Erik Strakman Ruvst Für a 'Brëd Undergamotishe Ferstanding' Für Unmiddelbal Militär Aktsion and di Austing Eitenshmitez
Erik Strakman Calls For a 'Broad Parliamentary Understanding' For Immediate Military Action and the Ousting of Eitenshmit
Malachor
The Rikhardist attacks last week have triggered a deep political crisis between the left-wing understanding in the Undergamot. After announcing the national-syndicalists would scrap the agreement with the Government for 'synchronised voting', Erik Strakman has made an appeal both the communists and conservative social-democrats ('patriotic social-democrats' as he referred) to form a parliamentary alliance 'strong enough' to impose 'immediate military action against Rikhard', and simultaneously 'defend the social achievements announced by Eitenshmit'. That excludes the KP, or at least its more economical liberal wing, from this 'broad understanding' Strakman wants to make.
As for now, no communists or social-democrats answered the appeal, but it is known that the PAB's Politburo is currently meeting and that several high-ranking democrats of the more conservative stock have failed to attend a seminar in the SDP's headquarters in Malachor. Should the communists and a number enough of social-democratic deputies (or even KP ones) accept Strakman's proposal, Eitenshmit's hands will be tied and he will be forced to do Strakman's bidding, who seeks to reach out to disaffected 'conservative social-democrats'.
Who are those people? Although the SDP has presented itself as a left-wing and progressive party, wanting to enfranchise Christians, give Norssex autonomy and separate religion and State completely, a considerable fraction of their electorate is not the urban left-wing and progressive-leaning stereotype of the social-democrat. Many of their electors are working-class or peasant conservatives who just want more socially-oriented policy. And several deputies, mainly from a working-class stock, are opposed to more 'progressive' views, though they rarely express these opinions in public, stressing only the economic benefits of the SDP's programme. They are surely unsatisfied with Eitenshmit's smooth handling of Rikhard. As one of those deputies, Frank Sigmuntsun, puts: "I am deeply worried that Chancellor Eitenshmit deals with Rikhard as a problem of policing, as a petty criminal. He is more than that, he is a serious military threat and has killed too much people to be dealt like your occasional murderer - immediate and full-fledged military action should be done, and in this, I support Strakman - Eitenshmit is too soft." There are also several members of the KP who, despite their economical differences, would support Strakman. But the KP, affiliated with the former nobility and with the upper bourgeoisie, is fearful of creating more instability or killing a former King. Maybe tomorrow we can surely know how the appeal's targets will respond. If they accept, and in a number enough to form a majority in the Undergamot, Chancellor Eitenshmit will have to obey the assembly's will and initiate a full-fledged offensive in Goddhaus.

I would also minimize the intro music's length - like maybe about 15-seconds, then start to dissolve it and have your announcer come in. That being said, the old-school effect on the sound was very cool and well done. I might also add some background music at certain points throughout the piece, very light so it doesn't drown out the narration.
