Azul,
On behalf of my party, I encourage you to consider voting for Awakening and Magnifying Passion (AMP) this election.
Voters in this election have a lot of choices. Why should you spend you vote on us? The answer is clear; AMP's comprehensive set of proposals provide the clearest path toward reforming, not abolishing, many of our Kingdom's most important institutions to ensure all Talossans are inspired to contribute for years to come.
Our provinces, and our Monarchy, among others, are important aspects of Talossa. I have said much elsewhere about the value of these institutions (you can read our manifesto or my debate with the leader of the New Peculiar Way for the details), but in short:
-There are a great number of ways Talossans can and do identify with their provinces, and
-In addition to the more interesting aesthetic of the Monarchy compared to a Republic for most citizens (because most citizens already live in a Republic), the presence of a Monarch with limited power, whose entire job is looking after the long-term interests of Talossa, is beneficial to a nation of our small size.
However, the overarching aim of any policy must be to increase the fulfillment of our citizens. Nobody is forced to be a Talossan, and we will only have Talossans so long as there are people who desire to be Talossan. The provinces and the Monarchy are only useful insofar as they help, as our name suggests, stir passion for Talossanity.
Part of their use is certainly the history and heritage that the provinces and Monarchy provide, but this is not enough by itself. Our provinces are dying and our King is never around. To enjoy the benefits that these institutions can provide, we can't maintain the status quo. Luckily, AMP is prepared to make the changes we need, from eliminating disincentives for provincial mergers to taking a firm stance on the removal of King John I if he does not provide a more active cultural presence.
We have plenty of other ideas too, such as reforms to the immigration process and the civil service, all centered around the same goal:
These are concrete proposals, and if there is any party that can be trusted to follow through on legislation, it is AMP. We accomplished five of our goals from the our previous manifesto in the last term alone. I daresay that the AMP Manifesto is one of the most thoughtful and coherent platforms that a Talossan political party has ever campaigned on.
To be frank for a moment;
If you believe in a Monarch that is more than a figurehead - Don't vote MTGA, NPW, or PNP
If you believe in a nation that adapts to meet the needs of its citizens - Don't vote ZPT
That leaves you with either AMP or the Free Democrats.
There is no denying the accomplishments of the previous Free Democrat administration. However, an AMP-led cabinet would be a cabinet of talents, and in all likelihood the most competent Ministers will be in a position to carry on their work no matter who wins the election (this is not to say we aren't equipped to lead; I have been a successful Prime Minister before and I am more than ready to do it again). Keep in mind you are electing a Parliament first and foremost; which ideas do you like most? We need seats to advance our proposals, so if you'd like to see them enacted, please give us your vote.
Thank you for your consideration,
Ian Plätschisch
AMP Leader, Senator, and former Seneschal
