THE BANARDIAN PARTY

PREAMBLE

With growing attendance in His Majesty’s Assembly, and the appearance of a growing political consciousness within Vienne, it is the responsibility of policy-makers to represent the interests of their constituents as effectively as possible. Such representation must come from an united front of politicians bound together by the interests of their constituents, so that thorough legislation may pass in the assembly for the benefit of the common man. With this in mind, the Banardian Party is founded on this day, 9th of Sun’s Smile, 1876. In accordance with the Party’s commitment to meritocracy, the Party shall soon convene to elect the Party Chairman and form a hierarchy.

MANIFESTO

Learning from the constitutional reign of Emperor Philip III and the reforms of King Frederick I, the Banardians recognize the importance of unity amongst Orenians, both within the Assembly and Fatherland. Be they peasants or nobles, the Banardians within the party advocate for political flexibility to come to solutions and progress, avoiding extremist ideals in favour of practicality. All whilst keeping culture, honour, faith and tradition intact, the average Banardian embodies the spirit of an individual who strives in a community, in order to progress it, appreciating and respecting the monarchical structures set upon Oren. Through thorough organisation and order, shall the Banardian Party bring efficient change within the Kingdom, using the voices of the people to advocate for a more unified Orenia.

PARTY GOVERNANCE

 

THE CHAIRMAN

Voted by the Banardian Committee, the Party’s chairman is the highest authority within the party. Their duties usually entail general management of the party as a whole with the help of (and including) the Committee. They are the only member of the party who may call the Committee  to discuss policies of the party. The first ever Chairman elections of the Banardian Party after its founding following this document shall be carried out by the party as a whole, instead of the Committee, which will be elected after the Chairman.

 

THE VICE CHAIRMAN

Appointed by the Chairman of the Banardian Party, the Vice Chairman is the only non-elected member of the Banardian Committee. The Vice Chairman serves as the penultimate office that drives forth policy and legislation within the party, and serves at the convenience of the Party Chairman, taking forth the duties of the Chairman in their absence. They are involved in the election votes of a new Chairman, but may not vote during the voting process for a Chairman’s removal.

 

THE BANARDIAN COMMITTEE

Elected by the members of the Banardian Party, the Banardian Committee serves as the drivers of legislation within the Assembly. Each member of the Committee specialises in one facet of Banardian policy, and takes on the duty to represent the ideological commitments of the Party in their respective fields. The Committee is called forth for a meeting by the Party Chairman only, yet if such a meeting is called, may motion select a new Party Chairman through a majority vote. This motion cannot be enacted during the first year of a new Chairman's term.

 

THE COMMISSIONER OF LEGISLATION

  The Commissioner of Legislation is the representative within the Committee that takes the responsibility to advocate and argue for Banardian legislations that are presented to the General Assembly. Their duty is to cooperate with authors of political legislation, proofread legislation so that it matches with the party ideology and the Orenian Law, and to sway the General Assembly in favour of suitable legislation.

 

THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLICITY

  The Commissioner of Publicity acts as the representative of the constituents of the Banardian Party, keeping members of the public up to date with the affairs undertaken by the Party in pursuit of their representation. Furthermore, the Commissioner of Publicity takes charge of political campaigns and cultivates support from the people of the Kingdom. They take accountability for the Party and its legislations, and ensure that the link between the constituents and the party are unbroken; their concerns heard.

 

THE COMMISSIONER OF FAITH

  The Commissioner of Faith, preferably a clergyperson, is the main advocate for the Church of the Canon within the Banardian Party. They drive legislation on matters of faith within the assembly and work to lobby against any legislation that seeks to undermine the Church and the Lectorate. They proofread Banardian legislation to ensure that it does not infringe upon the sacred principles of the Church.

 

THE COMMISSIONER OF AFFAIRS

  The Commissioner of Affairs oversees the induction of property owners or grantees to rights of land into the party, concurrently ensuring that the other members are satisfied with the direction of the party. Some of their other functions are the corroboration of party discipline, peculiarly in times of sessions of the General Assembly.

 

THE COMMISSIONER OF FINANCES

  The Commissioner of Finances is the driver of economic policies of the Party. Their work entails authoring legislation to cultivate a more prosperous Kingdom, and ensuring the interests of the artisanry are upheld. Furthermore, the Commissioner of Finances manages the Party Budget, and provides funding for the various endeavours that the Party undertakes.  

 

THE BANARDIAN MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The Banardian Members of the General Assembly hold seats within the General Assembly, and as such, are representatives of the Orenian people. They are members of the Banardian Party, and author legislation in line with our policies. They elect members of the Committee from among their own, and serve at the behest of the people and the King of Oren. Any Assemblyman may be nominated for a seat in the Committee during elections, but they may not run for more than one office at a time.

POLICIES

Firstly, the Banardians advocate for support of the businesses held by individuals, subjects of the Orenian Crown, permitting the growth of an economy regulated, but not hindered by the government. Thereafter, such an economy shall endure crises and times of instability in the administration. 

 

Secondly, the Banardians advocate for the preservation of traditions pertaining to the Crown and Church, keeping the moral fabric of society intact through the upkeep of the interaction between these two pillars of society.

 

Thirdly, the Banardians advocate for reforms pertaining to the General Assembly, wherein we wish to seek to alter, grow and cultivate the political consciousness that the Edict of Temesch had established, so that representatives and constituents can foster closer links that translate onto lawmaking and the overall Assembly.

 

Fourthly, the Banardians advocate for the maintenance of the rights enshrined in the ancient constitution, in which the Crown governs over their subjects with the God-given divine right Kingship, chartering and delegating parts of their dominion to Peers of the Realm who may Lord over their lands accordingly.

 

Fifthly, the Banardians advocate for Flexible Policy, as each political problem requires deliberation and answer which may be of conservative or progressive thoughts therefore we shall not limit our choices, but rather grasp the variety of such.

As he pens the official document minutes before the Assembly presentation, Leon Barclay sits on the comfy chair after handing it to Dietrich, bumping his Banardian hand on the counter in a very Banardian way.

Erhard nods to himself, while attending his wounds, "Gutt."

Odessa grimaced as she was read aloud the declaration of a new party by her husband -- who'd coincidentally been one of the founders of the organization all together. She took off her heirloom set of pearl earrings, the aging woman gingerly tossing her jewelry back into the porcelain tray which held it, speaking with much chagrin to Dietrich, a hand on her hip, "I thought we were going to a party..." Odessa confessed, stalking away with slumped shoulders to put away her meticulously-chosen dress for the occasion she'd manifested.
