Platform for My Second Term

Day 682, 14:08 Published in Malaysia Malaysia by Badlands17

Hello everyone! I think most everyone would say that my first term has been a success, with more money in the Central Bank, and more people than ever before. I hope we would be able to keep this success going into a second term, with new ideas and promises, all under a rational and fiscally responsible government. We have maintained the incredible momentum started up by the DAP's very own Nagyzee. Now we need to achieve some even greater heights! As I did for my first campaign, I will give you a list of promises, straightforward and to the point:

No deficit ever, unless in an emergency.
You heard me. Unless there is an event which threatens the union, you will not see the amount of money in the Central Bank go down from now until I step down from office (as this will be my last term). If it does, I will personally compensate the state.

Compromise with the left-wing.
We have a surplus, and our war chest is already quite sizable to last us any reasonable period of time. Therefore, I think it's understandable that people want us to start getting real about expanding the government's role. As I am the representative for everyone, if elected, I will be open to suggestions to increase spending, as long as they do not threaten my aforementioned promise to refrain from going into a deficit. I will work closely with my economic advisor Nagyzee on this matter to ensure all proposals make sense and strengthen the union.

Mentoring program. Now.
This has been tossed around for months now. With the creation of Lopici Gaspar's app, it should be even easier for the Social Office to obtain the names of new citizens. When we have a better retention rate, our country is stronger. We have also had plenty of awesome mentors waiting in the wings. We've waited too long on this. This needs to happen.

Increase army participation.
Hearing about some of the platoon leaders talk about how they only have two or three active soldiers is really sad. A strong military is the way forward! Sign up today if you have not at:

Encourage diversity on the eMalaysian/eFRoSEAn political scene.
An us v. them political scene is vastly overrated. Third parties ideally show the main two where some of their faults lie, and help to offset partisan thinking. We have the ball rolling with a similar promise in my first term, let's keep it up!

I'm still listening if you're still speaking up.
As always, I read every message I receive. If I don't respond, 99% of the time I don't have anything to say. I encourage open communication if you really have an issue you want to talk about with me.

Remember to vote Badlands17 on October 5!
