DUCE proposes candidate for CouncillorThe Deltarian Union for Conservative Economy wishes to field the honourable Abram Andrei as a candidate for Councillor on the Congress for Liberty Executive Council. M. Andrei has is a citizen of the Federal Republic of Deltaria, and has a Ph.D in political science. He has written numerous books including the best selling "Staying Down", an analysis of the welfare system which led to massive reforms in the Federal Republic of Deltaria and has had an effect on public policy thinking in the whole of Terra. M. Andrei is a strong believer in personal and collective liberty, and thus has strong interest and shared values with the CfL.
As for his goals for the CfL, he has stated that one of his main ambitions as Councillor would be to massively increase the active membership of the organization:
The lifeblood of any institution is people that are in it. If the people become apathetic than the institution becomes inactive. If the people are absent, the institution is gone. As a Councillor I and my party would assiduously appoint new members to the organization, and help keep those members active in the organization. The next step would be to keep these members and the whole organization focused on bringing liberty to the world and not being caught up in other petty ideological struggles. would also try to work together with the IML and ATR jointly to bring liberty to Terra and spread awareness of the organization.
In terms of a threat to the freedom of the world I would immediately point out the 'People's Socialist Labour Party' of Ikradon. While it is true that a nation should have the liberty to elect a party that is totalitarian, we believe that according to the preferences of the people this party is not elected because of their policies on liberty. It may also be the case that the party is using election fraud. Thus it is my opinion that this party is a threat to the freedom of the world,and would institute other oppressive regimes in countries that would not be amicable towards the party. An example of this is in its bellicose threats towards Zardugal, where if it had its way it would institute another oppressive regime. This party is extremely restrictive, putting it place numerous totalitarian policies such as the series of 'Worker's State Progression Bills', 'The Worker's State Authority Bill' or the 'Homosexuality Ban Bill'.
My ultimate goal to prevent these types of parties from preventing liberty is through the use of soft power rather than through blatantly overt or seditious methods. We should attract and co-opt entities into advocating freedom, preferably avoiding outright conflict or coercion. I as Chancellor will advocate these methods to achieve our goals and only as a last resort use threats. I hope that the fellow members of the CfL will see that this is the best way to promote liberty: through example and demonstration over force, as using force is to institute liberty against one's will is the very opposite of the liberty we wish to create. To maintain a vigilant watch on entities violating basic human freedoms we must maintain a strong and very active organ dedicated to this watch.
- Abram Andrei
M. Andrei knows that as a Councillor he would be able to drastically better the CfL and Terra as a whole. He hopes that the rest of the CfL will see the truth in this and elect him Councillor.
