| Message | The people are better placed to sort out their own affairs, taking the control over the matter in question down a level brings decision making closer to the people who use such services. Keeping it in the hands of central bureaucrats is inefficient and benefits no-one. |

| Message | You'd imagine a party that is supposedly for the people would actually try and give the people a little power every now and then. |
