NDP & Equity Coalition Announced

 Sir Martin E. announced earlier today that himself and the Archduchess of Furlong had entered into discussion on the topic of a Coalition. Only days after the Liberal-Green-Leftist Alliance Coalition was announced, the NDP-Equity Coalition would prove to be equally challengable.  This coalition comes after the Conservative Party has ended ties with the Equity party when the EP endorsed NDP Myrth Candidate Cam Q. over the sitting member and leader of the Conservative Party, HIM Emperor Rory I.
