| Hereby the SDA as promised before the election roles out its new flagship project that is called "Social for Dorvik!" In this program our party aims at making our society care for each other rather than care for only themselves. And to accomplish this we will push our program of a strong central government with enough regulation and for the government to take a more active role into subsidizing and caring for its citizens. This means Big Government.

| Message | President, We want to create a open and social society. By letting the government determine the salary cap we will be able to keep the salary's on a good level so no exploitation can take place while also keeping it at such a level that our citizen's benefit from it. By encouraging Democratic Workers Councils we give the average Dorvish worker a voice within company's themselves. While company's can ofcourse be run without a DWC we encourage the formation of them by creating small tax exemptions and small subsidies. What we hope to achieve by this is to let the average worker have a loader voice and a bigger say within company's themselves to increase equality. Article 3 and 4 are there to open up our society and make sure we care for each other. Any refugee fled theyre country for a reason and we should welcome them,care for them and see them as great assets for the Dorvish economy but also welcome them to show the world that we are a social country that cares for the people of this region and world no matter what.

| Message | President, We must disagree with the Socialists regarding wages. Certainly a one-size-fits-all approach can be harmful. Certain areas do not need as high of wages as other areas. In the large cities, certainly high wages are necessary because cost of living is high. In suburban, exurban, and rural areas similar wages are unnecessary and downright harmful to small businesses. This is why we would like to see local governments determine the hourly wages in areas under their jurisdiction. Dorvik is a very large country, with a very large population in very diverse situations. Unless the government is to constantly determine wages in the innumerable areas around Dorvik, from east to west and top to bottom, then we can only see wages determined by government fiat as harmful to the "Mittelstand". We do applaud the Socialist's encouragement of voluntary Worker's Councils. The current law regarding refugees should stay the same. The argument that the Dorvish must "care for each other" are merely attempts at gratuitous pulling of heartstrings. "Each other" implies that such people are members of society, which their illegal status makes impossible. This law basically eliminates the borders of Dorvik. The economic pie of Dorvik is only so large, and growth rates barely grow enough to care for the native population. More non-taxable illegal immigrants means the pie will be sliced thinner for everyone else. If illegal immigrants can get it, then they will be able to stay forever. While non-Volksdundorfische refugees leave for a variety of reasons, the current law should stay the same. Only those who are forced to leave due to war or other extreme circumstances should be allowed. The DLVP finds it odd that the Socialists are adamant about increasing military budgets with one hand but seem to propose opening the borders with the other. These two factors are contradictory.

| Message | President, We understand the concerns and doubt of the Volkpartei and we are happy to addres them. The regulation of wages by the central government can indeed be a very effective measure to combat inequality, While we can not contantly change wages in all the diverse regions and community's we can set a simple and effective salary cap based on income. For example, we can base this salary cap system on the income tax. And create salary's based of and changed by the income tax brackets. We think this will effectively combat inequality and treat every Dorvish roughly the same. We need to change our policy on refugees. We of the SDA understand that this topic is very sensitive. What refugees can bring is far more valuable than what they take. Yes we will lower border security to let new fresh people in. This will only benefit our nation as we have chosen in this bill not to give them financial aid they will be forced to find work and contribute to Dorvish society. This way we give them theyre new lives while we get a stronger workforce that contributes more than it costs. We want a strong military to protect our national interests and to be a frontrunner in promoting peace and security. This together with a open policy towards refugees will make us one of the frotnrunners of the modern world and will make the international community see us as a example of a free,democratic,social and open society with a heart for not only its own people but the people of the world and to show the world what a strong and friendly country we are.

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
