From the Desk of the Supreme Leader.
(In her dacha in Apeiron)

Comrades,
There follows a clarification and authorisation of the views suggested by Comrade Inevitable, who leads the Boo Party. I, the Supreme Leader, Boohistory, have examined these proposals and statements and found them worthy of the betterment of the People.

For many terms, the fair nation of Ostentia, and her People, have suffered under the rule of degenerate capitalist deviationists. We, the Boo Party, shall proceed to usher in an Age of Change, in which the People is prized above all else.

Yours,

Boohistory,

Supreme Leader.




From the Desk of the Leader.

Comrades
It has been many terms since the Unification Treaty was signed, and out glorious nation was formed. Since then, various has worked to establish itself in the modern political landscape. We’ve seen the creation of the Boo Health Service; an excellent health service for the People. The Northern Isles have been connected to the mainland through ground-breaking transport policies and new nations have been discovered, ushering trade into our growing nation.

However, not all has been good news. Degenerate Capitalists work even now to subvert the glorious work that various parties, including the Fruit & Veg = Perfection Party, have strived to achieve. Therefore, our glorious leader has chosen to form a new and wondrous party, in her own image, to correct this heinous transgression.

These Boo policies will be constantly pursued during our time both in and out of parliament for the purposes of bettering the lives of the People. This manifesto will only detail our outlines and beliefs. Boo Party policies shall be released separately as time goes by.




I now write the following aspects of our manifesto, which we will pursue in government.

1. Health – With the establishment of the national Boo Health Service Ostentia was made a healthier nation.

The Boo Party hopes to maintain this high standard of healthcare and perhaps even improve on it.

2. Education – The Boo Party’s aim is to boost education without decreasing its value to potential employers. In the past we have helped to ensure that everyone has a fair chance at achieving the education they deserve while making sure that the spending is not being wasted.

3. Economy – The Boo Party strives to create a fair and working economy with plenty of jobs and a high value for the Hemre

4. Law and Order – The Boo Party prize law and order, and we hope to increase spending in the area, as well as encourage the use of  alternative weaponry for police, such as non-lethal devices.

5. Transport – Transport is a major concern for the Boo Party. We have already seen the establishment of the Northern Isles Transport Initiative, which finally linked the Northern Isles to the mainland. More recently, Ostentia has seen the construction of a rail link with Empthrinia, opening the peninsular to the rest of the world and the formation of a major railway system in Nashun. The Boo Party hopes to continue this legacy started by previous establishments and create a better, more environmentally friendly transport scheme for everyone.

7. Environment – The Boo Party’s dedication to Transport is echoed by our environmental concerns. The Boo Party recognises a need for environmentally friendly and efficient transport systems. By focussing on rail systems and encouraging other forms of alternative travel, we believe we can do just this.

8. Foreign Affairs – The Boo Party shall strive to ensure good relations with all nations. We also hope to establish various trade relations with other countries.

I, Inevitable, shall promise stand for the position of Prime Minister in the name of the Boo Party. We promise to constantly create policies on matters of importance and do all we can to enact them. In the name of the Supreme Leader, Boohistory, we shall rule Ostentia effectively.

Remember; A vote for Boo, is a vote for You.

Yours,

Boohistory,

Leader of the Boo Party.

Why does a letter supposedly by Boohistory contain the phrase "I, Inevitable"? :huh:

Not a member, but I used to be, and nothing has changed, so I can pretty much answer that :P. As a communistic party, the Boo Party tends to be socially pretty liberal. They supported the bill to legalise abortion as well as legislation to legalise same-sex marriage. In general, there is a lot of comparison between the DLSP and Boo Party, we we split from them about a year ago. We're far more socially liberal, but more economically central. Also, the Boo Party hates substance abuse, (drugs, alcohol, tobacco), in that respect they're pretty authoritarian...

Well, I don't think you can really call our abortion laws liberal...


But then again I believe that issues such as abortion are matters of individual conscience and should not be party policy.

This manifesto was written before anyone knew what Social Affairs meant.

I really should write another one.

As Cieran has already said, the Boo Party are very liberal with that sort of social stuff.

I'm totally in favour of Ostentia's current abotion laws, and I can't see any problem with homosexuality (incidentally, if you disagree with the latter, I would love to enter a discussion with you about it).

Religion's one I go a little hazy on. I do think people have a right to believe whatever they want. On the other hand, I thoroughly oppose proselytism and believe in total seperation of church and state. This includes schooling. I would happily, and indeed plan to this term, ensure that all schools follow the same curriculum, including religious ones.

Religion has no place in the governing of a country.

I also have very authoritarian views on what I deem to be "Extremist Religion". I did, in fact, attempt to outlaw it at one point.

[I'm not guessing you're religious here, it's just that Abortion and Homosexuality are two big topics on American Conservative agenda, with religion being another one.]

I'm not against homosexuality. I believe that sex is a private thing and should stay in the bedroom.

I am against same-sex "marriages" as they undermine the institution of marriage, which is procreation and family.

Are there any parties in this parliament which are fairly socially traditionalist?

Lib Dems.

Ignore the name. They're more like the US Republican Party than anything else.

Also, since Same-sex couple adoption is legal (in Ostentia) Homosexual marriage still has the potential to contain the marriage aspect. Furthermore, Married couples gain tax benefits. It's unfair that this would only extend to Heterosexual couples (hell, I'd call it unfair alltogether, but my beliefs get a little wonky at this point).

I also oppose same-sex adoption on the basis that it isn't natural and that a child needs both a father and a mother.

I support tax benefits for homosexual married couples but only as long as they have children.

I'm not too bothered about homosexuals whining about "fairness" to be honest.

I thought we legalised Gay Marriage ages ago by a huge majority.

Natural is undefinable and thus cannot be used as a valid argument.

You're trying to be a politician. You have to be bothered.

Homosexuals did not choose to be that way, it's just how they are. Discriminating against them, even in this small way is still discrimination.

Not that it really matters. The legislation you oppose has already been passed and, frankly, isn't likely to be repealed. I just like to try to convince you otherwise :)

I'm also not about to remove marriage benefits. I cynically suspect it will seriously damage many relationships.
