[NSG Senate] Chinese Interests Party of Elizia

FOR TOO LONG, the government and political system of Elizia have served as tools of oppression against the Chinese people.
FOR TOO LONG, the Chinese people have suffered at the hands of the Elizian National Congress and their Malay supporters.
FOR TOO LONG, Malays have had an intractable dominance of the Elizian economy and public life, leaving minority groups marginalized, oppressed and powerless.
TODAY, we are taking our country back.




OUR MANIFESTO

EQUALITY FOR ALL ELIZIANS

We demand affirmative action for Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian and aboriginal groups to reverse the effects of decades of marginalization of these groups in Elizia's economy, universities, civil society and politics. We consequently demand quotas for the best and brightest children of minority ethnicity in Elizia's universities, for the most talented men and women of minority ethnicity in managerial roles in Elizia's large enterprises, and for community leaders in the Parliament of Elizia.

We demand the institution of a democratic republic. A monarchy is a relic of the primitive past and does not reflect on Elizia's multicultural and multiethnic present. A democracy organized on republican lines is the only system worthy of a diverse, modern state.

We demand the institution of a parliamentary system. A presidential system vests too much political power in a single individual, paving the way for a return to autocratic rule no better than that of the Elizian National Congress. Elizia must be governed by a strong legislature and strong courts to serve as a check on the political power of vested interests.


JUSTICE FOR MINORITY GROUPS

We demand the arrest and trial of the leaders of the Elizian National Congress. The criminals who have been responsible for decades of murder, stigmatization and racial supremacism should not be allowed to escape punishment for their acts that have been deemed by the UN Security Council as crimes against humanity, the December Peace Accords notwithstanding.

We demand the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The government must establish an independent commission to investigate and shed light on the atrocities committed by the ENC during the Civil War and recommend actions to prevent such tragedies to ever fall upon our nation again.

We demand the permanent demilitarization of Elizia. The government of Elizia must never be allowed to maintain a standing army again, after the horrors of the Civil War and the atrocities committed by the Army under ENC leadership. Elizia must remain fully demilitarized, and the UN peacekeeping forces must remain until stability is restored.


SOCIETY OPEN TO ALL FAITHS AND ETHNICITIES

We demand the institution of compulsory trilingual education. Knowledge of Elizian Malay, English and Chinese will give our future generations new opportunities both at home and abroad, and promote tolerance and mutual understanding after decades of institutional discrimination.

We demand the codification of state secularism. Elizia is not a Muslim country. It is a country of Muslims, Buddhists, Hinduists, folk religion followers, irreligious and everything in between. The state cannot favour one religion above another and must keep itself totally separate from religious authorities and rules.

We demand that Elizia default on the ENC regime's odious debts. The debts incurred by the Elizian National Congress were the work of dictatorial strongmen who did not govern in the name of the peoples of Elizia. We therefore call for all debts incurred in the period prior to December 2015 to be declared null and void. Not a penny of Elizian money must be paid to the bankers and loan sharks that willingly did business with the ENC.


RAPPROCHEMENT WITH OUR NATURAL ALLIES

We demand Elizia's withdrawal from the Commonwealth of Nations. Elizia is a free and sovereign nation and must stand against the harmful effects that colonialism and imperialism have left on our national psyche. We owe no allegiance to Queen, only to Country.

We demand Elizia's withdrawl from the International Monetary Fund. The IMF has a long track record of unfair economic management in developing nations that has left behind a trail of inequality, social conflict and marginalization of disempowered groups. Elizia cannot continue its abusive relationship with the IMF and must immediately exit this group. We must instead seek equitable solutions from socially responsible groups such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

We demand the recognition of the People's Republic of China. Elizia's continued recognition of the rump Taipei regime harms our economic development by depriving it of the Chinese investment that has greatly enriched our neighbours.


IN THE EVENT that bigots, Malay supremacists and crony capitalists refuse to relinquish their hegemonic role in Elizian society and business, we demand full independence for the Chinese-majority Jinyu Archipelago from Elizia.

CONSTITUTION OF THE CHINESE INTERESTS PARTY

Article I - The Party

  1. The Chinese Interests Party, herein referred to as the Party, stands for the interests and promotes the equality and empowerment of the ethnically Chinese population of Elizia.
  2. The Chinese Interests Party is a popular movement with the promotion and defence of social equality, economic justice and democratic institutions as its overarching aims.
  3. The official colours of the Party are red, for good fortune and our auspicious cause, and yellow, the traditional colour of Elizia's Chinese community.
Article II - Leadership

  • The following offices shall be established and collectively known as the Leadership Council:
    a. Party leader, the official head of the party in Parliament, responsible for representing the party in talks with other parties and coalitions,
    b. Deputy party leader, responsible for hosting party elections, enforcing the party constitution and assisting the leader in their duties,
    c. Chief whip, responsible for issuing voting recommendations and maintaining internal party discipline.
  • Elections shall be held every two months using the Borda count method for deputy party leader and chief whip.
  • A party leader shall be elected by preferential voting upon the vacancy of the previous party leader for an indefinite term.
  • Any member of the party may call for a leadership spill, as long as 30 days have elapsed since the previous spill. If the party leader fails to demonstrate the confidence of two-thirds of members present and voting, they shall be compelled to resign.
  • A member of the leadership council may be removed by the agreement of the two other members and a two-thirds majority vote of the party for inactivity or gross malfeasance.
Article III - Voting Policy

  1. The chief whip shall issue one of the following voting recommendations for every bill and significant motion to be voted upon before Parliament:
    a. No recommendation: Its passage is inconsequential to the interests and beliefs of the party and Chinese community,
    b. Recommended vote: Its passage or failure would further the interests and beliefs of the party and Chinese community, and party members are therefore encouraged to vote in such a manner,
    c. Strongly recommended vote: Its passage or failure is critical for the interests and beliefs of the party and Chinese community, and party members should vote in such a manner.
  2. Party members shall not be expelled based on the exclusive basis of failure to follow the whip.
Article IV - Membership

  1. Any member of the Elizian Parliament may enter and exit the Party caucus by informing the deputy leader.
  2. The Party may expel a member from its caucus by two-thirds majority vote if the member is disruptive, accused of gross malfeasance or does not share the values of the Chinese Interests Party.

Interesting. Is the policy vis-a-vis demilitarization and ROC set in stone or possibly up to discussion? I was thinking of making a senator that isn't quite as similiar as my earlier ones and might join if those ones aren't set in stone.

They are not. The manifesto is tentative and will be changed according to the feedback of everyone in the party.

The Union Party of Elizia would like to reach out and form an alliance with the Chinese Interests Party of Elizia. Many members of our party our of Chinese descent, and we pride ourselves on our platform of protecting minorities and foreigners.

Chinese nationalists reject the distinctions between the various Sinitic languages. Any language spoken by the Zhonghua minzu is Chinese, linguistics be damned. I made my guy speak Hokkien, but I'd assume education would be either in Cantonese or Mandarin. Probably Mandarin (since Malaysian Chinese learn Mandarin).

We're open to working together on pushing through common issues, but an alliance at this point in time is premature.

Yes, I'm aware of the political aspect. Politics and facts don't always coincide though, hence the question. Should we just continue to refer to "Chinese" for IC reasons then?

Yeah, it would probably be for the best since the party would alienate many Chinese voters by favouring either language.

Does the CIP stand against or in favour of Elizia joining the Asean? The party does not appear to think highly of intergovernmental organisations, but we are nevertheless pressed to ask.

We have no beef with international organisations per se, what we object to is organisations that are imperialist in nature and bring us no benefit. ASEAN does not appear to meet these criteria, so the CIP is not currently opposed to Elizian membership in the group.

Are there any seconds or objections?
