(SDP) Conformity or Principle

Day 3,199, 20:33 Published in Switzerland Ireland by OogieBoogie3

Upon failing to gain control over the Social-Democratic Party of Switzerland in a draw election (Higher XP determined tiebreaker), the Party has nominated me for a their Presidential candidature and nomination.

Although I acknowledge the reality that I and the SDP have no realistic chance of winning this upcoming election, it's important that we run to push our principles and keep the political system progressive and competitive.



The SDP endorses progressivism and diplomacy, but does not tolerate imperialistic maneuvers. Although we support our involvement with the Asteria alliance, it's important that we stand by our national principle of neutrality, and stride to strengthen our relationships with the world around us, regardless of what alliances they affiliate with, and countries they are allied with. Our fight should not be that of our peers, rather that of those are in need of a helping hand, a brother in solidarity in their time of need, against imperialism and oppression. Asteria promotes oppressive ideals, and has expressed this very thing against us. We exist to them as a means to obtain resources, and our existence is at their mercy and their term. Like it or not, they are a bully, and fear should not bar them from criticism from the likes of our leaders. We will not bow down or stoop down to their level, but cooperation is a necessary evil to ensure our sovereignty. Regardless, it is our duty to bring the world together in unity, and though peace may be a futile goal, it's one we must persistently stride for.



Subsequently, there will always be war, and there's no avoiding it. We will not hide, nor will we back down; but we will not be the aggressor unless it is our soil and our blood being threatened. We'll protect our own with extreme prejudice.

The SDP will not conform; that's not who we are, but the door is always open, and we won't shy.

Long Live Switzerland and the SDP!
