Friends,
We cannot afford to lose the coming election.
Without the League of Gold to safeguard the value and privileges of a Voice, the Purples - or, Gods forbid, the League of White, would reduce all that we have worked for to rubble. Imagine, over the past few months, how many have spent what great sums of dinars or worked and bled to earn their Voices. All of their diligent efforts would be squandered and cheapened should our stewardship over the value of a Voice end. As is clear from the influx of Voiced citizens, it is plain that even 15,000 dinars is not so high a bar as to be prohibitive.
The Balladeers have been painted staunchly White, and the Janissaries are largely Purple (though I understand that they voted in droves for Ahmet this election out of, as Argent puts it, hateful xenophobia). Accordingly, whomever candidate we nominate would have little choice but to make overtures to the Astronomers and/or the Sisterhood, and strive to obtain at least the support of one or the either. In this regard, I would caution against alienating either the Astronomers or the Sisterhood, lest we irreparably damage our electoral prospects in the future.
