Let’s play a game /mlpol/. We create a parliament and create board rules and make other things regarding the board.
>How does it work.
Step one, we need some political parties. For a party to exist you need to write up a party manifesto make a logo and chose a color. The manifesto must also state where you lie on political issues, this can be super broad or very specific, but the more people that understand what you stand for the easier it'll be to get anons to vote for your party. It also might be helpful to name/tripfag if you create a party. Here an example:
Party Party Not a real party as of now
Manifesto:
1. /mlpol/ is a fun board.
2. /mlpol/ is a nice board.
3. Being no fun will not be allowed. If you are not fun, you'll be BANNED!
4. If you’re a commie you’re not fun.
5. On Sunday you need to post horse pussy at least once or you’re not being fun.
Stance on issues is conservative center left. Distributism is good if effective. But destroying traditions is no fun!
Ect
As soon as we get two parties up and running the two parties will get one seat each seat and all parties that join will also get two seats. There is a 10-party cap so that we don't have a terribly large amount of anons making parties that are very similar.
After the parties are formed we can get to the meat of it which is anons voting. The votes here will work differently. Say which party you want to join and the party will be given an extra seat. Your vote can also be used to remove a seat from a political party. Everyone including party founders get three votes with their ID for max chaos. The game will continue till we reach 23, and as soon as its hit voting is over.
Once voting is over we can go full LARP and each party leader, or the person who made the party and wrote the manifesto, will chose anons who loyally voted for him to become members of parliament. Here we will draft legislation and make arbitrary rules based on the manifesto. All which will be non-binding unless, say the mods for whatever reason don't veto it when it leaves the lower house of parliament.
SO LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

>>2739Apparently I can't count. Thanks anon!
>>2740you're welcome, it's just a shame that 23 doesn't look nearly as aesthetic as 24
>>2741Well an even split would ruin it all but I think it should look much nicer as parties begin forming and the entire image gets filled out.
>>2738Calling dibs on a seat, and bumping for interest. I'm too drunk and tired to post proper now.
>>2742true, true. I can't wait to see what happens!
>>2743I don't think you can have a seat unless you make a party...
>>2738Sounds interesting. I may try and come up with something later, but I have a feeling I won’t be very good at this. Can’t hurt to try though. I would do it now, but I’m dead tired. May the best party win.

So it seems the time spent on Nationstates years ago can go to good use at last.
The Property and Freedom Party [PFP] is an anarcho-capitalist/minarchist/libertarian party with a flag consisting of the universal AnCap flag with a recurve bow and multiple arrows. Its color is gold and Leslie Faire is its mascot.
Manifesto:
1. Defend property rights on /mlpol/ and base governance on private agreements and mutual understanding.
2. Protect the free-speech of all anons.
3. Ensure moderator intervention is kept to its present extent (minimal and strictly necessary).
4. Encourage influx of alt-right, libertarians, and horse****ers to keep /mlpol/ white and based.
5. Organize ourselves to become the cyclone of rational thought and base of operations that 4/pol/ once was.
Stance on economics is laissez-faire capitalism. We are on the radical right but we welcome separatism based on culture and geography (the other boards should remain separate from the main /mlpol/ board). Tradition cannot be kept alive artificially but must be inculcated naturally in the population; mods simply have to remove shills.
We must maintain a vigilant and militaristic stance but not one that stems from central leadership, which can be easily decapitated or subverted. Our private pony cavalry brigades will bring the love of Hoppe across the Internet!
>>2748>>2750Logos as of now couldn't help myself with the latter I just recall seeing something like it and needing to add the
falangist symbol in the background.
>>2751Byodiful. Thanks anon, have a (You)
Update, also
>>2746 if you want you party to be in the Parliament I'm going to need a color for now at the very least.
April First Party is a party made to make certain we remain close to our roots and traditions we created on April first through third. Reactionary measures will be called for if mlpol.net begins to lose its way and stray from the spirt of April First.
Manifesto:
>Establish the edicts of Equestia/Polestria in a sticky that is Locked and Pinned on the board at all times.
>Strict Adherence to the rules originally created by our community on April first through third.
>Expulsion of all things in violation the rules created on April first.
>Growth through action! Continue to encourage our user base to stay involved so we do not lose users to faster boards like /mlp/ and /pol/. Through this indirectly lure new users due to our relevance.
>Isolationism from boards that are on similar or good terms to us. More raids on boards we have hostile relations with.
>Centralization of /mlpol/ on site. This means removing the boards that disperse our community and limit the amount of discussion we can have.
>Centralization of /mlpol/ the board. Find ways to better centralize the board itself so that users will be encouraged to create new threads and then bake a new bread when it’s done.
>Fix the flag problems.
Stances
Monarchism with an understanding that authoritarianism and libertarianism have their times and places.
>>2755Forgot to say color is black.
Update on the parliament. I think I'm headed to bed now anons. Here's a trip if something happens.
The States Rights Party is based on the Confederate States of America ideology of state power must not be denied by the federal government. The color is red (not sure if you want more specific colors or not) and the logo is Confederate States Congress seal.
Manifesto:
1. We abide by Christian values, as those values provide stability and a moral standard to judge our laws and ourselves by. We cannot force beliefs on anyone, but core values of Christianity will guide the party in all decisions. Deo vindice!
2. We push for states (metephor for the parties I suppose in this case) to have freedom to make laws and decisions amongst each other with little federal interference (mods I guess). We fight against unnecessary laws and regulations that may restrict individual states from operating independent of government interaction, though a central government is still needed with power to punish wrongdoing and encourage that which is right. (I Peter 2:13-14)
3. We hold traditions in high regard and importance. Any law that may alter the way things are done must be examined thoroughly and have solid evidence that it is necessary in order to be considered for support by the party. And in this light, we push for all attempted changes be tested before brought for a vote. There is no reason to force a large change without proper scientific testing to see its possible effects before implementation on large scale. That being said, strict punishments and force dealt by the government to those that break the law are both promoted by the party.
4. Communism, socialism, and other liberal ideologies are anti-traditional in nature, have no evidence to work, promote hyper-governments, and are largely anti-Christian in values. Therefore, all such ideologies are denounced and are considered hostile to freedom and states rights for their globalistic agenda to rid states entirely.
5. The party views a bill of rights a necessity in the currrent social climate. Although all rights should be assumed to belong to the people and the states, corruption over generations tends to erode all assumed values and truths. Thus, the rights of the people must be protected by means of a bill of rights.
6. Admentments are not supported by the party in case of laws or bills. A law should have been properly thought out first off. Second, the law that is not working must be scrapped and replaced by a new law, if it is even needed. This way laws are made as complete as possible without pages of patches trying to cover the loopholes. To achieve this, if the law is vital, the law is kept in place until a refined bill or new one is made. If non-vital, the law is scrapped at which point the law may be replaced or not. However, important documents such as constitutions or manifestos such as this one, may need amendments to add or clarify something to the foundation of how you operate. It is not wise to destroy your foundations every time there is a change.
7. Finally, though we may sometimes disagree and scuffle over our preferred route to take, we will always support and fight for our brothers in Christ, in arms, and in politics. We may bicker about what to do, but we are united by a common enemy. The world looks at us and says we are not worthy to be in their new world order. Well, we never wanted it to begin with. We all fight to restore things to some form of the way it was, whether that be full authoritarian control, no control at all, or somewhere in between. It’s all back before globalism.
>way too long; didn’t read
To sum up, the States Rights Party leans ancap, but has some traditionalist/authoritarian elements to it, thereby having both sides hate it. Hope this wasn’t a bore to read.
>>2757Those digits... is this a sign?
But I find it funny you put ancap next to the traditionalist one which wants to centralize. Pro-government like solutions sitting right by the anarchist. The thought just makes me grin about all the fights that could go down right there. I’m not saying to change it, I just find it hilarious.
The Veterans Representation is a 'party' for current or former members of the armed forces or their immediate family members.
The political aspect of the group is informed by the general attitude of the military itself, right leaning, authoritarian structure & a view to ensuring the members are cared for as if they were family.
In many ways the Representation is not a traditional political party but more of an influence group toward other parties.
>>2762So, like lobbyists or something? I’m a little confused.
>>2762Can Commonwealth states join?
>>2764Of course mate all military are welcome.
>>2763Still a party but an independent floating vote who will go to wherever the most benefit for their members are.
>>2765Ah. I get it now. Oh, and you need a color to represent your party.
>>2766Tan would seem to be the choice available!
>>2738Just want to double check this is an RP and not a legit attempt and creating an internal gov to run the board that atremps to boss around the mod team right?
If it's an RP I think it is a great and fun idea
spoon party
-right wing monarchist
-wants to start a nuclear program to destroy Israel
-force niggers into agricultural slavery in our new African colony
-wants to establish a royal family like the Habsburgs
>>2769>>2762>>2758Added!
>>2768Everything is nonbinding since I'm not a mod. From there you can take it as seriously or as not seriously as you want.
>>2760Your right the main divide in /mlpol/'s politics isn't going to be modern right left but more likely centralization vs federalists. I've changed up the congress for now based off of that.
Also feel free to vote whenever. Remember you each get 3 votes total. Each one can be used to vote for or against another party by taking away another seat.
First for giving the AFP more POWER!
Bare with me. This is a joke.

>>2770We each get 3 votes? Wouldn’t the votes from the makers of each party go toward that party to make sure it wins? Or does making a party count as your votes?
>>2774Making a party counts as a vote. Your votes however can also go to reducing the net share of other parties. So I don't think everyone will just vote for their party.
>>2775I feel very unintelligent right now. I don’t understand parliament as well as I need to to understand how voting reduces the share of political opponents. If you don’t mind explaining it or sharing a link to educate me on how that works, I would appreciate it. I only ever knew voting to gain your power by adding seats to your own party.
>>2776Don't worry anon that's not how it works IRL. But for the sake of this game that's how it works.
Ex1:
>Vote for /mlk/ >/mlk/ gets an additional seatEx2:
>Vote against NBWG>NBWG loses a seat >>2738The Stern Disappointment With Hitler Party.
1. Hitler didn't even gas the jews, we will.
2. Shitskins need to be wiped off every continent.
3. Communism is anti-white and Communists shall be summarily executed.
4. Unrestrained capitalism is naturally globalistic and anti-white, and must be restrained by National Socialism.
5. Racemixers get the Rope.
6. Libertarians get the R**eaducation camps**
7. An armed people is a secured people.
8. Ponies are nice.
9. This is nice board.
>>2777Ah, ok. I have two votes remaining correct? If so, I will vote go ahead and vote those two for the States Rights Party. I would save the votes normally to try and reduce other parties, but might as well see where more seats takes me. Will I be the next target, or will I gain some momentum with the other voters? This is getting interesting.
>>2778Forgot a color, we'll take purple.
Fug miss clicked on the commie party. One sec let me fix that.
>>2784I'd like to vote once for The Stern Disappointment With Hitler Party.
I wish to join the PFP, so to speak.
>>2784>>2785I'd like in on this party too.
>>2787>>2785>>2786Added
Also using my final vote to kill of NBWG.
