Supplementary material to my Code Geass fanfiction. Also an attempt to recapitulate percentages and pie diagrams. Pretty self-explanatory.Code Geass is not mine. Neither is the Crowned Portcullis, which is a protected royal badge of Her Majesty The Queen in right of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

LOL depends on your view of democracy yes?

Napoleon firmly believed that democracy was if he did what was best for the people and asked them if he didn't care.

A good dictator indeed.

Except that one little mistake called Russia...

Actually that wasn't the reason for his downfall. Rather, his habit of ignoring good advice and alienating everyone.

Yeah that too, ignoring advice only works as far as you are right but when you are wrong that's the end, and it spirals down to a massive defeat...

And of course, when you design a constitution so as to remove the right to critique from everybody else ...

Luckily that can't happen in our system, now can it.

True, speaking of which, I need to note you

I sent you an email it is big...

You know I really should stop having "brilliant ideas" at 3 in the morning... that and eBay shopping at the same time of night....
π: 0 β©: 1
Stop eBay. Amazon is far better quality.

I dunno, some of the stuff out of China nowadays is pretty good (And believe me ten years ago I would not have said that)
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course. However, I don't like buying used stuff, especially as one cannot tell the quality. Plus out of some 50 eBay orders I made, half of them were not sent.

Ouch that sucks, I have been lucky (touch wood) so far, but I do agonise whenever I hit the pay button...

That's why I like Amazon XD

And soon all shall rise and sing, "Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!" over the corpses of two Emperors.

Not quite that funny, now is it.

Come to think of it...I suppose so.

Looking at "Awkward Ed Miliband Moments" now XD

Those are spectacles to behold, apparently.
Also, I notice that Brits on BOTH sides of the political spectrum have a special hatred of the EU. It's pretty much one of the few things papers like the Telegraph and Guardian agree on.

He's hilarious Xd
Sadly, yes D:

And if all that hot air coming from Spain and Greece, not to mention the sort of stuff from Switzerland, Hungary and the Czechs...it's spreading.
π: 0 β©: 1
I believe it will be overcome, but still.
π: 0 β©: 1
Depends on what sort of EU they want, I suppose.

More like "Only if we're in charge." Aka the Brits.
π: 0 β©: 1
One cannot be in charge if one doesn't bring oneself in.

Perhaps. I heard they're starting their own personal version of the EU with them behind the wheel.
Also, I'v heard that Austria's trying hard to become the true heart of the EU...or at least acting the part.

Hmmm... interesting to find that the Green Party hold seats even in 2033
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, Britannia is a green society. If it were based on our timeline, the Green movement probably will be a major force in 2033 AD.

Why so?
Nonsense. The first green party was the United Tasmania Group. The first green party to contend for a national parliament was in New Zealand. And Europe's first green party was the UK's Ecology Party. Of course, you can also trace it back to Rosseau.
π: 0 β©: 1
'cause they have some ideological aspects that i do not resonate with
I meant in Europe
π: 0 β©: 1
For example?
In case you forgot, both Rosseau and the UK are European.

the environmentalism part.
The first green parties in Europe were founded in the late 1970s, following the rise of environmental awareness and the development of new social movements. Green parties in Belgium first made a breakthrough. Belgium had Green members of parliament elected first in the 1970s, and with seats on the local council, held the balance of power in the city of Liege, so were the first to go into coalition with the ruling party on that council. In 1979 political campaigns and dissident groups feeling under represented in west German politics formed a coalition to contest the 1979 elections to the European Parliament. Although they did not win any seats, the groups in this association formally agreed to become a party and won a breakthrough in the German national elections of 1983. (Wiki)

Why so?
The German Green Party was not the first Green Party in Europe to have members elected nationally but the impression was created that they had been, because they attracted the most media attention: The German Greens, contended in their first national election in 1980. They started as a provisional coalition of civic groups and political campaigns which, together, felt their interests were not expressed by the conventional parties. After contesting the 1979 Euro elections they held a conference which identified Four Pillars of the Green Party which all groups in the original alliance could agree as the basis of a common Party platform: welding these groups together as a single Party. This statement of principles has since been utilised by many Green Parties around the world. It was this party that first coined the term "Green" ("GrΓΌn" in German) and adopted the sunflower symbol. In the 1983 federal election, the Greens won 27 seats in the Bundestag. (equally from Wiki)
Even if you were right, of what importance would that be?
