Manifesto

The Democratic Socialist Alliance was formed in the merger between the Socialist and Democratic Labour parties following catastrophic election results. The DSA is the moderate left wing socialist party dominated by the Trades Congress and the former party of governance. As HRH Offical Opposition they continue to resist slashes in budget spending and the government of Alexander Jameson's economic reform program. Below is a list of their guiding principals:

  • To protect the rights of workers by placing all manufacture under public ownership
  • To promote the rights of the workers by allowing the formation of trades unions
  • To protect industry from competition in the way of heavy tariffs
  • To promote social equality by introducing higher taxation for the more wealthy for spending on services for the less well off
  • To work towards a Republic of Mannenland
  • To promote peace and security by cutting armanment
  • To resist calls for a nuclear weapons program

Status

  • The DSA are the official opposition to the government and control 148 out of the 614 seats in the house.
  • Strong support in the North Western Industrial Belt has given them majority control of the regions of Portland and Ternpool.
