The Alternative Party [ALT]


The Alternative Party [ALT]

The Alternative is a new Thaecia Political Party, aiming to give the people the Thaecia that they have participated in for so long a better future. We are determined to improve the representation of all citizens in Thaecia and the rights of citizens and want to work with the other parties for the interest of all Thaecians. And we need you to support us, we can't do it alone!

Congress
  • Bicameralism- The Alternative Party believes in bicameralism- this is to engage more citizens in the region, additional scrutiny on laws, for additional fun with friendly competition between chambers, to halt a one party system, keeping Thaecia unique, and ultimately not making things boring- two chambers shakes things up. However, that's what the competition must be- friendly. All Representatives of the People must work in harmony with one another, otherwise, they shouldn't be running the legislative arm of this august region.

  • Reduction of Congress- The Alternative Party commits itself to representation of Thaecian people. However there comes a time when our democracy and system cannot be allowed to function because of a bloated legislature that impedes on the ability of the Thaecian people to choose legislators, which is the very point of an elected legislature. As such, ALT supports the reduction of the Senate to seven seats.

  • Elected Legislature- The Alternative Party does not believe that Thaecia should introduce a citizens' legislature, unless it is restricted to purely roleplay legislation. This is to keep Thaecia unique, to have more exciting elections, and to allow Thaecian voters the democratic choice to select whom shall be their legislators for the coming months. However, if there is enough support for it, we would agree to a regional referendum to allow the people to decide, similar to what we had with Unicameralism vs Bicameralism.


Executive Branch

  • Minor Executive Oversight- The Alternative Party believes that while Congress should have the right to legislate on the Executive, as part of a balance of power, they should refrain from doing so in all but extremely dire circumstances. This is so that Congress does not force something on the Executive that it does not want to do.

  • Thaempirial Army- The Alternative Party believes that the Thaempirial Army has proved to be excellent for regional activity, enjoyment, and our Foreign Affairs. As such, we believe that the Thaempirial Army should be allowed to continue operating, but should still engage in a policy of transparency. The military must also not take part in operations during Senate elections, so that their veto is not infringed upon.

  • Globalism- The Alternative Party believes that Thaecia must remain as a more globalist region. Since we gained the embassy with the East Pacific, Thaecia has become a much more recognizable name internationally and the region has been able to participate in fun interregional events such as Late Nite Festival. Any interregional organisation we join, embassy we make, or treaty we sign, should be welcomed, however must absolutely be done for the benefit of the region. There is little point in having embassies we don't enage with, and all of these things should be heavily scrutinised.

  • Interregional Events- The Alternative Party heavily supports an FA Policy that engages with our international consulate and embassied partners. Having a diplomatic relation we do nothing with means little point- so Thaecia should be actively engaging with our newfound and old friends in our FA, be it through R/D, a festival, or otherwise.

  • Regional Events- The Alternative Party believes that our domestic engagement is just as important as our foreign one. The Culture Ministry should be hosting more events for Thaecians to take part in, as it has often been criticized there is not much to do in Thaecia. Games on Discord, such as Werewolf, should become a permanent feature, for things to do for Thaecians instead of spamming chat saying that it is dead.

  • Justice- The Alternative Party believes that the Justice Ministry should see serious rework, introducing mock trials and the like to get more Thaecians involved in the legal procedures of the region. It took a long time to find only a newcomer as Justice Minister, as such more Judicial activity would spur

  • Roleplay Independence- The Alternative Party believes that the Thaecian Roleplay should operate independently from the region. While still being appointed by the Prime Minister, the Alternative Party will never support any legislation or executive policy that attempts to bend the will of the Secretary of Roleplay and Roleplay as a whole to itself, and instead all decisions should be made by the SoRP and Roleplayers alone.


Recruitment

  • Competition- The Alternative Party believes that Thaecia should recruit much more. While a WA Bomb is opposed for the sake of all our FA, we believe that things like a competition and incentivisation should be created for recruiting, to engage more Thaecians in it. The region cannot survive if it does not get a constant influx of new members, although our core community will always stay in tact.


Legislation
  • Constitutional Convention- The Alternative Party supports a Constitutional Convention to simplify the Constitution of Thaecia, keeping it concise, to the point, and with minimal confusion for newcomers. Additionally, it will be helpful to resolve any and all issues in the Constitution.

  • Public Referendum on Mergers- The Alternative Party has been a long time supporter of the independence of Thaecia, and believes it should never merge with another region. However, if there were significant public support for it, a procedure should be in place. As such we believe in legislation that would introduce referendums for any mergers with other regions, into or out of Thaecia. We also believe entrance into interregional organisations should recieve public opinion and scrutiny, so Thaecia does not jump headlong into something the people are not interested in. An interregional organisation cannot succeed if nobody is interested in it.

  • Law Registry Reform- The Alternative Party believes in a total reform of all Thaecian laws to put an end to the massive, glaring issues, inconsistencies, and unconstitutionalities, within the law. This is a top priority for the region at large.

  • Judicial Term Limits- The Alternative Party supports the notion of limiting Judicial Terms at six months. Once this is over, they must go back to the House for reconfirmation. This ensures they can be held accountable at regular intervals, not become a political position (as it occurs to an irregular interval to General Elections), and to defeat the staggering inactivity we have seen in recent times.


Party Constitution

  • 1. Party Chair - The Party Chair shall be elected once every four months, regardless of a special election. They shall be responsible for determining party policy, strategies, and management of the Party.

  • 2. Party Council - The Party Council shall be elected once every two months. It shall contain three members, whom shall collectively be responsible for the day to day running of the Party, recruiting new members, and advising the Party Chair.

  • 3. No Confidence - If 1/4th of the Party, not including the Party Council and Party Chair, signs a petition against one of the Party Council or the Party Chair, a party referendum shall be held. Should it gain the support of a simple majority of voters, said nation shall be ejected from their seat. A special election shall be held for the position.

  • 4. Constitutional Amendments - Any Amendments to the Constitution of the Party shall require a simple majority vote to pass.

  • 5. Primaries - The Party shall always hold Primaries for House and Senate elections. If the Council votes in favour, they may also hold primaries for Premier and Presidential Elections.
