Mutualist Ouroboros Party

The Mutualist Ouroboros Party (MOP), (14th January 2020 - 25th March 2023) was the founding party within Easway. Set up at the establishment of the 2020 Easwegian Directorial Federation Constitution, it served to facilitate the transition of Easway from a Provisional Government and is the successor of the Ouroboros' Serpents of Easway alliance. The party leadership was originally composed of a party committee, led by a party chief (Desourrë), provincial representatives (Alperen, Csyeigo Neicou, Samme) and a Party Director (Grand Councillor Emizerri), later referred to as the "Old MOP". The party disbanded when the sixth amendment on Monday 8th June 2020 changed Easway to a non-partisan democracy.

The eleventh amendment on 25th November 2020 made political parties legal again. The MOP lay dormant until its revival in May 2021 when former President Aleksou Desourrë redesigned the party & became the new Party Chief. Desourrë was replaced by Etch on 26th July 2021, who led the MOP to become the dominant party in Easway, until his resignation on 20th December 2022. This form of the party is colloquially known as the "new MOP,"

## History

The M.O.P was founded on 14th January 2020, after the establishment of the current Directorial Federation, as the successor of as the Ouroboros Serpents of Easway alliance (Easwegian: Liydoqe Chaape lei Hervicourei vi Ezerrye, CHE), which was the official political independence movement, formed from members of the previously underground Cyber Council and was led by a committee, headed by Director Emizerri who had been serving as the Cyber Council's Major Director from its creation in October 2015 to 19th December 2017.

In Easwegian culture, a serpent specifically refers to a follower of the Ouroboros and a person who is committed and pledges their allegiance to the liberation and maintenance of an independent Easwegian nation. The term was coined by the Emizerri and was especially popular during the Provisional Government.

Desourrë; preparing to retire from politics after he considered his work complete in the first stages of the Realm handed the leadership over to the Emizerri and the party was changed towards a Mutualist direction by the guidance of of the Emizerri on the 13th of January during the referendum on whether to install a Directorial Realm, as he saw Mutualism as a theory which could lead Easway into economic prosperity whilst implementing socially just policies into the constitution which would drive Easway away from the old and then current Parliamentarian system which both the Emizerri & President Desourrë felt was incompatibile for Easway's nature.

Not only was the party used for Mutualism economic purposes but also for what the Emizerri called Directorialism, a modification of the Directorial System seen in Switzerland & San Marino refit into a completely Monarcho Anarchist government. (A Monarchical system was heavily supported by the public and the Emizerri was incredibly popular as a leader).

This new reorganised party wished for a government that was void of the usual pyramid power structure of the many unitary nations, which was indeed realised after a January 13th 2020 referendum, which saw the Presidential system of Easway abolished (on the 14th) & three equal power governors of each municipality appointed.

### Disbanding & Made Inactive

Despite the party being disbanded after a collective decision by the newly appointed Marquis on 8th June 2020, this was not because the Emizerri didn't want an Imperial position to not hold partisan persuasion, like others had suggested to the Emperor in the past. It was disbanded because the collective decision by the Council was to outlaw political parties (back when they had judicial power), a topic headed by then Regent Marquis Csyeigo who felt they were not necessary for the new Realm.

### Redesign and Reactivation

On the 25th November of 2020, political parties were again made legal by a reorganised Council.

The thought of recreating the party had been a topic since then, but no action for this was taken until May, when Desourrë wished to re-enter the political scene in Easway, with the original tried and tested party.

The party flag was completely redesigned to stand out against the other new parties, an idealogy was defined & the party was submitted.

On May 26th 2021, the Mutualist Ouroboros Party under the leadership of Maximus allied with the National Republican Party of Easway, this lasted until July 23rd, when the National Republican leader, Boe Jiden pulled his party from the Alliance in order to join with the HPE. This ended the coalition & triggered a no confidence motion against Maximus, which with a majority of 6 votes succeeded & ousted him as both Director for Business & Labour and as Party Chief. Replacing him as Party Chief was Etch, who himself had previously left the part for Solidarity, resigned as Director, only to return to the M.O.P. Etch stood in the July 2021 Director for Business & Labour on Bear Island By-Election, which he won in an undisputed landslide picking up 11 votes and 68.8% of the vote total, with Demitrou Chostacovitch coming second with 3 votes (18.8%) & Metallityöt with 2 (12.5%). This was one of the highest margins of victory in the history of Easway.

As party leader, Etch created an Alliance with the Social Democrat Party of Easway on July 28th 2021. [1] This alliance lasted until the leader of the SDPE abruptly resigned his posts and there was no one to replace him in the party.

Etcha created a political alliance with the Federalistic Easwegian Voters’ Association on October 25th 2021 to create the FEVA-MOP Alliance. [2] A manifesto of political alliance rules were created as the party leaders stated "this would ensure the alliance will be stable and not fall apart like previous non thought out alliances, especially in the opposition."

The party saw much rejuvenation during the leadership of Etch, who was polling as one of the most positively viewed government representatives in Easway, and the party went from holding just one government representative in July 2021 to 3 in the National Directorate in December.

On January 31st 2022 the Mutualist Ouroboros Party saw major headway in Easwegian politics when the General Secretary of the Homonationalist Party of Easway, Hellmut disbanded his party, citing disappointment with the performance of the government representatives in his party, and joined the M.O.P, ever growing in party membership. As Hellmut was recently elected in the Imperial Council as the Regent Marquis, the M.O.P immediately gained a vice head of state, the second highest position under the Emperor. With the appointment by the National Directorate of Don as Supreme Director on January 19th, this meant the M.O.P effectively controlled both the state and the government departments, although it must be noted under the directorial system this doesn't indicate the same level of power as in a parliamentary presidential system.

The M.O.P voted Hellmut as the vice-chief of the party on February 1st 2022. The former deputy leader of the HPE, Archiennè joined the party the same day.

On 6th April the position of General Secretary was created and Hellmut was moved into this position. This position was made to be responsible for the general administration of the party.

On the 14th November 2011, after a successful referendum to add positions, such as President of the United Prefectural Assembly to the constitution, Party Chief Etch announced his candidacy for Grand Councillor. Director of Public Works on the Pomors Frontier Desourrë announced his resignation not long after Etch's announcement, citing his support for the Emizerri and dismay at the lack of proper consultation with all party members for whether Etch should stand.

## Policies

The M.O.P supports the policies laid out within the Seven Masts Philosophy and Easwegianism, including state support of healthcare, education and the sciences within the framework of a democrat publically owned society. The party during the leadership of Maximus embraced capitalism as did the constitution of Easway, but since Etchasketch assumed the position of party chief the policies have taken an increasingly left wing stance on many issues. The party has as such since the dissolution of the Homonationalist Party of Easway which has seen it further dominate Easwegian politics also moved Easwegian society further left wing.

The party supports the people being more involved in legislative decisions and education.

## Voting History

Party Chief, Maximus suggested the Mandatory Military Bill to the Long Palace on May 27th, a bill which would require every capable person above the 18 to serve in the army for one year minimum, paid. The current 2 members of the party voted yes to the bill, & it passed 9-4, marking the Mutualists first major victory within government legislator.
