Message | We call upon the FPP and NBP to eschew the DFP and their questionable politics to have such control over the executive branch of this nation. By this movement, we all stand for the individual rights on civic matters, which we believe the most important part of any of this. As the NBP had quoted of Heinlein, "Its like saying grown men have to live off of skim milk 'cause the baby can't have steak." Thus I beg of the other socially free parties; let us eschew the theocratic movement we oppose and form a coalition against such. We remind that under this proposal, each of you stands to gain more cabinetary seats, as well. |

Message | Ridiculous - the minarchist libertarian parties happily joining forces with the statist, supposedly fascist NBP? This is a strange development indeed. Perhaps the libertarian bloc simply fears the potential possibility of a shared conservative\DFP cabinet. The libertarians are merely using the NBP for their considerable voting power in order to craft the most progressive cabinet they possibly can, given that the libertarian parties do not have a majority in themselves. |

Message | We like to think of ourselves as a syncretic movement which takes the ethical judgments of Objectivism and relates them better to the biological imperative for survival, where the technocratic reforms come in. We're a little complicated but the SOL's stalwart defense of individual rights is very important to our philosophy of Creator ethos. |

Message | We will have to honor our cabinet with the DFP of course. We provide a counterbalance to the uber-libertarian head of state and the socially conservative bloc of the DFP, CPP, and TCP cannot pass legislation. |

Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
