Chinese Parties and the Chinese parliamentary seats in 1900:
The Party for Traditional China: Founded by Dowager Empress Cixi, this party aimed for the complete reversal of all modern technology and an isolantist policy, effectively putting China back to square one. Unsurprisingly, this party is extremely unpopular, and only disgruntled nobility and hardcore Confucian philosophers supported them.
The Chinese Communist Party: This party was founded by Yichang Mao, and basically followed Marxist communism,but soon would develop a fascinating new mindset under Mao Zedong, Yichangs son and groomed successor.
The Dragon Party: Founded by Song Qing, the Dragon party was a imperialistic party that wanted a militaristic state that would devote all it's resources to crushing the west and the Japanese. It also said that barbarians need to be extinguished once and for all for eternal peace to reign.
The White Lotus Party: The most liberal and pragmatic party, it was founded by Kang Youwei and is the most popular Party in China. The White Lotus party wants a redo of sorts with the west, mild military expansion and a annexation of Korea as well, plus a massive colonisation effort. There is also a movement within to start a interventionist policy to improve the rights of women and non whites toiling away in the empires across the world. The Phillipines and the Indonesian islands have been left mostly untouched, while Australia and New Zealand are British territories. However, the natives will be treated with respect, and while armed conflicts cannot be avoided, they will actually be civilised and eventually assimilated into Chinese culture.
But, the party is beginning to fragment. The 'Red' faction wants a more... brutal colonisation effort and more military spending. The 'blue' faction wants a total pacifist approach and wants to subsidise the Japanese like the Han with the Xiongu. The 'white' faction is made up of men and women who want to focus completely inward, and leave the world alone, regardless of the pain that non whites go through. But for now, it is stable...
The Dragon Party: 197 seats.
The Party for Traditional China: 59 seats.
The Chinese Communist Party: 101 seats.
The White Lotus Party: 243 seats.
