Since in the other topic its pretty much in hand that Bretonia is skull plugged, would this mean that the populace of Bretonia would rise up against the government that has failed them? This happened with Rheinland, going from a stable and powerful empire, into a bleeding House with much less power and a lot of revolutionary groups.

Does this mean that Bretonia is ripe for revolution as well on the Home Front? Once the war comes to a calm anyway.

Impossible. The prospect of first Kusari and now Gallian invasion will unite Bretonia rather than divide it. A revolutionary movement would be pretty much assured if Bretonia was the aggressor, but in this case it will be like WW2 Britain where Labour and Tories had a joint coalition government due to the fact that the foundations of Britain were standing on the brink of annihilation by nazi conquest.

In the lore according to Igiss, Bretonia will be subjugated by Gallia, leading to defeat militarily. I can see the population trying to stick together, but there would be I think a lot of resentment towards the government. Through both failure to protect them and that they're now puppets of an aggressor.

I disagree; Blodo is correct in that British culture errs on the side of unity in the face of adversity as seen in the Blitz rather than on the "omg we're about to get defeated let's revolt" side seen in many other countries.

Fletch, The thing to remember is that history has always and will always repeat itself. In imaginary futuristic scenarios that have similarities to historical scenarios, wisdom dictates that the most realistic approach is to follow the lead of the past.

So we should elect a tactically incompetent drunken and acid witted morale-booster that will later go on to give the secrets of jet propulsion to the Soviets and establish a controversial Jewish homeland in the Middle East as Prime Minister?:P

In addition, the fact that Bretonia is a non-aggressor in this makes it even more improbable that any sort of splintering will occur.

There's a difference between the Goverment screwing up foreign policy and the Forces of Evil threatening your good homeland.
