"For A Brighter Atlasia"

We of the Light Party are guided by our ten principles: equal opportunity, integrity, honesty, personal responsibility, fiscal responsibility, justice, cooperation, liberty, progress, and the general welfare of the socially and economically disadvantaged.

Government has a vital role in a civil society.  While it should not be considered the arbiter of economic and societal development, we believe it is a tool to propel the ongoing advancement of our world.  We recognize that at the heart of progress is not the powerful few, but the working majority of the citizenry.  Our party proudly represents the commonwealth and believes all people are entitled to a life of prosperity.  We believe that the least of society must come first, and though we may not always agree on the issues, we must approach every conversation with a sound and open mind.

In order for a party to grow, it must be a voice for progress.  We lend our name not only to the vision of a brighter society, but to one of the most common inventions known to man: the humble light bulb, and all of the technological advancements that have come with it.  Likewise, we must recognize that Atlasia is forever changing, and that cooperation is the only way it will move in the right direction.  This is why we are a party of diverse interests and opinions, and we believe that independent thought inspires rational solutions.

These are the tenets which unify us as liberals, conservatives, libertarians, populists, and moderates.  These are the values which enable us not to dwell on the dark days of the past, but march together for a brighter society.

While I don't plan on getting involved in party politics like I used to, I feel that over my time in the game, I have been an advocate for many of the things described in the makeshift platform (Tongue), and agree with it essentially.

It's a good platform in general, but I am firm in my commitment to remain politically unaligned.

That's too bad. If it's not less filling, then I'm not sure it's the healthiest option.

Let me amend that statement.  Officially, the Light Party is not meant to be "Liberal light" or "Labor light" or "Federalist light" or anything other than what its members see it as.  Even if someone closely aligns themselves with one of the two other leftist parties, some (such as myself) opt not to be a member of them, for one reason or another.  That is what this party is for.

I agree with much of the platform. Hope to see you do well even though I'm staying with the Federalists.

Nice logo, those graphics were awfully trippy.

Hypothetical: does this party accept dirty conservatives such as myself?

Thanks!

Ultimately, whether or not you join the party is up to you.  Anyone who agrees with some or all of our planks, or the goals we seek to accomplish, is welcome.  And we'll be glad to have your input when we draft an official platform. Smiley

Thanks for your swift response! Well, I'm not sure of a move right now since I only just lost my previous independent tag; though I shall be watching with much interest.

I think I want to serve my period as Assemblyman as an independent, but I'll think about supporting this party, since I agree with a large part of their platform. It's always interesting to see a new party forming (specially one that grows large in a short time), so good luck with this endeavour!

I appreciate that this party recognizes that what motivates us all is the same- solving our problems... though we have different methods to do it

With folks like Scott, Ben, SJoyce, Idaho, Tmth in here- I hope to see The Light Party as a partner in much of what we Federalists stand for

My first thought when I saw this: your party logo looks similar to the bisexual pride flag:




Anyway, I'm not going to leave Labor, but I'm happy to see a new party taking off. Good luck to you and your party! Smiley
