OOD, I guess I left monarchist partisanship out of the equation because I was trying to cover substantial parties within the United States (hence no Tories or Labor, dear friend Stephen :mrgreen: ). I was talking to a friend of mine back home, and he was telling me a story of how Geronda Paisios was comparing voting to starving to death or selecting fruit from two rotten trees. In the end, you just pick the one that's less rotten As for the reconquest of the Eastern Empire, it fell, and it was for a reason, known only to God and Heaven, and it also happened in Russia. I guess I'm a cynic when it comes to holy empires. In my humble and absolutely inexperienced opinion, the only Kingdom we should be fighting for isn't going to be found here.
