| Message | The Blue Party seeks to implement these policies for the following reason, listed with their Article number. Article One - It is necessary that the government is aware of what nations are represented in this country. Greater control over which nations are represented can increase our nations influence on political situations outside of our borders. Article Two - It is only fair that a potential immigrant succeeds, or fails, on character, skills and morals alone. No justification exists for any other factor to be considered in the approval process. Article Three - A self-serving country is not an honourable one, one which expects returns on critical aid. Any financial or trade-wise rewards should be a voluntary contribution of the nation receiving aid from this government. Article Four - Visitors to our nation should only be subject to the processes upon arrival in our jurisdiction, not by a politically appointed office. |
