I responded to the below and then noticed Sirocco's warning, so I deleted my post and created a new thread.

This brings up a good point... why are left-wing views generally the more humanitarian ones? Shouldn't both views be presented in a fair manner?
Why are right-wing views always better for your economy?
Because right-wing views are usually better for your economy (tax cuts are the only exception that I know of) IRL.
Same with left wing views. They are more humanitarian IRL.

On the other hand the political freedoms are by far biased to the right. There are for old PF issues. Two of them, the vote buying and compulsatory voting dupe leftist newbs into thinking that we raise our PF when we in fact kill them, and the death penalty isssue is unfair without a left-wing counterpart.

When I am done the my war tree take a wild guess at what I intend to do.

I agree that this is rather goofy. There are leftest policies that hurt rights and help the economy, just as there are rightist policies that help rights and hurt the economy. Or some issues even do both. Go figure.

In the issues I have written, left-wing decisions improve your economy too. But no word on whether they have been approved or not. I guess not. :cry: Which is a shame, because some were pretty good, even if I say so myself. I was particularly proud of the one on windfarms and planning regulations. Sigh.

It is possible to have no private sector and a frightening economy, you just have to make sure that the government handles all business.

You as a mod should know that there is a trememdous back-log. There were (over a thousand wasn't it?) and only 30 or so new ones since the mod interface was installed.
