The Crusader Fellowship has hold it's annual Imperial Tribunal, it's congress. A heated debate swept trough the organization, as national theocratic and national communist anti-business delegates fought for returning to the original fiscally left-wing ultra-rightism of the Crusader Movement, against pro-business believers in state capitalism and semi-confessional national conservatism.
The party platform still mandates the ilegalization of all sexual activities not related to procreation, as well as contraception. However, the left wing of the fellowship, which is fiscally more right wing, succeed in confirming the fellowship's belief in private monopolies in important sectors of the economy, and state capitalism, causing much dismay among the ultra-nationalist and national communist factions of the party, who see the private sector as a tool of “the international conspiracy of yeudio-querazariah bankers”, and affront to national interests. The “left” also succeed in upholding the party's belief in publicly funded, privately owned “welfare corporations”, and their right to freely make profits from their business, as well as the privatization of the military.
Titus Angelus
Long haired former prosecutor Titus Angelus, a member for the “left” was chosen as the new Sigil-Bearer of the Crusader Fellowship, and confirmed as the Fellowship's candidate for the office of Imperator. While the Sigil-Bearer has a carte blanche to hand-pick whatever he wants to the Circle of nine, the party board, internal pressure seem to have forced him to pick Regina Omega Cordelis as his spokesperson on foreign policy. Mrs. Omega Cordelis is a Grand Magistrix of the Eternal Dawn Council, the apocalyptic international religious organization behind the Crusader Movement, and has been a staunch advocate of socialized schools and health care, draconian laws on sexual matters, as well as public floggings and executions. She stirred up some heated debate in the Imperial Tribunal, by writing a motion asking for the legalization of freely shooting illegal immigrants, even wanting to monetary reward anyone who kills an alien with tax money. We can expect the strongly anti-immigration part of the party to be satisfied.

The party platform also, as expected, calls for military action against the illegal entity known as “pontesi”, occupying the continental part of Selucia, and a deepened co-operation with Barmenia. Many of the party members, having returned from exile in Barmenia, are devout felinists as well as Selucian Patriarchalists, and many cays were present to bless the audience during the Tribunal.

In closing the Tribunal, the new Sigil-Bearer delivered a two hours long speech, calling for unity among decent citizens against the “homo mafia” and other “radical elitist groups”:
“When the government not only allows the sick perversions of batty-men, but also forces their own definition of marriage upon society, as a state approval of “love” and not as society’s most fundamental institution, we can expect ordinary decent folks, no matter rich or poor, to be seriously offended. We shall stand for a basic safety for every one, for a sound nationalism instead of class struggle or egoism, and we shall fight this elitism with claw and tooth. We cannot have this kind of discrepancy between the values, customs and norms of the elite and ordinary decent folks.”
He added:
“The homo mafia is a nobility in most of today's developed countries. They are allowed to ignore laws or even common decency, and freely force their experiments upon ordinary folks. In many countries, all must bow down in front of the privilege of indignation of the fagot. But dear friends, brothers and sisters, let us be clear on this: this is not the Selucian way. Now is the time for unity around the values that makes our Empire so awesome, for tommorow, we shall drive those batty-men elitists out of our sacred lands!”
