Hangouts: Party headquarters in Tachi Towers, O’Malley’s pub

Philosophy: To replace the ISA’s false democracy with a monarchy.

Reality: Monarchy Now is a surprisingly active political party. They believe that the ISA proves that republicanism is flawed and that a monarchy would serve everyone’s needs better. They provide clear and concise arguments as they try to work for a grassroots change in the social structure. By making the monarch independently wealthy, they believe they can remove moneyed interests from having the huge voice they currently possess. Their leaders, John Lord and Dr. Zimmerman, are very persuasive and the party is starting to influence many of the smaller elections in California. As they tread on dangerous ground by fighting the ISA by its own rules, they are much more careful than most revolutionary groups. They have made their positions clear and avoid any backroom deals or connections. For example, they know of the Eden Cabal and share the commitment to the general rights of all people (even the Evolved have rights under common law). However, no one in their upper echelons would ever be seen talking to a member of the Cabal.
        Monarchy Now knows that they are under surveillance, but continue their work. They spend a majority of their funds on running ads, publishing leaflets, and holding debates. Yet, even there they take a cautious road and ensure that every statement is legally accurate and non-libelous. They even publish the Crown Newsletter, a report about corruption, foreign affairs, philosophy, and history. It also debates their greatest source of internal conflict the nature of the future monarchy. Most of the members, including John Lord, support a constitutional monarchy; however, some, including Dr. Zimmerman, want an absolute monarchy. There are also Patriarchs, Feudalists, and other stripes as well. They fight out their differences with words and votes rather than bullets, just as they do in the real world. They are a deeply committed group and will help others when they can, provided that it does not put their party or ideals in jeopardy.
