For the purposes of the election, will this be considered another party, or should all of the PUC and PUC-L votes be counted as the same? I think it would affect the total number of seats that the complete PUC would hold, and I don't want this little division to destroy my dream of a Grand Coalition.

[Arbiter Azariah]

For the election, and at all times, both wings are one party. They are simply factions in the one party that were created as a means of organising the PUC's wings. They approach elections, coalition agreements and most legislative policies as one cohesive unit.

Minimum Wage – the minimum wage should be decided on a regional basis in order to guarantee a bare minimum of self sufficiency.

wow so a tendency of wages to a bare minimum "promises prosperity and growth for all citizens"
Any SLD members looking at any dealings with the PUC-L: I urge you to reconsider

[Clausewitz]

And just checking thunder, you do realize that while this party sounds good it is entirely subordinate to the regular PUC which has this gems in its platform:

This party is not subordinate to the all-PUC caucus on matters of social policy, on which we can write our own.

That is how we have liberal planks on abortion and same-sex marriage.

Greetings.

The CA has begun coalition talks for forming a centre-right coalition government. We have already invited the PUC-C, and also extend the invitation to the PUC-L.

You may find that the PUC-L could have an influence over a mdoerate conservative government and that coalition talks with the CA may be preferable to those with the hardliners of the SN and the SLD with elements beholden to the SN.

[Lightman]

I would like to note that in the future that alerting the PUC will be itself sufficient, as we negotiate as one party. One half of our party will not join a coalition that the other is excluded from.

[Dan]

That sounds good. I wasn't sure if the PUC-L was keeping on top of the rapidly expanding PUC-C discussions.

[Nets]

What rapidly expanding PUC-C discussions?

[Dan]

The PUC-C thread is at page 7, and during the time I was writing my invitation to the PUC-C the thread gained 3 new replies. Maybe that was atypical, but it seemed to indicate a rapid expansion in discussions.
