Imperial Bloc - A Party for the South

[Donerail]

Hold up guys. He was referring to the American South, not the Atlasian South. And even then he was reffering the the slavery days, so lets not hold this against him. Although We should advise him to watch what he says when referring to our glorious region.

Your fearless leader has spoken.

I just saw it while flicking through the NE's capital thread, so context may not be perfect Your Vice-Chair, SJoyceFla the not-quite-as-fearless-a-leader-as-Jbrase-but-still-quite-a-fearless-leader, has spoken and concurs with the Chair.

[Donerail]

So shall we endorse anyone for the At-Large Senate elections? We've got 4 Southerners on the ballot AFAIK (Hashemite, Xahar, Clarence, and Hagrid).

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Is Xahar still a Southerner? I thought he left the region.

[Donerail]

He's registered in Florida (3/4 of the Southern Senate candidates are).

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Florida is a popular state, evidently.

Who wouldn't want to go to Florida? We have sunshine, beaches, palm trees, large anthropomorphic mice, and more likely than not your grandparents.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I believe South Carolina has more per capita Golden Corrals, which partly explains my registration decision.

[CatoMinor]

I am about to be busy with school and related stuff pretty soon, so I would like to resign my position. SJoyve is now Fuhrer of the IB.

I'll still be here though

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I'm pretty sure I am a member of this party. I am so inactive in Atlasia that I don't really know

And lots and lots of Jews!

I've ordered the architects to fill in 'Vice-" on my statue.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Fuhrer? Really?

[Associate Justice PiT]

Fuhrer? Really?

     Fuhrer just means "leader". Blame Hitler for dirtying the word up.

[Donerail]

Oh yeah, Bacon King too. Wanna just endorse the 5 Southerners?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Some Southerners are better aligned with the values of the party than others. I think a vote of some sort would be appropriate.

[Donerail]

Right then, a vote's in order on the candidates to receive the formal endorsement of the Imperial Bloc for At-Large Senate:

ZuWo, Pingvin, Jbrase, PiT, and I worked this arraignment out.

[Donerail]

Hey y'all, me and Tmth were considering another alliance between the IB and MCPR, which is even better than the Whig one; it'd be between two parties that don't compete with each other and for both the goal is the betterment of their region.

[Pingvin]

Maybe triple alliance?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     IB and MCPR always seemed to me like a natural choice for an alliance, since we both have the same goal (regional advancement), but with different bases (IDS and Mideast respectively). We could even promote the creation of similar parties in the remaining regions.

[Pingvin]

How about this: IB and MCRP work on regional level while Whigs push your interests and helping your candidates to get into federal offices.

[Donerail]

The Whigs as a federal and other-regions party and the IB and MCPR to their own regions? I could see that.

[Napoleon]

The Whigs as a federal and other-regions party and the IB and MCPR to their own regions? I could see that.

The Whigs are mostly present in the Mideast and Southeast.
