Re-registration?

[Хahar 🤔]

I think we probably need it, given that several registered members have moved on. I'd also like to see an end to the proliferation of parties. It'd be good to have three; a Left, Right, and Center. This way, we'd have room for coalitions.

[Хahar 🤔]

Btw, I still think we should keep the party structure.

I disagree. Fragmentation will prevent any strong power.

Idea for parties:

Socialist Party (Parti socialiste, Partido Socialista): Standard leftist party, with all the dissensions that arise as a result. Does especially well in Francophone areas.

Liberal Party (Parti libéral, Partido Liberal): Founded as a liberal party, but with an increasingly certrist outlook. Does best in big cities, but there is a solid Francophone Liberal undercurrent.

People's Party (Parti populaire, Partido Popular): Originally an agrarian Anglophone party, it still sweeps those areas. However, there is also some degree of support from business. There is almost no support from Francophones.

National Party (Parti national, Partido Nacional): A remnant of the former ruling National Movement during the dictatorship, this party is almost exclusively Lusophone. All parties have put a cordon sanitaire around the Nationals.

I designed the parties in such a way that any coalition of the three major parties is possible, and the Liberals thus do not hold all the cards.

I'd be a Liberal in your new setup.

I can imagine you would. The People's Party would probably be kingmakers.

I really do prefer the old party system though, its alot less rigid.

But it's far too incoherent for anything useful to happen.
