| Message | This is empowering the people! Under the current regime every walk of life is controlled by the state. Why is the state more qualified than the so called super-rich? Your regime ahs merely replaced one elite with another. The state is the elite grouip oppressing all Kanjoran's. Support this, make Kanjoran's citizens nto subjects. Shareholders and employees not tenants and workers. Let's drag Kanjor into the modern era and out of this quasi feudal state! Margaret Stonemason Leader of the Kanjoran Centre Party |
