Foreign wars can also destroy public support for the government (United Kingdom in Colonial America, America in Vietnam, Soviet Union in Afghanistan, America in Iraq).

Their agenda revolves around less strict traditionalism and more equal opportunities for female Zirantians, supporting a foreign warmonger doesn't seem remotely related to their goals or ideals. Meanwhile the Ardford summit shows that the OZL is more than willing to engage the Incubus Emperor, and the more traditional and militaristic Zirantians are in fact more likely to be in support of this war as well.

I think it would more likely that the progressive party will work with the Doom King's succubi/orc/human forces than the xenophobic party. No matter what plan Simon has, it will be easier for him to work with a group that doesn't have racial prejudices against his country's people.
