Timeline of Deadlines
July 11th -- Senate passes an election bill.
July 14th -- Assembly passes the same bill (after a three-day voting period).
July 14th -- Founder (me) grants assent and signs the election bill into law.
July 15th -- Nominations open for the Senate and Speaker of the Assembly.

The election will run from July 15th to July 25th -- seven days of nominations and campaigns, plus three days of voting.

Imperii Ecclesia, Under ledzia, and anyone else out there who may be interested, but hasn't spoken yet?

IE, I know you want a monarchist party that isn't explicitly Bonapartist, Ledzia I know you want less of a strict monarchist party and more of a traditionalist or Bonapartist party, so perhaps we can reach a middle-ground?

Perhaps a party that has a more pan-traditionalist name, but which supports monarchy and tradition in general?

Alternatively, perhaps we could form a "bloc" that combines the names of two parties, one explicitly monarchist, the other a more big tent traditionalist wing? Idk how that option would vibe with the regional constitution though.

Whatever we decide on, we can continue negotiations after the election and change our structure later if we reach a new basis of consensus.

As an alternative to something as simple as the "Monarchist Party", I had been thinking the "Party of Order", since this was the ultraroyalist party of the Legitimists, but it has sort of an ominous vibe. Alternatively the Order and Progress Party (OPP), which would capture the spirit of Bonapartism without being explicitly monarchist or Bonapartist (Napoleon I's motto was "Liberté et l'Ordre Public" and Auguste Compte proposed "Ordre et Progrès" ["Love as a principle and order as the basis; progress as the goal"] which, though never adopted by Napoleon III, was later used by Brazil in 1889; both Napoleons were opposed to the revolutionary motto of "Liberté, égalité, et fraternité"). Or maybe even the Love, Order, and Progress Party (LOPP), if we really feel like going the "happy warrior" route.

During my time in RTL, I've seen many parties come and go- the Liberals for Life Coalition (though that was eaten up by the newer Christian Socialist Party), the Life Party, the Libertarian Party, the Progressive Party, and even a Reactionary Traditional Front. The only two parties that I think we have at the moment are the centre-right Conservative Federalist Party and the Christian Socialist Party. I've been a member of the Conservative Federalist Party since I've joined RTL, and I'm not sure I am quite ready to leave it quite yet. However, since we closed the Old Forums and I can't really access the old documents we wrote for the party, there is plenty of room to revitalize and already existing party and to keep the oldest running party in RTL going into the new decade. The major historical thing about the CFP that it's a big tent party of conservatives with a strong emphasis on the RTL army. We could potentially work as a subgroup or even "bloc" within the already existing party and perhaps revitalize it to get more members, and I'm pretty sure you could get wide appeal within the party if not for monarchism for strong traditionalism and order. I'm not sure I quite see the need for another political party as this time, especially if we only have three members.
