A Matter of Trust*issues*

Postby Elycadia » Sat Feb 07, 2015 10:17 pm

im in for a Left-Wing Utopia political stance

so here are the arguments.

The Issue

A new survey conducted by private organizations has found out that confidence in Elycadia's political system is at an all-time low. Politicians and political think tanks are scrambling to find a solution.
The Debate

1."Isn't it obvious?" states Mark Smith, host of a political talk show. "Politicians get away with things that would land us regular folk in jail. Corruption, fraud; you name it, they do it - and with no consequences. How about you make it harder for them to get away with their crimes by enforcing tough jail time. Maybe then you'll earn back the public's trust."

2."It's probably because we're constantly seeing the same people in power over and over again," argues Howard Mistletoe, a columnist for the Elycadia Inquirer. "We should shake things up a bit and bring some fresh faces into the political game. Let's introduce term limits on all public offices. That'll definitely increase confidence in our political system!"

3."I couldn't help but notice that confidence was particularly lower among women," notes Margaret Clinton, editor of Bonjour magazine. "It's time we rid this country of its old boys club by introducing gender quotas. Mandate that women must hold at least 50% of all public offices in Elycadia; everyone knows women are so much more trustworthy than men."

4."People don't trust us?" gasps Tobias Suzuki, one of your many advisers. "Then it's time we earned it back! Let's get out there among the people and show everybody that politicians are just like them! Be totally transparent; personal blogs, documentaries, 24 hour TV shows. Yes, it may cost a bit, but if the public know everything about you, they'll have to trust you!"

5."If the people don't trust us then we'll make them," suggests Jake True, your military aide-de-camp, slamming his fists on the table. "We'll just use force and intimidation to win back support. Some may call it brainwashing or terrorism, but I call it love. As a plus, it should be really easy to implement!"

im really confused
