The Militants
Trotskyists. Two of them. The smallest party in the House Purple, alongside the Board of Dinglese Jews, and the only one that considers the Communists too moderate.

- The Militant tendency of 1980s Liverpool
The Militants trace their roots to the Militant tendency that ran Liverpool City Council in the mid-1980s and refused to set the budget London demanded, one of the fights that came before the Managed Decline papers and the crossing. Plenty of Dinglese families disagreed with the tendency at the time. The Militants have never let that put them off.
Article 55 sets no minimum share of the vote for a seat in the House Purple, which is how a party of this size wins Members at all. The Militants are, as a result, the Constitution’s proudest proof that it means what it says.
