Region: Union of Democrats

My campaign platform is officially out. Please excuse the lack of formatting, as it is not something I am particularly good at.

In this document, I will outline my platform for reelection to the office of the president and world assembly delegate.

World assembly.
In the last election, my promise was to bring the World Assembly to you by posting every single resolution on the RMB. However, I did not notice a major uptake in World Assembly voting from this, so I abandon this midterm. One promise I did keep, however, was voting the way of the region. On every single resolution that I cast my vote, it was in the majority opinion of our region.

AOR.
If reelected, I will work more actively alongside the Assembly of Regions. I will make sure our region has more of a stance on the issues of the day being debated in the Council of Regions and House of delegates. This will be done in conjunction with our representatives in the Assembly.

Mandate letters.
If reelected, all ministers will receive a publicly available mandate letter upon their appointment. This will give the citizens of our region a way to hold them accountable throughout their term.

Constitution.
I believe our constitution does not need to be rewritten, as we seem to be doing this every three months, but I do believe amendments are needed. If reelected, I will hold a constitutional convention to discuss any amendments made to the constitution.
Here are some amendments I will push for if reelected.
Adding a requirement that citizens must possess a WA tag.
Members of our region who do not possess a WA tag, but have filled out the citizenship form shall be known as permanent residence.
Permanent residents will have all the same rights as citizens, except for the ability to vote in presidential, vice presidential or ministerial approval elections.
Permanent residence will still be allowed to vote on laws and resolutions in the Democratic Assembly, however.
Recognize the vice president in the constitution.
Recognize an ethics commissioner in the constitution.

Ethics commissioner.
As was made clear during my previous term with my ethics breach, this region needs some sort of authority to rule on such violations. If reelected, this will be the very first thing I establish. Specific powers of the ethics commissioner will be debated during our constitutional convention, as they Will require some amendments.
The ethics commissioner should have the ability to trigger a confidence vote of any member of the executive.
The ethics commissioner should also have the ability to hand down case by case punishments to any member of the executive as they see fit.
The ethics commissioner, like any other official, should also have the ability to be replaced by a simple majority of the region. This is the only position permanent residence will also have voting rights on, as I believe everyone should have input on such a crucial post.

Ministers.
If reelected, along with the required ministers in the constitution, I will establish the following positions.
Minister of role-play: will be responsible for managing any regional RPs, along with setting RP guidelines.
Minister of events, culture and sport: Will be responsible for administrating any region-wide events.

Representing our region internationally.
This is already clearly set out in our constitution, but if reelected, I will uphold that while any member of our region is welcome to actively participate in any outside organizations, they must require executive approval to represent our region in such organizations.

A world about to break.
If reelected, I also pledge to reestablish A World About to Break, the official real world role-play of the union of Democrats.

Conclusion.
I believe this platform outlines a vision for the future of our region, where our region can grow to be one of the most active on the site. If you have any questions, my telegrams are open. You are also welcome to post questions on the RMB, as I love responding publicly to inquiries.

Fdryden for president.
This message was approved and paid for by the Social Democratic Party.
