Given the situation, I don't see why I need to make a case for you to accept me into the temporary coalition. Instead, I ask you: Which coalition would a bunch of German scholars looking for the best thing for Germany and then humanity want to join, and why?

Not Roleplaying answer: The lesser of the two evils would be the right-wing coalition. If the German Empire elects the left-wingers, there is no guarantee for peace between the Empire and the Internationale as there is a 50/50 chance that the Sorelians or Jacobins would be elected over the Travailleurs or Anarchistes in France. If the Sorelians or Jacobins are elected, then we would be under the threat of a war with the Internationale. There is also the whole Italian Federation versus the Socialist Republic of Italy where the Socialist would probably invade the Federation leaving us with a bunch of disgruntled Catholics if the government does not intervene. If the Empire elects the right-wingers, then the German Empire would go conquering everything. This is probably very beneficial to Germany in the long run as that leaves the Empire with more manpower and resources. This would also better for humanity in the long-run if the left-wing were to gain power after the German Empire has sufficiently integrated the newly conquered territories as the standard of living would likely go up due to reforms and such. If you are not looking that far into the future, then I suggest you go with the left-wing coalition. They will reduce the risk of war with the Internationale and avoid a Second Weltkrieg for a short while.

I propose that we side with the less expansionist groups to preclude any excessive military spending during a time of comparative peace combined with domestic stresses to our nation. We should, of course, maintain no commitments to either group. The intelligent peoples of Germany should appreciate our honesty and recognise that neither coalition has demonstrated their capacities...

This is a chance for the coalitions to demonstrate their capacities.

Hm...I have other stuff to do this morning, so I'll mull this over.

[Ghazkull]

Okay people the Elections are over and i will do a post as soon as a Majority Coalition has found itself together. For the Next Election i think i need to apply several changes.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Will the right-wingers let me into their coalition?

[Digital Hellhound]

I don't think the right actually has a coalition. The left, however, does. Bdthemag, shall we accept the MNB to our coalition?

Regardless, we are ready and willing to form the government with our majority (12 or 13 out of 15). Seeing as no opposing coalition has manifested itself...

[Owlbread]

The MNB could only aid your cause. I think Bdthemag is concerned that we would cause problems if we're too moderate, but his party would always be more powerful than ours in a coalition.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Technically, there don't seem to be ANY coalitions...

One coalition is on the verge of forming.

[Digital Hellhound]

We formed way back on page 9. Leftist Democratic Bloc, made up of the SRs and the radicals, possibly the MNB.

Probably, let me go check.

Not technically. You need to actually post in the IC thread, IIRC, before you have an official coalition.

[Owlbread]

We just need a reply from Bdthemag before we can say what's what.

[Bdthemag]

Fine we'll accept them, I suppose. But I don't want to give them any kind of minister positions (MAYBE a foreign issue position of some kind), considering that they're contributing little to the total votes. If GWG for some reason joins us, I'm not sure how to split the minister positions then, but all I know is that I want my party do dominate a majority of the military minister positions, with small representation in both economic and social issues.

To reiterate, at this time all we request is that our Reichstatthalter become a democratically elected position, elected by the electorate of the Freistaat thereby enfranchising the Central African population and allowing us to elect our own leader, giving us limited autonomy. As for ministerial positions - we'll take whatever you're offering.

[Digital Hellhound]

We'll start cabinet discussions once Ghaz confirms our victory. Note that we cannot lose anymore. There could be a stalemate of 13-13 coalitions, but I'm sure the gentlemen on the right will not allow such a paralysis of democracy.
