Actually, party followers do call Teddy "Emperor Teddy" :p

(Also, these are just my real beliefs expanded upon to fit a fascist party :p Taxes, Tariffs, Unions, Welfare are all taken from my personal beliefs, the remainder are all adjusted to fit the game.)

The following interview between Teddy and a local reporter (Read: a real local reporter who is also a supporter and asked the questions requested) was released on VHS tape to media outlets across the country.

Q (Questioner)
A (Answers, IE, Teddy)

Q
Thank you for speaking to us

A
Anytime

Q
So, Teddy, you've finally made it official and organized a political party.

A
Indeed, but I could not do it without my supporters. In all the 42 years of my life I never could have dreamed for this day to come.

Q
Where do you expect to go from here?

A
Internal polls show us at 4%, so, we expect to win 4 seats.

Q
What if non-internal polls show a different result?

A
We'll examine them of course, but we are expecting 4%. People are unfamiliar with myself and our party, it is my hope to get a foothold in Parliament and use that to show the public that there is nothing to fear from us. If the polls are showing less, I would say that it's under-sampling, and if they show more, then we have exceeded expectations!

Q
Many in your party call you "Emperor"...

A
*blush* Oh they can get that way sometimes, my official title is First Chair

Q
Why do you think your followers are so dedicated to you?

A
I think it's a trust issue. I am proposing radical change. My followers are those who have gotten to know me, those who have seen me at work. It is my experience the more people get to know me the more they like me, and I hope soon the entire nation will get to know me.

Q
Interesting, I would certainly like to see where things go from here

A
As would I! Thank you for this interview!

"Hello. As you are aware, the NAU and RSF have issued a joint statement demanding a land reform program be carried out. Do you intend to implement such a program, and if so, how?"


That´s certainly an interesting question. Farmers are a priority in our agenda, but we respect private property and can´t, like the communists and anarchists would like, steal the land to their legitimate owners and hand it to people just because they are members of a particular union. We can´t, as they want, break the people´s right to keep their propiety. If they don´t respect that right, nothing can guarantee that the reds will respect your right to think, to pray, to speak or even, to live. No country which has undergone a land collectivization has ever done it in a democratic, free society. People, if you vote for the collectivization, you are voting for the Soviets, for the Gulag, the Cultural Revolution, the atheism and the destruction of freedom!

We promise, that´s right, to help the farmers, the workers of the countryland. Under our government, no small farmer will be taxed to death, no landless labourer will be exploited, no landowner should fear for having his lands stolen and his house burnt. Stability and prosperity for all, not for the masses.

"If elected, what will your party do to reduce inequality in Anetaguay?"

Again, an interesting topic. Inequality will be fought, but not in the communist style. We won´t make everyone equally poor. Our goal is to make everyone richer and happy, not poor and miserable. The lower strates of society will have the full protection and help of the state. The poor will have subsidies, the unemployed, work, the underpayed, a dignified wage. We promise to make every Anetaguayan a prosperous person, rich enough to not have to be worried about debts, scared about poverty. A better future for the people, is a better future for Anetaguay!

"Would you consider taking Peru to the world court for damages incurred during their illegal occupation of Anetaguay?"

Certainly. Anetaguay can be sure we will do anything possible to have the damage repaired. They have acted like criminals, scavengers over a helpless, innocent victim, and should pay for it. We won´t stop until the responsible people for this ilegal act are punished and the whole damage repaired! And we will do anything which the situation requires for it!

"What should be the role of the Catholic Church in Anetaguay?"

Catholicism has been the traditional faith of our nation, and a nation which lacks faith, moral and a guiding hand, is destined to disaster. As such, the Catholic Church will be protected and helped by the state. You can be sure they won´t dictate our agenda, but we will do everything possible to protect her traditional rights, and no harm will be done by the extremists to the spirituality and the soul of the nation.

"What role should the government play in the economy?"

Lastly, I would like to talk about this. As you probably know, we believe in the state interference in the economy, but not in an oppressive, soviet style. We believe in the state as a consumer, regulator and producer, not as the overlord of the economy. The economy shouldn´t work for the fat, bureaucratic pigs in some Supreme Soviet, but for the people. We believe in a French model, a state which offers enough demand to help producers, which produces the goods which would be unafordable, too difficult to produce, or, simply, strategically important, which regulates the economy, creating a laboral legislation which satisfy both the employee and the employer needs, where no worker is exploited and no bussinessman blackmailed for overpowerful unions. We believe in a future of prosperity and progress, brought by the help of a caring state, which main concern is the nation, and not the almighty party, like the communists, or the rich people and bankers, like the liberals and self-styled democrats.

Prosperity for Anetaguay! Viva Anetaguay!

"Hello. As you are aware, the NAU and RSF have issued a joint statement demanding a land reform program be carried out. Do you intend to implement such a program, and if so, how?"

It is my belief that land reform is an important issue that would have large benefits to our nation. The PSD will push to give the farmers the land that they deserve. The land that will sustain themselves and their families for generations to come. The disparity between the percentage of small farms and large farms is too great. Rather than having 60% Large Farms and 20% Small Farms, the PSD will seek to ensure that it is more like 20% Large Farms and 60% Small Farms. We must seek to remove the excesses of the landed elite, the men who have more land than they need, and give it to the farmers who work hard directly on the land and deserve to reap all of its benefits.

"If elected, what will your party do to reduce inequality in Anetaguay?"

The PSD will take many measures to ensure greater equality for the workers and farmers of this nation. We seek to expand the our welfare state to ensure that every citizen receives the services and benefits that they deserve. We are committed to passing legislation establishing a minimum wage, to prevent workers from being paid less than they deserve to be paid for their efforts. We will improve the quality of our healthcare and expand our school system. We will also increase pensions and unemployment benefits to ensure that our elderly are even further from poverty and that our unemployed do not fall into poverty because they do not have a job and are getting inadequate benefits. And the progressive tax we will work to implement will also reduce inequality by guaranteeing that those who earn more money pay higher taxes than those who earn less. The poor have less money to give so they should not be expected to pay the same amount of taxes as those who are wealthier.

"Would you consider taking Peru to the world court for damages incurred during their illegal occupation of Anetaguay?"

I certainly would. Anetaguay cannot let other nations bully it around, and certainly not Peru. We must show to the international community the injustices that Peru has committed to our nation and to be compensated for the damages that they have inflicted. We simply cannot let them get away with this without due punishment.

"What should be the role of the Catholic Church in Anetaguay?"

The Catholic Church should have no place in the state nor should not have any impact on government policy. However, no measures should be taken to persecute those who worship it. Freedom of religion is an important tenet of our nation and the PSD will respect it and the freedom of every Anteguayan to worship any religion they see fit, as long as religion remains out of the government.

"What role should the government play in the economy?"

The government's duty is to ensure that the workers are not exploited nor denied the conditions, benefits, and pay they deserve. The economy must be regulated to ensure that the workers to mitigate the flaws of capitalism. Unregulated capitalism leads to poverty, inequality, and the exploitation of workers. The PSD seeks to lower poverty, improve equality, and prevent any exploitation of workers from occurring.

It is also the commitment of the PSD to ensure economic growth as well as maintaining the nationalization of industries essential to the people of this nation such as those in transportation and energy. However, we still will allow capitalism take its course, as it has been a system that, while flawed, can still lead to economic prosperity and greater equality if properly regulated.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I must address the slander that the FSR is spewing about the PSD. Unlike what Mr. Silva would have you believe, the PSD is not abandoning the workers by forming a coalition with the PLD and the PLS. We are working with them to ensure the continued existence of the very freedoms that allow us to speak freely without fear of punishment, to freely worship whatever religion one wants to worship without persecution or favoritism to one religion, and to be able to protest against unfair practices and moves by the government. The PSD does not agree with the economic policies of the PLD or the PLS, but we will not let them get in the way of the need to oppose the UPA and its desire to use welfare as a means to get the public on their side before betraying the people and stripping them of their rights and freedoms in order to preserve "stability".

Now, I will admit that the PSD does not seek to completely remove capitalism. I recognize that it is flawed and leads to inequality and other undesirable things. But I also recognize that it is important to not completely remove it if we wish to continue to prosper economically. Welfare and capitalism can coexist at the same time, with the latter a means to achieve the former. Capitalism must be heavily regulated if the workers are to be protected; if we are to ensure that they are not exploited and to ensure that they prosper just as much as anyone else. The only way to achieve socialism is to gradually reform capitalism into it, not suddenly remove capitalism and experience economic ruin and upheaval.

If the FSR wishes to continue calling the PSD "treasonous" and other such nonsense then it is quite clear that they have no desire to work with us. As such, we will not work with them either as long as this continues. The PSD's goal is not to achieve communism, but socialism and we seek to do this gradually. If the FSR does not like this then they can work with the PCDA instead.

- Francisco Medrano, President of the Social Democratic Party (PSD)

From the Office of the Secular Freedom Party (PLS)
Our talks with the PSD and the PLD have now given fruit.

I present this document for their public signature:

First Democratic Coalition for Political Freedoms

The signatories below agree to hereby:


1) Never vote Yes to any legislation that would constitute the undermining of democracy, the disenfranchisement of Anetaguayan citizens without compelling legal grounds, or any attack on the principles of liberty or the constitution. The only exception being in times of emergency and with the agreement of all signatories.

2) To communicate and cooperate together on passing legislation to the people of Anetaguay's political benefit. Including but not limited to voting rights, guarantees of constitutional rights, and the separation of powers.

3) To communicate and work towards compromise should any signatory disagree on political legislation.

Notes:

1) All of the signatories will be equal in standing in disputes within the coalition.

2) All members of the coalition may freely remove themselves from the coalition at any time, but the coalition may continue without said member as any of the other signatories desire so long as there is at least two.

3) The approval of all signatories must be explicitly granted for the entrance of a new member into the coalition.

4) All members of the coalition retain all autonomy and independence. The coalition is a formal agreement of general political policy, and does not obligate any signatory in any way regarding economic matters, and does not constitute any amount of subordination of any signatory to any other signatory.

"Hello. As you are aware, the NAU and RSF have issued a joint statement demanding a land reform program be carried out. Do you intend to implement such a program, and if so, how?"
Immediate land reform is vital for our nation and the UTCA will wholeheartedly support the unions' strike if a sufficient reform does not occur. As to how our party will enact the reform; we believe the best way is to empower the peasants themselves and encourage them to seize the farmland that is rightfully theirs. While the policies of the FSR and PCDA have their hearts in the right place, the only people who will understand how best to redistribute the land are the peasants who work on it and not the state.
"If elected, what will your party do to reduce inequality in Anetaguay?"
We will create a progressive tax that ensures that the highest earners are the ones paying the most into the system as they are the ones who can afford it. The party will also support an extensive welfare system which will ensure the least well-off are always receiving the support they need.
"Would you consider taking Peru to the world court for damages incurred during their illegal occupation of Anetaguay?"
Of course! Peru is guilty of blatant imperialism and it's government must pay for it's crime. I would stress though that the regular Peruvian citizen was not at fault and therefore should face no incrimination themselves.
"What should be the role of the Catholic Church in Anetaguay?"
The government should privilege no religion, regardless of it's popularity in our nation. Furthermore, laws should apply equally to all citizens and no organisation must be exempt. How else would we gain equality?
"What role should the government play in the economy?"
The government's role should be to ensure that no one can be economically exploited by any entity. However the actual running of the economic sectors should be done by the people themselves and not by an overstretched state. However in these worrisome times, some state ownership of essential services should be state-owned until the economy and our position in the world is stable. Then these areas can be transferred to the people.

Pre-Election News

A new ABC poll of the ten currently registered parties showed the following results:

Anetaguay´s Patriotic Union (UPA)-19%
Liberal Democratic Party (PLD)-19%
Anetaguayan Democratic Communist Party (PCDA)-17%
Radical Socialist Front (FSR)-12%
Social Democratic Party (PSD)-9%
Secular Freedom Party (PLS)-8%
Integralism Front (FI)-5%
Acción Civil Peruana (ACP)-5%
Worker-Peasant Union of Anetaguay (UTCA)-5%
Partido Teddy (PT)-1%

The RSF has affiliated itself with the UTCA; the UWF has affiliated itself with the FSR. Alejandro Silva and Francisco Medrano were considered the winners of the debate, though Pedro Reyes was also considered to have been quite charismatic, if somewhat arrogant. The rest of the debaters were considered fairly unremarkable.
Though the numbers of the PSD shot up to 15% immediately after the debate, when word emerged they were seeking a coalition with the PLD, members were outraged at the suggestion of a coalition with them, and support declined to its present levels.

Support for the PLD declined by 3% after the debate, due to the perceived unresponsiveness of Pedro Reyes to inequality. A group calling itself "Anetaguayans for Democracy" financed a major ad campaign in support of Reyes, causing his poll numbers to shoot up again. Someone has managed to spraypaint, in large visible letters across the front of the PLD headquarters, "Cut out the middleman! George Bush for Prime Minister!"

The FSR has been gaining praise due to the confrontational and firm stance of Alejandro Silva, attacks on them have only made them gain in popularity.

UN troops have sent word they will withdraw once a government has been formed.

From the Office of the Secular Freedom Party (PLS)

Although I am obviously disappointed in the stagnant support for my party, I am very pleased to see that public support for the UPA has declined, and that the coalition that has just now formed has a plurality on political matters should this poll have been typical of the final results.

I am disheartened in the loss of support for my friend Francisco Medrano, whose policies, even the ones I disagree with, are rational and genuine in their spirit. I wish that the people would have taken a closer look at the actual effect of our coalition on politics.

I am concerned and disturbed by the strengthening of the RSF, and I am truly perplexed why its supporters seem to prefer a demagogue over democracy.

I am disappointed by the loss of support for the PSD because of the coalition with the PLD. This coalition only seeks to preserve the freedoms that all of the citizens of Anetaguay currently hold, and ensure that parties such as the UPA cannot remove them without strong opposition. It is not at all and endorsement of the economic policies of the PLD, nor does it even require that our parties support economic legislation presented by the other. The PSD will continue to oppose the unregulated capitalism that the PLD supports and will do all it can to ensure that inequality is removed, that poverty is lowered, and that the exploitation of workers is prevented. Also, I ask those who believe in equality, welfare, and a better life for all Anetaguayans, whether you are a worker or a farmer, to support the PSD. We will ensure that our children get the education that they need, that our healthcare is improved, and that every citizen of our nation will keep the freedoms that are important to them. We will encourage the formation of unions and collective bargaining. We will make sure everyone gets the benefits they deserve, whether they are young or they are old, employed or unemployed, male or female. That is why the PSD needs your vote, so that we may forge a better future for Anetaguay and provide a better quality of life for all its citizens.

Vote for Equality! Vote for Progress! Vote for the PSD!

- Francisco Medrano, President of the Social Democratic Party (PSD)

Approved.

I think forming a government is going to be...interesting to say the least. All the logical coalitions would still need at least 10% more of the vote to gain a majority.

OOC: Yes, and that is why playing a minor party could be quite fun!
