Edward Selm and Civil Protection

 

 

Our Cause

 

There has existed, for generations, an explicit lack of protection for citizens from the abuses of government. In an Empire where the rule of law is key, we have guaranteed liberty, life, and trial to our citizens, and yet we have been painfully relaxed on enforcing those inalienable rights.

 

There is only one way to remedy this. Where we have long operated simply expecting our rights are protected, we must reach into the maw of the political and government elite, and seize it rightfully as citizens of this great Empire.

 

We can do away with party boss cronyism, and create a system of civil defense from the infringement upon our rights. We need only elect the solution.

 

My Promise

 

I have made it my life’s work to defend those who lack the power to defend themselves, in order to do all I can to extend the rights of our citizens to live and have a fair trial. I am the singular foremost private practicing lawyer in the Empire, and I wish to sacrifice my business in favor of civil service.

 

Right now, only the Ministry of Justice may sue other parts of the government under law. If your neighbor breaks into your house, you must trust the Ministry of Justice to file subpoena on your behalf, and defend your rights. Many times those who infringe upon your rights are not held accountable, either because the Ministry is in bed with them, or because it lacks diligence.

 

I will pass laws to ensure everyday citizens may use our legal system to defend themselves against the abuses of government, and against others who would infringe upon their rights, regardless of who.

 

Where now we only have a criminal code, we will have an extensive civil code, protecting citizens from damages, destruction and theft of property, defamation.

 

We have rights, and now we must elect officials who will ensure they are upheld.

"Mister Selm is right. The civil law of our country is fundamentally incomplete. It is currently lacking essential and basic statutes that any civil system should have, such as a statute on Damages, Defamations and other civil violations." Sir Edward Galbraith would say after hearing that Edward Selm is running for the House of Commons.
