Description[?]:
The common sense party has a platform that centers around common sense. No ridiculous policies simply to spite other political parties. Some of our philosphies: Somebody acting stupidly in a matter that doesn't involve others is no threat to others, therefore let them act stupidly. Government is big, inefficient, and tends to draw corruption. Therefore let the consumers do the governing. A company that doesn't owe up to their standards, doesn't get their business. Don't get the government involved in economic affairs. Environmental regulations and fines are pointless. They're too small to effect most companies. However, cleaning up a contamination is extremely expensive and resource consuming. Since the land belongs to private individuals, make the company come clean up their mess. Our underlying belief is that we are all capable individuals well qualified for the task of managing our own lives and finances. Therefore we try to get the government involved as little as possible. Since consumers are in complete control of their finances, if a company/store/etc: discriminates, pollutes, provides low quality products, or anything else to aggravate consumers, we will make them answer to the consumers and individuals. Courts will be used only to maintain the rights of individuals (which also involves punishing those that violate them), not the regulation of individuals. |

Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
