To All Political Party Leaders...

[Grub]

I need you to write up a brief summary as to what your party believes in and why nations should join your party. I am looking for something around a paragraph.

Once you are done, please post it in here.

Thanks,
Grub

This is from our chairman according to the:

The Radical Party believes first of all in the Culture of 10000 Islands. The active members of this region make it great. Those people that go to University, that run businesses, that spend time in Taco Island. Our goal as a party is to increase participation in this forum by reducing the large barriers to personal freedom by giving grants to new nations for participating in the culture of this region. We want all active nations to be able to follow their dreams and start a business, and get an island on the map. In the future we want to cement alliances with other regions by creating alliances where we can move currency from region to region, and also partake in a multi-regional University system. We are the party of the people, and giving people the freedom to do more. We recognize that while freedom is a responsibility, it is also a gift. We are the party of giving that gift.

The United Progressive Party (UPP) has long held the collective position of innovator within 10KI. We seek to make better the existing way of life in 10KI, through electing representatives to the Co9 and encouraging AoN participation. Whilst the party has a consensus amongst its members in the directions we would like to take 10KI, we have a broad membership in terms of RL politics, as the UPP seeks to transcend such irrelevent divisions when the concern and well-being of the region is our main driving force. We seek total equality, and better representation from an economic yet individual perspective. We have always considered the economy to be the backbone of the Modern manifestation of 10KI, and thus it features strongly in our manifesto. We look to work within the current power structures of 10KI, although feel strongly that such structures ought to reflect the times, and do not consider 'amendment' to be a dirty word. Lastly, the UPP is the people's party; we are a truly democratic institution holding internal elections on candidate selection, and policy development and this is reflected not only in the number of successful senators and delegates the UPP has produced but also in our endurance as a party. We are the only party to have fielded a candidate in every election in the last 2 years.

The ACN believes in our region and our founder. We welcome responsible change, but not change for change sake. We believe that not only should we be targeting new nations, but we should keep them. We encourage activity in the various areas of our region without forcing it. It is also our opinion that those who wish to cause trouble should not be tolerated nor kept around.

[Grub]

Thanks, everyone!

This looks like it could be useful for new members to help see what party suits them. Stickying...

The Democrats, stand as a self-explanatory political party. We want strong democracy in the region. But what we need to do is achieve this democracy. XKI nations face many different economical aspects, such as fiscal policy. We believe that it is fair to raise taxes, for the richer more wealthier citizens, and lower taxes for the poorer citizens, which need help. What we could also do to help nations is actually lower the amount of spending made by governments, to reduce the risk of standing in debt. Another aspect we face in the economical world is Healthcare. The Democrats believe that a universal health service should be put into place, giving free healthcare to every citizen. Although, it is not just economical factors we face as a region, social and foreign affairs matters are strong aspects for XKI. Please do refer to our message, which allows you to read what else The Democrats propose, as a political party.

TIP stands for Defending, Justice, Peace and Tacos for All! Not to mention Recruiting. Actually recruiting is our motto. Also Spamming is the name of the game, if you're a spammer then this political party is the one for you!

[Klington]

The Other Party (TOP) stands for everything that is not being stood for at the current moment. We are a strongly pessimistic, watchdog party. We take issues that are being ignored and thrust them to the forefront of the stage. Our goals include constantly aspiring and inspiring all Islanders to new heights and constantly being on the heels of the government to do better, achieve higher, and move faster than before. In office, we will function as any democratically elected individual would: by doing his job determined by the will of the people. Outside of office we will be a lobbying group for the people the likes that no one in the islands has seen before. In summation, what is democracy without choice? What is democracy without the fear of a real threat constantly on your heels to catch you when you screw up? It could be many things, but true democracy, it is not. We are here to ensure the success of the entirety of the 10000 Islander Government-- in and out of office. Thank you.

MSPP? What is the MSPP? It is where you go when there is no where else you want to go. It is the land of the free and inebriated. The bower of the politically undefined. The altar of Mayor Shelter and his undying benevolence. It is the house that food and drink made. and most of all, it is where anyone, in or out of the party, can come to talk and have a good time. That is what MSPP is. (may vary based on experience)
