Role 7. Coalition of Minority Political Parties (boosts the power of
minority parties to represent minority interests)

You want to make sure that the election process is fair and that minority groups are able
to get access to the polling stations without fear of violence. Members of your coalition
who were once leaders of the rebellion still have the respect of the warlords and gang
leaders who once fought along their side, but not enough to hold back the violence that
will likely follow another fraudulent election. Two changes may help the situation:
1. Increase the portion of profits (free and clear of the national government’s
corrupt measure that would diminish it) from all natural resources that goes to the
impoverished provinces heavily populated by minorities; and
2. Ministries, in the next administration and in administrations thereafter, should
reflect the country’s demographics and be headed by more minorities. For this fair trade,
you will persuade your past comrades to refrain from violence, no matter the election
result.
You want to:
• Leverage your support from the minority groups to win some favorable terms
for the minority groups.
• Be very careful that your emphasis on the party’s close ties with the warlords
and gang leaders does not come across as a threat to instigate violence or
your party’s tolerance for criminals.
• Make the group understand that the minority groups are well aware that the
government is very corrupt and the corruption affects the disadvantaged
minorities the most.
