Classical Monarchist Party Headquarters [NSG Senate]

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=239510&view=unread#unread

On behalf of the NIFP I'd like to encourage all members of this party to vote NAY on the current NSA bill up for vote in the senate.

No Classical Monarchist will vote yes on that bill.

Well voting no would be better than not voting yes.

Government Finance and Accounting Act
Drafted by: Ujh Uhj (LFP)
Co-sponsors:

REALIZING that the nation is on shaky ground after weak legislation that threatens economic collapse has been hastily passed,
FURTHER REALIZING that there is no legislation regarding the privatization of institutions and services, nor is there even an established currency,
BOTHERED by the fact that there is no way of knowing or keeping track of national statistics that would be incredibly beneficial to this Senate,
APPALLED that the Senate has gone about its business with such haste and with no regard to the state of things as defined above, and that it has passed reckless and harmful legislation,

[Irredento]

Hi everyone. I sincerely apologise for my absence these past weeks. Things going on in real life for me right now have meant that I just can't be online as much as before and so I hereby announce my decision to step down as Chairman of the Party and leave it up to our Lord President Old Tyrannia to hold an election for the new Chairman. I trust that Deputy Chairman Diopolis will be able to handle things in the meantime.

Again, I apologise that it has come to this, but I'm essentially stepping down for similar reasons to our original Chairman and Founder. I intend to be around for votes and so on when I can, but running the party as before will be left to someone new.

As my final act, I would like to endorse Diopolis' candidacy, should he choose to stand.

Sucks. I would run but I don't have the time nor will to do something this important, so I will be content with watching who may run and maybe even voting.

Ah shame, but It's understandable, can't spend all day plying when things IRL are moreimportant /interesting.

Youve certainly done a great job and have been a grand ally to us in NIFP.

Aw. I liked your chairmanship.

And let me be the first to offer to run in the election. I am on every day, hold views highly compatible with the Party Platform, and can appease all the Conservatives and Fascists here.

I would like: priorities of your agenda, economic views, foreign policy views, whether you intend to continue the stalhem alliance, your policies for gaining new members(if any), any thing else you feel needs mentioning.

Priorities of my agenda:A little vague a question.
Economic Views:Corporatism, State Capitalism, and most typical Italian Fascist economic views.
Foreign Policy Views:Favor a strong military, interventionism and on occasion imperialism.
Continue the Stalhelm Alliance:Yes. I shall continue relations with the Fascists and try to improve them further.
Policies for gaining new members:Appeal to Conservatives and Fascists and encourage them to join, making the party social and economic factors more Conservative while holding to Monarchist views.

Economic policy shall be the priority of a TUSSR chairmanship and a bargaining chip with other parties shall be similar Conservative viewpoints.

I like your foreign policy, with the exception of imperialism. Neocolonialism is more subtler anyway . I'm opposed to the continuance of Stanhelm however and I'd like to the Classical Monarchists affirm their more conservative heritage rather than become a NatImp-lite party. I can't agree with your economic policy. Here's my question: how willing would you be to work with Prog-Cons?

If you don't like my economic policy than don't do business with economic Fascists.

And I would only work with Prog-Cons that do not push for abortion and that respect Corporatist viewpoints.

2:Corporatism is not inherently state capitalist. I could give a few examples, but Corporatism can vary in definitions. Skim through this to see a larger picture than I could give. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism

[Wolfmanne]

Having read the article about corporatism, I can't agree with it. I do agree with the suppression of trade unionism, but I am a neoliberal and I can't support it because of how it could potentially ruin capital. I think that employment and a welfare state can offset the damage of capitalism just fine.
