When the talking about sieging democracy over the emperor's ruling over Kusari started, several Kusari Naval Forces officers, backed up by Kishiro and the other democratic side, started a coup inside the Naval Forces' ranks.
Many of the officers started to wear rings shaped in a White Lotus form, as a symbol to their affiliation, and up to today Naval Officers that back the party can be found wearing them.
What started as a military coup, soon turned to a well backed party by inspired Naval Officers and retired veterans. The party, have most of its votes coming from the citizens of planet Honshu - both former soldiers, and those who aren't, although a significant number of the votes have been registered in planet Kyushu, coming from veteran soldiers who have returned to their homes after the war with Gallia.
Being one of the smaller parties, the White Lotus is found in coalition with the Kusari Democratic Party, both having similar agendas only with the White Lotus focusing on the military's benefit, and looking after its current and former members, who are doing, or did, a great service to our nation.
