First, I'd just like to say hi to everyone here as it's my first post.
Recently I've been becoming more and more annoyed with my choices of representation, and I've come to the conclusion that a new political party needs to be formed. I find that my ideas are very common to many people, but there isn't a single party that has these same common ideals. Right now i'm an NDP member, as they are the closest to my beliefs, but they tend to be not fiscally responsible enough to do the job we need.
What do I believe in? Why?
I believe in maximizing the rights of Canadians and instituting viable social programs while eliminating those that aren't. I'd maximize rights by abolishing laws that target victimless crimes that were put in place to appease the majority. Some of these laws includes gay rights issues, drug prohibition, and general laws that are more costly to enforce than the detriment they cause. Gay marriage is a no brainer as the effect of homosexuals getting married has nothing to do with government, it's a religious issue and shouldn't be enforced. Drug prohibition should be ended and regulated. Marijuana should legalized and taxed to subsidize the costs inflicted on society from it's use. Keeping it illegal doesn't stop useage and may even increase it. It also allows for a black market industry to flourish, which triggers a lot of spin-off crime like organized crimes and gangs. Special legislation that I thought up myself could be implimented to prevent big business or organized crime from taking over the industry, creating thousands of new jobs instead, adding another boost to our economy.
Healthcare is a viable social program. Healthcare improves the general health of all Canadians, and as a result there are less sick days taken which is good for the economy. Private healthcare is a total joke, and we should be rejecting it with disgust. The reason is that no matter how efficient you make it, there is still a profit margin, which means that a public system should be able to function at the same cost without a profit motive. I suggest we re-work the healthcare system so it's run like a business, and not like the bureaucracy. The reason they want to create a private sector is because a bunch of rich people want to make more money, or leach off the masses if you will. They want to do this two ways, by making profit directly off your sickness, and by providing insurance on top of your money in the public system. The worst part about the private sector is that they won't decrease lines at hospitals, which is the only problem with the current system. The reason is that it's supply and demand, if they provided a doctor to every person that needed one, they'd lose money. The only way they make money is to make sure their is a shortage of care, that way you have to pay whatever they want. We could regulate this, but our governments are corrupt and constantly trying to make little changes to regulations until they serve no purpose. If they do get their way and create a two-teired system, my policy would shift and we could simply put a 100% tax on services of this nature which would be directly allocated to the public system. Either way, I can make the burden on society the same and make those who'll profit from such companies, support the public system which would have less strain, and more money than ever to serve the rest of us.
I obviousely have a lot more that I could write on these issues, but basically the new party would be fiscally responsible socialists. I'm not against rich people or big business, my party would just ensure that they are held accountable to disparity, and business laws would be written to encourage social responsibility. I also believe we need to put our foot down on environmental issues, and even threaten to reduce oil production if countries don't use it efficiently as possible. We are the wealthiest nation in the world when it comes to resources, and we should be using that power to get what needs to be done done.
