Hey guys, Raptor here.
I'mm writing a scene in an upcoming story about a debate in the Confed Senate, and I want as much information about Confed's politicians around WC/SO as I can. (I'm especially interested in what was in the SO docs and fiction, as I don't have those at present.) I would also like your thoughts in things which aren't specified in the canon.
Things I would like to know:
-Are any major political parties named in the fiction? If so, which ones? What are their policies?
-Is Taggart still the speaker of the Senate? Also, as Speaker, is he meant to stay out of party politics (as with most Commonwealth parliments) or does he have a great deal of political power (as in the US Congress?)
-What other politicians are named? Which parties do they belong to, and what do they stand for? (Re-arming/decreasing military spending, supporting the frontier or letting the frontier planets fend for themselves?)
-Are any influential political figures outside the Senate named? Again, what do they stand for?
Best, Raptor
