| Message | Whats with your party and decentralization? The Central government has to have some control in order for a country function properly. |

| Message | We feel that government functions need to be exercised at the lowest level possible, there are a couple of reasons for this 1/ efficency: small organisations are generally more efficent than larger ones. 2/freedom: the beauty of a devolved federal system is that if you dont like the laws in one Province you can move to another. With a highly centralised system that isnt an option. (ooc the philosophy of the party is loosely based on distributism and mutualism, the wikipedia articles give a decent introduction to these if u r interested) |
