| The Conservative party finds the the Exchange rate should be allowed to fluctuate moderately as we deserve a free market. However, we should have the power to intervene when necessary just in case.

| Message | The PSP believes that you should lower the retirement age. A lower retirement age means a lower unemployment rate. It would also remove old inefficient workers from the workforce, and allow the young and inexperienced, but intelligent and able bodied, more job opportunities, and a secure future in this nation. John J. Johnson, The People's Socialist Party vice chairman |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
