| Message | The Freedom Party has observed the political situation in Jelbania and is moving that to cut down on government bureaucracy, and to re-inject political interest into Jelbanian parliament, we propose that we cut the number of seats from 700 to 500, cutting 40 seats from each Province, which will save us million in operating costs and salaries a year and allow for elections to be streamlined. As well by upping the frequency of elections we will be able to allow the Jelbanian people more freedom and to better address issues sooner then the extra two years politicians have now. As well we move that political paramilitaries be allowed to exist again as direct parts of their political parties. The Freedom Party Stalwarts are heavily regulated despite the fact they stay lawful and represent the ability for the Freedom Party to organize rallies and members. We think this is a restriction of our members Freedom of Expression. Ashley Cooper Freedom Party House Leader |
