I'm remaking a Party Platform, because we need a place where all our views on topics are stated. These views can also be changed whenever our majority views are changed, they're not set in stone.
So, without further ado, here's some issues and how we stand.
Issues and Decisions
Religon and Government
Solution Abstract: We stand for religious tolerance.
Explanation: All laws will be made with a rational and levelheaded approach. Darkstar will make no attempt to influence or support any particular religious practice or organization. Beliefs and rituals will not be interfered with so long as they do not interfere with the basic human rights of life, peace, and opinion. No donations or contributions will be made to churches or religious groups by Darkstar, nor will we accept donations from said groups for anything other than the furthering of Darkstar's cause (including our commitment to religious freedom).
Opposition: Those who believe that government should include the views of their religion when deciding laws.
Sources (optional): n/a
Health Care
Solution Abstract: We stand for federally funded healthcare.
Explanation: The government will provide coverage for the peoples? medical expenses in the way health insurance companies do now. The only direct cost to a person receiving treatment would be the typical cover charge. Of course taxes would need to be raised to support this but after removing Medicare, Medicaid, and current health coverage costs (of which they?d be obsolete) we?d be looking at a much smaller number. Also in an attempt to reduce costs, we?d allow for the purchase of foreign drugs so long as they?re made by companies verified for procedure and safety (if this already isn?t allowed, your country may vary).
Opposition: Those who oppose taxes and companies afraid of the added competition that foreign drug companies would bring.
Sources (optional): n/a
If it seems that we have come to an agreement on any issue, I (or anyone) will ask the guild if we should add it to the Party Platform, and if so, it will be added.

For the record on the Medical Care issue, I feel it is not that taxes have to be raised, but that government spending needs to be stifled and redirected towards the public. For those who wish I will pull up the numbers on it, but suffice it to say that we spend incredible sums on projects which we frankly do not need, and if that money were diverted to social causes there are many different things we could fix in our society, healthcare being a primary example.

Actually, that'd probably be a really good thing to discuss. Do you think you could make a topic on it? Maybe we could figure out how we'd balance out the government spending.
