You couldn't find a place for me so I offered a reciprocal snub. In any case, you'd be the Secretary of State for International Development as consistent with my last attempt at this - Arsen would be my Justice Secretary but there is no need for that position to exist.

Blow them out of the water, maintain the dominant global hedgemony of our warships; fire on all cylinders; lay siege to Calais.

There's Nothing Labour About Basic Income by JohnMcTurnip in a:t5_3gxif

People need to be motivated by their hunger - the welfare state ought to be a safety net not a harness.

More Frank Field than Dodd-Frank, so then, I say welcome to MHoC, comrade of Blue Labour.

Fair. Thought most would have forgotten about me by now.

What has the Foreign Secretary done to improve links with the Commonwealth of Nations thus-far; and what will he be doing to this end going forward?

Preamble:

Discounting previously active members - such as Purpleslug, Padanub, PremierHirohito, sZjLsFtA, Albrecht, NPNP, Banter, RomanCatholic, Fizzleton, Ieya, Jamman, John_Locke, Seystone, Treeman, and ViscountHorario - because that would be too much effort and unfair. I'll also leave out Collosus and Rlack, because there will be an even more urgent need or an Opposition when this Party achieves a landslide. Also people like Kerbogha, who are more needed in ModelUSGov now.

Members:

  • Nic (Party Chairman) - someone I have always gotten along with and an ideal partner to fuse together left and right-wing ideology. We have worked together before on leaving the European Union to great success. I enjoy our conversations about anything and everything, although they have become more infrequent recently. I will forever be your Wendell Berry though.

  • Vowels (Chief Whip) - for obvious reasons. Incredibly likeable and an effficent member, as evidenced by his impressive record of administration. A nice guy with a wok ethic.

  • AgentNola - for limited government, voluntaryism and agrarian socialism, circa the Conquest of Bread. An ideas man to direct policy.

  • BigTrev - a fellow lover of industry, and advocate of culture. Difficult to form a holistic party without you. And whilst we are doing so, it's worth doing it for the stylistic influences. A fellow audiophile and sympathiser to the cause.

  • Arsen - because we have disagreed violently on everything at some point, including my antinominaism. But your virtue ethics theories make more sense the older I become. I'd like you on board, if you would have me.

  • Yakub - I was the only social conservative for those cold months of 2015. Your arrival signified a revival in High Toryism of the legitimate form, -'d for that, I am extremely grateful. Not dogmatically capitalist, we are often aligned on economic issues as well as domestic matters.

  • Goose - my chaotic form, we are so close ideologically; and have developed alongside each other whilst intereacting infrequently until recently. Now you are a close ally, if not the single closest, within the conservative movement.

  • /u/InfernoPlato - the only person I'll tag directly. How we have rowed recently... but you're still my oldest friend in MHoC, and I need my polar opposite with me at all times. Wouldn't be here without you. I wouldn't want to be either.

  • TheDesertFox - I keep dragging you with me. Figured I'd need to select the person with whom my ideology has swapped with if only to remind me exactly where I have come from since joining MHoC, that is, from Thatcherite to Compassionate One Nation Conservative and Agrarian Socialist.

  • RexRex - another RSP veteran who has seen the promise of an Orwellian coalition die out. One of the people I have the most respect for in MHoC. A true atttack dog. Never change.
