Platform

Economy

1. We will keep income taxes low to grow the economy but not do away with taxes all together or lower them to the point where government can not provide essential services.

2. We will not raise min. wage as doing so would hurt the economy. We will not abolish it either as not having a base salary would open things up for abuse.

3. Abolish property tax as it is an unnecessary burden.

National defence
1. We believe in a strong national defence doing whatever is necessary anywhere in the world to preserve our status and our way of life.

Crime
1. The death penalty will be legal for crimes involving murder, rape, child molestation, and possibly drunk drivers who kill others.

2. Mandatory min. sentencing for most crimes with criminals required to serve at least 80% of their sentence.

3. Prison is not a resort! we will work to remove luxury items such as t.v. and a/c from prisons so that prison is truly a punishment.

4. The right to own a fire arm by law abiding citizens will be protected at all costs.

Social Issues
1. Religion has no place in government or places such as public schools. We will work to ensure this remains the case.

2. Abortions will be legal for the 1st two trimesters.

3. Stem cells will recieve full government funding.

4. gay marriage will be legal in all cases.

5. Porn will not be regulated by the government.

Common sense ='s minimum wage, death penalty, guns :confused:

Will it legal to pray/display religious symbols(crucifix necklaces, Hasidic judaism clothes/hair, Head scarves) in school?

All those things will be allowed. As will prayer so long as they keep it to themselves. Public or mass prayer would not be allowed in public schools

Not much common sense involved in these propositions...
You'll very soon end up with an alienated, undereducated, easily fanatised public and an economy that can't sustain the country.

where do you get this from?

should be noted if anyone doesnt agree with everything completely, let me know and we can work on it. The platform isnt set in stone.

where do you get this from?

No taxes = no money that could be spent on education, no money spent on protecting regular citizens from anything from crime to homelessnes, which will result in a small very rich part of the population and a large very poor one.
No labour laws = Manchester capitalism, which has led to communistic revolts in the past.
Uncontrolled economy = only interested in making as much profit as possible as fast as possible, will not be able (or interested in) providing the necessities for the country, as they tend to be less profitable.

Pretty good platform. Definately one of the best out of all the alternatives available in the 4th NS General Election if it makes it in.

I disagree with the National defence. I think that a strong standing army is in need, but only should be used in what can truly be defined as defence. No strike first policy whatsoever.

Common sense, n. : A set of opinions, handed down for generations upon generations, that have generally become accepted as 'true' and such are assumed to be truth.


So, what is the level of tax that allows gov't help and helps the economy?

The level is a varying amount depending on so many factors it was best he didn't even try to specify a level.

True. But I'd like something in the middle more. Good defense, but not really ever use it in a traditional war. That is to mainly use military for small scale actions.

Other than that the only other things I have a problem with I can get around rather easily.

Check out the Human Rights Party.

I don't think thats effective. Its better to have a military which cannot be beat in a conventional war. That way, we can ensure that our nation can never be truly invaded.

Well yes, I'm saying still have a nice standing army that either can't be beat in a standard conventional war, or will only be reduced to a draw, or will inflict so many casualties against the enemies when losing it makes them winning a moot point.

But that's only for defense. The majority of the time the only actions, or offensive actions, will be small scale conflicts. Unless standard war is necessary.

So where is standard war defined as necessary? I think we should eliminate offensive actions, as loopholes for offensive action are far and wide, as shown throughout history.

However, as said before, I agree with this party on everything but that. Its won my support.
