Setting up/joining a party

Joining a party
To join a party, find a link to their group (there should be a list of active parties in the group description or on this wiki) and join it. That’s pretty much it. If you want to get more involved in the party, messaging their leader is a good way to find out what’s going on. There are occasional posts where you can put your political compass results in the comments and other people will recommend which party is best for you.

Setting up a party
To set up your own party, you must first gain the speakers’ approval, which may be done through the speakerbot. It is a good idea at this point to make a Facebook group for the party and make a post to the chamber announcing your new party, what it stands for and inviting people to join. Taking part in debates at this point is a great way to grow your party (by gaining debate seats) and make it better known. To run in elections, you will need to write a manifesto and acquire a cabinet of at least 20 ministers (10 ‘junior’ ministers and 10 ‘senior’ ministers) and become a “registered party” by registering on the party registration post which occurs before each election. You may now also want to write a party constitution to deal with the internal workings of the party (although this is not essential, and some parties have no constitution).
