Talk:Stormwind Party for Labour

Okay, so I'm going to just make a few points here, focused around the 'policy list' for this party. Keep in mind, this is all personal opinion.

1. Citizenship: There really isn't any evidence (that I can find) to support the idea that one must be a Stormwind Citizen to live in Stormwind. The city has an entire quarter devoted to Dwarves, and had (before it got blown up) a park filled with Night Elves. Draenei, Worgen and Gnomes can also be found living in the city which seems to imply that there is no 'citizenship' requirement. Now Death Knights and Demon Hunters might need special permissions before they can settle, but otherwise, I just don't see it.

2. Education: Education is not something that everyone gets in the Warcraft universe, although that varies between racial cultures and kingdoms. The book 'Of Blood and Honor' implies that education is only given to those with position or wealth as the rank and file soldiers who captured Thrall after his escape from the Internment Camps, could not read the letters Thrall was given by Taretha. Now obviously that's something the SLP can campaign to change, but it's still important to note that it goes heavily against the status quo. Also, tertiary education, the idea of it didn't really exist, and the price tag you've put on it literally means that everyone would be getting finacial support, quickly bankrupting the Kingdom as earning 100k gold a year is something only the most powerful merchants would be able to do (nobles technically don't work, so they only earn what their subjects on their lands pay them in taxes and tributes)

3. Horde-Alliance Relations: The idea of a 'visa' is extremely modern and has absolutely no place in the warcraft universe. Hell, visas and passports only became necessary for us after 1918. Travel documents could certainly be a thing, but the idea of applying for a visa, is not. That's far too modern.

Ultimately, roleplay what you want, but I find those three points to be particularily on the nose. It feels like this is basically a set of policies transported from the modern world into the game, with little thought given to how it would fit in a quasi-medieval society.
