than two characters each). I also think the characters should be somewhat different, politically speaking, so that one player can't vote as a bloc all the time.

If we assume that Parliament has a whipping system (and of course it does) then that's not really a problem.

I guess it also makes sense that some parties would be more prone to bloc voting than others. For instance, the Cooperatives are a group of smaller parties that merged over common interests, whereas the SPP are more of a "big tent" party ranging from center-left to fairly far-left. The Nationalists, too, could be more of a coalition of different interests united by the goal of Pitfarris Nationalism.
