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

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. |

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. |
