How do I get my political freedoms up?

The only issues I've really seen that deal with political freedoms are the election one and the one about "Not So Much Dictatorship". What should I do on certain Issues to get political freedoms up and keep civil rights down?

First off, I don't know why you'd want civil rights down, but I'd assume you'd need to create some extra questions to do that.

(this is probably better in issues, but here's an answer)

Some of the best ones for gainin PFs are:

- Not so much dictatorship, Affermative choice - it only works when you have low PFs already, though.
- Corporations Demand Political Say - Pro Corporations - Also raises economy, probably hurts CF though.
- Harry Potter Censorship, free speech - I've noticed that the free-speech choice helps PFs as well as CFs.
- Nazi Rally, Allow the rally - Rather obvious one if you ask me.
- Compulsory Democracy, Optional Voting - DO NOT pick the compulsory voting choice, it hurts PFs.
- Appoint a Judge, Let the people elect him - Once again, rather obvious.
- Too Much Yaking, Free Speech choice - Really, anything involving free speech is gonna help PFs.
- "Unfair" Tax Burden, let people decide where there money goes - Another fairly obvious one.
- AI Rights - Not sure which choice (probably give them rights), but one of these probably helps PFs

Mistakes not to make:

- Election Terms - Dismiss this issue, there is no choice that boosts PFs.
- Death Penalty On Agenda - Allowing the election to proceed will reduce PFs, so will blocking it. Dismiss.
- Diving for Dollars - DO NOT block the removal, it hurts PFs.

General Notes:

- Allowing free speech will almost always boost PFs.
- Allowing the death penalty will always lower PFs.
- On issues where no choice is apparent, giving in to protestors has the most likely chance to raise PFs.

Hope this helps ;)

Yeah, Nal, this is stuff I could have come up with if I thought about it while staring at each issue in question, but a list like that is pretty brilliant.
