THE HELVETIC REPUBLICAN PARTY

[Merlinsclaw]

Spoiler: Reading Music

The Helvetic Republican Party is a political push-group within City Twenty-Four primarily focused on spearheading progressive reforms through the Combine State. The purpose of the Party is to appeal to the Civil Administration for the creation of a "People's Congress" under the Civil Administration and its elected-state representatives.

I.
The Civil Administration, as a governing body, should run at its peak efficiency for the security of the Combine State. Therefore, to run at peak efficiency, the government should enable an People's Congress to serve as an advisory or legislative body for the government.

II.
The Helvetic Republican Party will immediately encourage the government to conduct State Representative elections.

III.
The Helvetic Republican Party seeks to appoint the State Representatives as senior members of the "People's Congress" with four-inducted Representatives serving as the senior members, and the "head-representative" - The elected with the most votes, to serve as the head of the Congress.

IV.
The Helvetic Republican Party seeks for the implemented People's Congress to serve as either an advisory board or a legislative body. An advisory board would solely raise issues to the Civil Administration Board, while a legislative body would entail minor legislative duties.

V.
In the event that the People's Congress would be granted the position of a legislative body, the Helvetic Republican Party will pursue the ratification of a constitution for the Congress. The Congress' constitution would outline their duties while also proscribing interference with the Administration or Union Forces.

VI.
The Helvetic Republican Party will seek to encourage the Civil Administration to host proactive events for the populace. Celebrations, parades, work-fairs, seasonal fairs, work drives, and other Union-sponsored events will all be encouraged by the Party.

VII.
The Helvetic Republican Party will petition for the legalization of gambling for authorized businesses.

VIII.
The Helvetic Republican Party will fully cooperate with the Collaborator's Party, and does not seek to impede on its duty to the State.

IX.
The Helvetic Republican Party supports the relaxation of regulations on non-union branded goods.

X.
The Party will fully back the expansion of assistance programs for the populace, including the construction of educational facilities within Geneva.

The Party will have a singular president, with the rest of the party being full-fledged and equal members.

[Equinox]

Unsure why this thread has come back; as it was originally created pre-version one. It also seems to be steaming a lot of arguments, and a lot of, well.. sad-to-see comments regarding the server itself. To allow all to cool down, I'll be locking the thread for a couple of days, after this, I'll reopen. If it continues, I'll lock for good.

Open this thread.

 

[Imperator RAD-X]

I've taken the liberty of re-opening this thread, and I'll prune most of the comments to clean it up from previous altercations so that Merlin and anyone interested in the HRP can have a bit of fresh and clear air. Please treat each other with respect as last I remembered January was five months ago and it seems excessive to dwell on something that just wasn't a comforting experience for anyone.

Have a fine day, guys.

 

[BUSH WOOKIE]

I wonder if the HRP will be reorganised, or not.
