Disclaimer: While I have made every effort to keep my personal bias out of this game, some may remain. I am anti-brexit and left wing, so please bear that in mind while reading PMs and FT.

Hi there, you applying to run for election? Sure, just let me check over the paperwork.
That seems all set. This document here explains the laws surrounding the election. We suggest all new candidates familiarise themselves with these laws.
You're not a new candidate, you say? Well, I suggest you read this anyway. We don't want to incur another party fine, do we?
1. Candidates may only speak using the secure servers provided by the Queen. All other communication is strictly prohibited.
2. In the polling station, you may introduce yourselves however you wish, including by name. However, sharing of sensitive paperwork such as your role PM is strictly prohibited and will result in your being banned from running.
3. All existing laws of Britain, The War Room and Bulbagarden still apply, with the exception of editing posts. You can edit what you like, except for votes. Don't edit votes. It confuses the Queen.
4. Queen Flop makes the rules and is permitted to change them at her discretion. You thought this was a democracy? You thought wrong.
5. No unpleasantries. Don't let debates get too heated.
6. This is a Bastard election. Some people may defect to other parties, and the Queen may say and do what she pleases.
7. Don't go quiet. If you leave the polling station for more than 48 hours, we will try to contact you. If you don't return within another 24 hours, we will give your position to another prospective candidate.
8. The voting machine only registers votes made in Bold. Please unvote if you change your mind or your new vote won't count and you may still be charged.
9. Have fun! This is not a real election, anyway. It is part of an elaborate illusion of freedom created by your true ruler, Queen Flop.

Thank you, and may the odds be ever in your favour!
Ideally, I want 18 players. We can play with 14, but 18 will be better.
This game may be Bastard, but it's still balanced.
