I like your thinking, but im not sure about the heavy focus on our navy instead of the army.

the desire against american tyrants(high) and improving soldier QoL(medium) both requrire a focus on the army, while only a low desire wants a better navy. Building a new navy is good, but there are still tyrants on our border that need to be defeated.

Im not sure about the Poltglot campaigns(do you mean polygot?). Learning multiple languages is nice, but as pretty much a single issue party it wont really resonate with our core voter base and i dont think anyone is going to vote for us just for better language support

Renaming to The International Revolutionary Party is great!


If we are excluding the RRP from coalition, wont that hurt our reputation as respected bipartisans :o

I can pull one from the Navy and another towards the army, but the purpose of the polyglot campaign is so that we can more easily communicate with international revolutionary groups. While it is not an immediate concern it is to serve the long term goal of war against all the imperialist powers.

Also good point about the RRP, we should be willing to form a coalition with any party that will let us drink the blood of tyrants.

So, I've got absolutely no clue how I would construct a platform for the socialist party, EXCEPT, we really should see about constructing a spy agency to fuck with the Colonial powers considering it's one of the SP's main planks

Edit:
especially considering that one of our uptimers happens to be a former JIA spook, if he's still alive that'd be a HUGE leg up on practically everyone else in terms of institutional knowledge which is currently going to waste

After Walpurga Voight was locked out of her own party's legislative agenda setting (OOC translation: lol, our entire circle was waylaid by IRL bullshit for several days), she has emerged at the forefront of the new Socialist Party.

That particular thing is in the background, since that's an obvious course of action for the players to have taken if the previous quest had continued. Presumably the Des Moines Alliance as a whole has access to intelligence agency institutional knowledge imported through him.

It doesn't say it anywhere explicitly, I'm simply assuming that Notbirdofprey isn't going to rule that no, we don't actually have any sort of intelligence organization despite getting someone to set it up being one of the last decisions we made in the previous quest.
 
To be fair, there's state foreign intelligence agencies (which I'm sure all the DMA powers have to some extent, to the extent they're even separate from the diplomatic services), and then there's the International. At some point we should get the International to ramp up anti-militarist agitation in Europe so as to help the revolutionary war effort against the imperial armies, but we're not quite at the point where we need it yet.
