The GLD Congress Candidates

Day 765, 11:08 Published in Netherlands Netherlands by GLD HQ
- BACK TO NEWSPAPER INDEX -

The election times are coming again. In this article we'll talk about the members who are running, a short introduction of what GLD is and what we stand for.


Who are we?
We are the Green Liberal Democrats. The party was founded half June this year. While we are still a relatively new party, we have gained a lot experience in a short period of time. Last mandate, we have participated in the government for the second time. Amongst our congress candidates we have ambassadors, ministers, secretaries, army members, but also fairly new players of the game. After all, our party has always been filled with new and old members, all unique individuals from all over the world. We are a party that stands for government transparency, freedom of enterprise, fair taxes and wages for both workers and company owners, and good international relations.

Government Transparency: Transparency is needed for the people to know what's going on. The government task is to inform the citizens what's going on in their country, so that people can base an opinion on what's happening. This is the base of a good democracy.

Freedom of enterprise: We as a party are for less interference of the state. The state only needs to have a few companies for the army and for beginners to train. We hope to minimize state interference.

Fair taxes and wages for both workers and company owners: The taxes and wages needs to be balanced out. We like to find fair taxes and wages which benefits both the company owners and the workers. We also hope to achieve good communication between the workers and company owners.

Good International Relations: We, the GLD, hope to maintain good relationships with other countries, in a military, but also a economical and social perspective. We hope to achieve these relationships not only with countries within our alliance, but with countries all over the world.

Lastly, the GLD wants to wish you all a merry Christmas. Let us not forget the true Christmas spirit. Let us drop down the mud and be nice to each other, for politics is something we make together. So GLD wishes all the other parties the best of luck on the elections, and hopes this will be a fun, fair, Christmassy election.
