Conserative Morality

Broadcast from Channel 50- CM news:
As you are all aware, our party elections have been going on for quite some time now. Well, every party has announced it's candidate has announced it's candiadate except for the now essentially destroyed Communist party! We'll give you a rundown if you haven't been paying attention to politics for a while, or if you've just become of voting age!

The Civilis Party:
Nos es solvo , quod sic vadum nos subsisto

The Civilis party is seen by many to take a radical stance to say the least. They've been the underdogs for the past few years, although about two centuries ago they were still popular. With the rising concern about Conserative morality's culture and the influence of foreign cultures, the Civilis party has had a recent rise in popularity.

Stances:

Abortion: Strongly anti-abortion, believing the child's life to be of utmost importance.

Budget: They favor an increased budget to support the hard-pressed police force, and a more interventionist stance in the modern world.

Cloning: The Civilis party has not taken any official stance on cloning, although it's candiadate, Romulus Sturn, has been rumored to hold a pro-cloning stance.

Foreign Imports: The Civilis party prefers a high tariff to discourage foreign products that are "Invading" CM. This has been pointed out as lunacy because of CM's heavy reliance on low Tariffs to both encourage trade and provide the government with it's main source of income.

Human Rights: They believe that all humans have rights, and CM should intervene in other countries to insure said rights. This has been percepted as imperialist by many people.

Immigration: They support a no-ousiders allowed in CM, other then Ambassadors and the like. They want to purge the entiire nation of those born in foreign countries, and have their children raised by willing CM parents.

Official Language: The Civilis party has declared it's main goal is to bring back Latin as the official message rather then English.

Taxes: The Civilis party has declared it's want to bring back the income tax (Introduced during the British-Moralite war, and repealed immediatly afterwards) by amending the Articles.

Tariffs: They want to bring the tariff even higher to discourage trade coming into CM, but subsidize goods coming out of CM. This is seen as absolute Lunacy by much of the population for it's reliance on foreign food.

The World Assembly: The Civilis Party sees the WA as little more then a tool to force nations into intervening where they have no desire to- a popular view among moralites.

Percent of moralites in this party:
Lower-class(0-40,000 Tiosles a year):80% or 20% of the total vote
Middle-Class(40,000-100,000 Tiosles a year): 5% or 3% of the total vote
Upper-Class: 0.5% of the vote or 0.075% of the total vote

The Democratic party:
The majority is ALWAYS right.
The Democratic party is a radical small party, advocating the destruction of the articles and the creation of a purely democratiic system. The Democratic party has never held more then 3% of the vote, and remains unpopular. They are essentially the pure embodiment of tyranny by majority.

Stances:
Whatever the majority says.

Percent of moralites in this party:
Lower-class: 5% or 1.25% of the total vote

The Unity Party:
Together we shall be free, or together we die!

The Unity party is one of CM's larger parties. The Unity party is based on freedom, and small government. It has won the las two elections, and is expected to win this election as well.

Stances:

Abortion: Each territory should decide for itself.

Budget: Lower the budget. We're spending enough all Ready.

Cloning: Cloning, while not possible as you see in the movies yet, is to be supported. Everything created by the cloning process (Including humans) have the same rights as anyone else.

Foreign Imports: Foreign imports encourage compitition. Therefore, we should leave those goods untouched.

Human Rights: All humans have rights, but it's only our job to prevent the government from taking them away in OUR country.

Immigration: free immigration for everyone, as long as they learn English or Latin.

Official language: Leave as English until more Moralites use Latin.

Taxes: We haven't had any in centuries, we shouldn't have them now.

Tariffs: Leave it where it is, it's the government's only source of income.

The World Assembly: A corrupt interventionist wanna-be world government. NOT something CM should be in. Thank God we're not.

Percent of people in this party:
Lower-class: 2% or 0.5% of the total vote
Middle-class: 60% or 36% of the total vote
Upper-class: 55% or 8.25% of the total vote

Candidate: Current President Gaius McDermott

The National Power Party:
Sulum vir est par , ita they vadum subsisto sic nobis.

The National Power party (Abbriviated as the NPP) shares the strong belief in freedom that the Unity party has. However, they believe that the (Admittidly) weak National Government needs to grow.

Stances:

Abortion: The chilld is a human at fourteen weeks old. After that, it's illegal.

Budget: The National government needs more money. For years we've had nothing, we need a stronger, but inobtrusive government.

Cloning: Let the territories decide that one.

Foreign imports: If they're willing to pay our tariffs, let them come through.

Human Rights: Rights are granted by the government, not by just being born. As such, it is our job to preserve said rights.

Immigration: Strict restrictions on immigration. These foreigners have been the cause of many of our trouble, we should keep as many out as possible.

Official Language: English for international communication, for the language inside the nation, Latin.

Taxes: Bring back a few war taxes to provide more money for the government.

Tariffs: High tariffs for both income and to keep forign goods out.

The World Assembly: A good IDEA, but too corrupt for CM to join.

Speech by President Gaius McDermott Pug Square, 4:00 PM:

"As you all know, I'm not an elaborate speaker. The other parties, although they may be well intentioned, are absolutly insane. If we are to stand free, we must stand united! Not in religion, or ideology, but as Moralites! Not by oppressing the minority, or by forcing the government into everything, but by standing tall and free! I will make no promises I cannot hold- rather, I only promise to stand tall in my beliefs, and to not let freedom die without me! *Applause*

Speech by Vincent Aruns, Pug Sqaure 9:00 PM:
"(Translated into English) No true and upstanding moralite should stand for the absolutly disgusting way CM is being run! Foreigners run up and down the streets, like dogs let loose upon a piece of savory meat they neither appriciate, nor deserve! These other, traitorous dogs would have us forget our past! Remembering the foreign British who pervaded our culture three centuries ago! Lunacy! Ravings of madmen bent on helping these freeloaders! I will not allow such corrupt deals to happen! I will destroy the current mockery of an immigration system and allow no foreign born man to come into CM! *Loud cheers and applause*"

1314 looked upon the sleeping man in disgust. How could such a wretched creature be allowed to live? 1314 raised his pistol in anger. Yes, good, kill him! Then move to the next candiadate, and the next! Anarchy will start, and these foolish humans will turn upon THEMSELVES! 1314 struggled aganst 'the voice' as he called it, for control. His arm would bring the gun up to the man's head, then back down. Up and down. If one did not know about 1314's condition, one might think him insane. Well, moreso then usual. "I think I heard something!"

"Just your imagination Gaius, I'm sure it's nothing." A voice called out in reply.
"No,no, I'm checking Vincent's room." Shit. 1314 quickly leaped out the window, but not before leaving his "Mark" At the scene. Always good to keep them scared. 1314 thought as he made his way through the dark alleyways...
