Message | This is nothing short of alarming. We warned the electorate that the new communist movement that plagues this country would begin to have a sizable impact if something was not done to stop them. But the people did not heed our words - already, the communists hold 73 seats - the NBP is the largest party in Dranland, and the DFP may be soon to follow for all we know. The proposals that the communists put forth indicate a radical, revolutionary far-left agenda. They want drastic change - not sensible reform. They want to destroy existing establishment and concentrate power and authority into the hands of the federal government. They want the federal government to rule every aspect of this country, including the economy. The Reform Party will not stand for this tyranny. Something must be done to stop the communists and it has to be done now, if we value our customs, culture, religion, freedoms, traditions, and institutions. The communists care not for any of these things which make up the fabric of our society, and which have done so for hundreds of years in this great nation's history, setting precedent for the years to come. They want only to replace everything with ideology and a central government with unlimited size and power. |

Message | And why does the Reform Party always suppose its precious social evolution of tradition and standards is finished already? If we do not adapt to these changing economic and technological paradigms then we will perish in our tribal-agrarian religions of intolerance and social backwardsness. No more class, race, or 'tradition'. It is time for the full cooperation of Dranland's citizenry; we will bury the inefficient 'market' with scientific methodology and analysis, not emotive lotteries of stock market or investment. |
