| Message | Fellow Baltusians, Our party represents honest hard working people and acknowledges their entitlement to security and respects their right to worship. We believe this nation should be set up to defend itself properly in times of emergency and that we should respect and do all we can for our armed forces personnel and veterans. We are also the party for cutting government spending, lowering taxes, deregulating and simply getting the government of people's backs. We privatise where possible and promote free trade where we can to boost the economy, creating jobs and investment along the way. We are the party for people who want to stand on their own two feet, the party for patriotism and good old fashioned Baltusian values. This is a snapshot of the Patriotic Party policies as we head towards the next election. We believe they are the right way forward for the country.

| Message | Thank you for your input DR party. As this is my manifesto there will be issues we agree on and others we don't - or we'd be the same party. I'm glad to see that if we worked in government together then 60 per cent of my policies would be agreeable and we'd get a lot of work done that way! Colonel Black |
