The Josephites: The Marna Plan

[Braehn Elendil An'Hiraeth 474]

THE MARNA PLAN

A Bold Plan Forward

 

---

 

 

Foreword:

 

Ambition and progress has always been at the forefront of the Josephite Party. We are a coalition built on dreams and hopes that were once scoffed at but are now being actualized. It is our duty, not just to our voters but to humanity as a whole, to continue pushing the envelope. We are an amassed coalition of truly popular will- not one that pits commoners against aristocrats, but one that unites all Orenians behind the common principles of liberty, equality, and justice that we share as free men and women. We believe that history favors the bold, especially so in politics, which is a sentiment that our Marna Plan reflects. An five-part piece of legislation, the Marna Plan would redefine the nature of the Orenian economy, spark a new era of growth free of the stagnance of the minae, and protect and expand the liberties of the people of our Empire.

 

The Marna Plan:

 

I - The Helena Economic Commission by Franz Sarkozic

The Helena Economic Commission will be a bipartisan effort that identifies the primary needs of small, local businesses within the city of Helena and gathers crucial information to determine the economic impact, profitability, and employment levels of said businesses.

 

II - Rebuilding the Economy by Abram Stalistena and Jonah Elendil 

Given the instability and devaluing of the minae, a study of the viability of instituting an Imperial fiat currency as well as how to print and regulate it will be conducted.

 

III - Affordable Housing Project Mandate by Abram Stalistena

The Affordable Housing Project Mandate will require municipalities to assign or build new, cheap housing projects for the low-income and working-class citizens and families of Helena.

 

IV - Constabulary Expansion by Jonah Elendil 

The Constabulary Expansion Act will afford greater powers to the provinces in terms of policing and upholding the Oren Revised Code & Imperial authority within their jurisdiction. 

 

V - Establishment and Protection of National Parks by Abram Stalistena and Konstantin Wick

This legislation would create a national parks system so that we may keep our Oren beautiful and allow citizens and foreigners alike to appreciate the natural beauty of our Empire. We will work with provincial governments to ensure that unsightly land deformations and ruins of little historical importance would be cleared in order to preserve the integrity of our environment.

 

VI - The Abolishment of Indentured Servitude by Angelika Bykov

This act seeks to abolish indentured servitude within the Empire, ensuring that all Orenians receive pay for their work and that employment is fair and equitable.

 

VII - Legal & Damages Act by Konstantin Wick

A Josephite majority promises to introduce the Legal Costs Bill, which will afford judges the power to award damages to a defendant who defeats any charge which, at the judge’s discretion, can be deemed frivolous and insubstantial - in essence, a negligent waste of the court’s time. 

 

The Josephite Party is committed to bringing about legislation with the best interests of the people of the Empire in mind. We believe that the Marna Plan will be a great first step in realizing this future and creating a better tomorrow.

 

For the Dignity of All

“Sensible solutions from sensible people!” Comments the finest cartographer of the realm

[Caranthir_ 2533]

The Leader of the Everardines shook his head in dismay. “When I spoke to Angelika Bykov, she promises that this 'Marna Plan' would be detailed and in depth. Instead, the Josephites have once again given us merely sentences on huge policy issues that the Orenian people deserve to know about in full.”

 

“Where is anything on criminal justice reform? Where is legislation to increase the power of the ISA? Where is legislation to help struggling regions? No, instead we get national parks and more flavour bills than ever before. This is disrespectful to the intelligence of the Orenian voter.”

“The Josephite Party has taken things that already exist in one form or another, are stealing these ideas and repackaging it into their own brand and trying to resell it to the Orenian people. To be quite honest, I expected nothing less.”

Lajos shakes his head after reading the Marna Plan. “I see only goals and no details on how to achieve them. The Josephites once again sitting on their arses and doing the bare minimum while we Everardines do all the hard work.”

[ApplePieKathy 561]

Vivaca Rutledge sighs “This seems very vague and lacks detail, how disappointing.”
