"I move that this house condemns the Boo Party for abandoning their ideology and urges the general public to remove them from office this general election"

The people's flag is palest pink
It's not the colour you might think
White collar workers stand and cheer
The Boo government is here
We'll change the country bit by bit
So nobody will notice it
And just to show that we're sincere
We'll sing The Red Flag once a year

Open legacy, freedom of information, free software. Remember, in a minority though we must cooperate with the other parties. Had we got a stronger lead we'd probably have done much more, but when you have only a plurality you must compromise...

Open legacy can hardly be described as exclusively left wing issues, if at all. If anything, these proposals liberated the market, making them right wing.

Freedom of information - sorry, but how is that left wing?

Free software - you changed the operating system of government computers. It's hardly socialism, is it?


Cieran, the Boo Party is never going to get a genuine majority again on Mock Parliament. If you take the attitude that you can never win, you never will. You shouldn't be afraid of being defeated once in a while.

I suppose we could vote Aye on one of your train privatisation bills, then nationalise it again.

Would that help?

We can't nationalise anything for one thing. This bill prevents us from doing so ¬_¬...

No it doesn't. At no point does that bill say it's illegal for the government to buy a company.

Then there's still nothing to stop you. You could just add "Repeals the Private Property Protection Act" to the start of a nationalisation bill.
