Methinks there is a coalition brewing :D

EDIT: any chance of a order preference poll coming along?

A coalition between Liberals, Labor-Farmers, and MN? Might be good to have a coaliton genuinely representative of different ethnic and class interests...

OOC: What is an order of preference poll?

OOC: Pa Dutch makes some compelling arguments, I think the Mapuches' (and other indigents) best hope is that the land they live on is of no use, not just to the Empire but also the settlers, ranchers, small farmers, industrialists, miners etc...

The question is does Patagonia go like Australia, South Africa, or New Zealand? It could probably be argued the native populace are closest in societal development to the Maori, in which case the population might be as much as 20% now.

After that, there are about a million Mapuche today, give or take. According to a wikipedia citation taken from "A Little Matter of Genocide" by Ward Churchill:
Ward Churchill is most famous for comparing 9/11 victims to Adolf Eichmann.

I'd suggest you find an alternate source.
 
OOC: it looked like you wanted to set up a poll so you could vote for parties in order. eg 1st Choice = Liberals, 2nd = MN etc. Tho unfortunately too complex to create on this site!

That's an ad hominem argument if there ever was one.
Perhaps more pertinently, he lied about his ancestry (he claimed on one occasion that he was one-eighth Creek and one-eighth Cherokee, and on another that he was three-eighths Cherokee, when in fact his ancestry is exclusively white), he lied about military service (he claimed that he was an army ranger who served in Vietnam, when in fact he never served in the military), and he was recently fired from his post (for which he did not have the doctorate that was the usual prerequisite) at the University of Colorado for "plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification."

I'd treat him as an extremely dubious source.
