Political parties of Saidercray

Saidercray is a democracy where the people are represented mainly by the following parties (all quotations are taken from their current platforms):

Green Democratic Party

The GDP is a small party mainly dealing with environmental issues. It's lead by Julia Pount and has gained 7% in the last election.

• The GDP on democracy: "The GDP supports a representative democracy."
• The GDP on domestic policy: "Saidercray´s people can only live in harmony with a sane environment. We are part of the nature. This fact creates an eternal unity of the environment and of us. If we ignore the interests of the environment, the day will come where the environmental problems are to big to be solved by us."
• The GDP on economy: "An uncontrolled economy is greedy for direct financial success and therefore tends to ignore the effects their actions have on the long run, such as e.g. polluting the environment. We aren't in favour of nationalizing the economy, but economic freedom must be limited to a point which guarantees that this freedom doesn't cause long-term damages and that a sustainable development can take place."
• The GDP on foreign policy: "Many forget that wars do not just kill people, wars also kill plants and animals and turn fertile landscapes into deserts. Protecting the environment is a worldwide task which can only be solved if the nations stick together and concentrate on fulfilling this aim. A global committee for environment shall be installed to coordinate the nations' environmental policies."
• The GDP on the UN: "The UN is an important platform for Saidercray to present environment-conscious ideas. By resolutions supporting environmentalist ideas, the world can be made fight against the current ecocide."

Liberal Union of Saidercrayan Capitalists

The LUSC, Saidercray´s only explicitely capitalist party, is a averagely strong party which has gained 17% in the last election. Its chairman is Jack O´Connor.

• The LUSC on democracy: "The LUSC is for both economical and political freedom, and democracy is the most politically free system that doesn't lead into chaos."
• The LUSC on domestic policy: "Saidercray's society must become more efficiency-orientated. Social welfare must be shortened drastically. The LUSC supports privatizing as much as possible to give people new chances for achieving fortune."
• The LUSC on economy: "It is arrogant if the state thinks that it has to decide what people do with the money they have gained. Trusting into the intelligence of the people and the might of the good virtue freedom, we believe that the people are the ones to decide what they do with their money. A free market without state interference is best for everyone, because the people control it by their own consumer behaviour. Competition is to be supported as it encourages people to work as good as they can because that´s the only way to be better than the other competitors."
• The LUSC on foreign policy: "In the modern world, competition doesn´t only mean competiton between different corporations in one country. Due to globalization, competition has overcome national borders. We support this development because it offers a much larger variety of products to the people and it has equipped competition with a new intensity. We furthermore realize that ressources are limited, but that many ressources we could use are wasted because they are in economically weak countries. To remain successful, Saidercray must guarantee that those ressources are used effectively and that Saidercray has access to those ressources."
• The LUSC on the UN: "Since there are UN resolutions which control the economy and limit everyone's economic freedom, the LUSC isn't interested in a membership. The UN represents the old idea that states are the most important factors in policy, yet they aren't, but transnational corporations are."

Multinational Party for Immigrants

The MPI represents the interest of the immigrants in Saidercray. It's lead by Divyajyoti Mandal and has gained 7% in the last election.

• The MPI on democracy: "Democracy is a fundementally good system. It is based on the idea that all men are equal and that people chose by whom they are represented and who reigns over them for a certain time. Also immigrants living in Saidercray without having Saidercrayan citizenship are effected by the government's decisions. For this reason, we want that all mature immigrants who live in Saidercray and have lived there for a year or longer get franchise and eligibility."
• The MPI on domestic policy: "Many of the people living in Saidercray are either immigrants or people whose ancestors immigrated to Saidercray. Every single one of those people brings with him a different culture with new aspects. Immigrants can enriche Saidercray's society with their new ideas, their new ways of dealing with something, and of course with their culture. To be able to profit by all these chances, Saidercray must open its borders more than it does today, and must extend the integration assistance for immigrants. But it must not try to assimilate the immigrants to the traditional Saidercrayan culture, for this would destroy all the advantages which immigrants can give."
• The MPI on economy: "The MPI is in support of cultural dialogue and of cultural exchange. Globalization is a mean to achieve this cultural exchange and dialogue, as long as it isn't mainly guided by the financial interests of corporations. Globalization, if it shall have a positive effect on cultural exchange, must first at all result in peace and appreciation of the different cultures, not so much in profit. Saidercray's national economy has to make it easier for financially weak people to earn money and has to support them by the means of social welfare."
• The MPI on foreign policy: "We are strict opponents of any kind of nationalism and racism. The people of the world shall remember that they are all brothers and that there are only different cultures, and no better and worse cultures. War cannot be a supportable mean of foreign policy. Instead, diplomatic contact between the nations shall be extended to enable the people not just to tolerate each other, but to acknowledge each other."
• The MPI on the UN: "The UN is the centre of cultural and international dialogue, so we support the Saidercrayan UN membership."

National Electoral Offensive

The NEO is a right-wing extremist party lead by Charles Grawthol. It has gained 0% in the last election.

• The NEO on democracy: "We believe in the wisdom of an ethnically clean people to know what is best. But today, Saidercray isn't a state with an ethnically clean people, and the decision this people of ethical mixture makes often tend to be bad. Until Saidercray's people is clean again, democracy must be abolished for the people's own sake."
• The NEO on domestic policy: "The main aim of any kind of domestic policy is to give Saidercray back to those whose land it is, to Saidercrayans by blood. For this reason, all foreigners and Saidercrayans by paper shall be evicted. To give Saidercray the power it is able to have, we call for an intensification of the jurisdiction in order to give the state the ability to remove individuals wronging the people from the people. Education has to be a monopoly of the state."
• The NEO on economy: "We don't want to dispossess the private economy, but we want to give the state access to their money if necessary. We furthermore want to reduce the barriers for free trade to carry the eternal law of fighting resulting into the success of the strongest over to the economy by creating greater possibilities for competition."
• The NEO on foreign policy: "Realizing the eternal conflict of the peoples and races, we cannot see economic aid to developping countries as anything else than what it is: a huge fault improving the situation of hostile races. Pacifist views weaken our nation and therefore mustn't play any role in foreign policy."
• The NEO on the UN: "The UN is a prison for all its member nations, so we want Saidercray to leave it immediately."

Party for Peace and Justice

The PPJ is one of Saidercray´s strongest political parties. It's lead by Ian Woshkal, the current President of Saidercray. In the last election, the PPJ gained 27% of the votes.

• The PPJ on democracy: "The government doesn't only represent the state, it represents the people. For this reason, any government can't have any other legitimation than a democratic election's result. It is necessary that the government not only represents, but also leads the people. But, like a good father does with his children, it shouldn't decide all. Therefore, we support plebiscites on important issues."
• The PPJ on domestic policy: "We want to venture to do the splits between freedom and autonomy of the people and moral guidance by the people's leaders. Trusting in the power of love for each other that unites all human beings, and trusting in the people, we don't think that strict statutory regulations are necessary or good. We stand for social liberalism combined with the constant admonition to the people to build their conscience and to follow its decisions. Concerning criminals, we are strongly in favour of resocialisation. The Human Rights are unalienable and the basis of political acting. Altough we recognize the positive results of a religious conviction, we are in favour of the separation of church and state."
• The PPJ on economy: "We say ´no´ to capitalism, a system that sees competition and economic fights against each other as something better than solidarity. We say ´no´ to consumerism, a system pushing human beings into dependence of things they actually don´t need. To gain freedom, it is not necessary to accumulate money, it´s necessary to accumulate self-sufficiency. But the way this happens always has to face the interests of those who are less fortunate. By supporting uneconomic growth, we accept the reality that the ressources of the earth are limited, a fact which excludes continued, seemingly endless economic growth. The economy shall be for the people's sake and not the people for the economy's sake."
• The PPJ on foreign policy: "In our opinion, all men are equal and shall see each other as of the same high value. We always support non-violent solutions for problems and we want to intensivate contact between people from different states and cultures to enable them to realize the beauties of the foreign people and to create esteem for each other, which is the best means in order to prevent conflicts."
• The PPJ on the UN: "The UN's ideals aren't unitable with ours. We regret that we cannot use this platform, but using it makes it difficult not to abandon what we believe in."

Saidercray's Women's Feminist Party

The small SWFP is a feminist party. It is lead by Evelyn Redyn and has gained 1 percent at the last election.

• The SWFP on democracy: "Democracy is a fundamentally good system. Nonetheless, it is still remarcable that it has been developped in patriarchal times. To guarantee that democratic institutions can represent a society whith as much females as males, we call for a general women's quota of 50%."

Socialist Party of Saidercray
