Stanton House

The Stanton family has been in politics since Andrew Stanton's presidential candidacy in 2988. Even though he won, his party only had 28.4% of the seats. He was the frontrunner for the Tory party, which has been politically active in Beluzia since 2927. Leadership of the Tory party was switched between Andrew Stanton and his boyfriend William Aucott as they competed against the Zogists and the Liberal Democrats. It was assumed, by the public, that Andrew Stanton was bisexual, but it wasn't known whether William Aucott was bisexual or gay. They allegedly banned homosexuals from the military to avoid national service.

The Tory Party had uninterrupted control of Beluzia from 3234 to 3267, when they were contested by the Beluzian Liberal Socialist Party, led by a family of Indralan exiles and Majatran immigrants. They managed to bring many reforms to Beluzia, since then making it hard for the Tories to regain power, even in their new aristocratic form - the "Stanton House" of nobles instead of normal politicians. the current system of Beluzia is about shared power among aristocratic families. Because of the rich history of the Stanton family and their involvement in politics as the Tory party, they have made a sturdy opposition against the dominant "Royalist Coalition" but they have been slowly losing grip, being isolated in Beluzia, and the world, as the Royalists take over everything.

The Stantons are tied to the prestigious "Stantonshire University" which many of their relatives attend. Their cultural roots in Negunia allow them to still be respected among many conservative citizens. Though conservative, the Tories are in favour of a fully-nationalised railway system, and the banning of private schools. They believe in social conservatism (without religious influence) and statism.
