Founding Principles

The Conservative Party is founded on the principles of liberty, community, and social responsibility. We believe that all persons possess certain rights and responsibilities, and that it is the state's foremost function to ensure that these rights and responsibilities are met.

We believe in the principle of free enterprise and the market economy, not as a dogma, but as the best proven guarantor of human prosperity and advancement, and for the state to ensure its continued functioning and defend its integrity. We do not believe in a system where supply and demand are left to govern affairs to the detriment of all others, or the basic quality of life, and maintain that an open and regulated market is the best way to achieve economic growth and progress, rather than a over-financialised system driven towards the pursuit of short-term profit rather than long-term value.

We believe that all people of our country are members of a National Community, and it is towards their fellow members of the national community that all people have responsibilities. For this reason, we believe that a network of social support is not only a preferable guarantor of basic individual well-being and human dignity, but a required system of assistance towards our national community. It is required of us that we, means allowing, do all we can to eradicate the fundamental ills of human life: suffering in sickness, poverty, homelessness, old age, and so forth. As members of the community, and the government of the people, it is required of us to do all we can to ensure that these ills are eliminated and to give all people an equal chance to succeed and to claim their equal right to a life with dignity.

We believe that all people should be afforded equal opportunity in life, and the chance to claim a quality education in line with their potential and own efforts. This education should also seek to instill the values of civic-mindedness and co-operation within the national community to improve life for all citizens and the principles of social responsibility. The foremost guardian and product of these principles are tradition, to which we defer-- not without necessary scrutiny-- and regard as the guarantor of national progress, cohesion, prosperity and liberty.

Our defence and foreign policy will be determined following the clarification of the foreign situation.

I'm happy you can finally achieve your dream of becoming a Conservative MP.

Sign me up btw.

[Oakvale]

Having talked to Riley, I think his outline seems like a good basis to start with (edited to include our name)  -

The Conservative Party is a political party formed on a solid foundation of the Five Principles. Each of the Five Principles envisions an America where people are free to aspire, to achieve, and to live happy, fulfilled lives. This party is a vehicle for defending and promoting the Five Principles in the political and social arena.

Work is the key to pride and fulfillment. Being productive is not only the root of all wealth, it is the root of all satisfaction. The Conservative Party  supports America's powerful culture of entrepreneurship and hard work by opposing expansion of the state into economic realm and modernizing our social safety net to truly help those who need it most.

Family is the foundation of our society. It is easy for individuals to think of themselves as individuals and behave accordingly. However, in order to build a society worth living in, we must all be taught the ways our society functions and how to preserve it. The American family is the vehicle through which future generations are taught the principles of the Republic, encourage children to push themselves to new heights, and provide support when our citizens fall upon dark times. Every child deserves to grow up with two loving parents who care for them and provide the stability demanded by family life.

Security, the protection of society, is a vital role of government. The strongest economy with the most vibrant civil institutions is nothing if it can fall victim to violence. The Conservative Party  will support maintaining a strong national defense to protect against enemies abroad and a responsible, strong respect for law and order to protect our society from within.

Community is the guiding principle for life outside of the household. Our vibrant society is built upon the strong foundation of many energetic communities. Our communities are where much of our lives take place. The Conservative Party supports policies that strengthen the building blocks of our communities such as businesses, civic groups, schools, churches, libraries, and other institutions.

Opportunity is a promise our country makes to each and every citizen. The fundamental premise of America is that where you started in life does not set in stone where you will go in life. We believe that this promise hinges on having a vibrant society, protected and strengthened by the other four principles, and a fundamental belief in the right to self-determination. Upholding our promise of opportunity is contingent on a robust economy to facilitate movement across social boundaries.

Organizing the ideas into the Five Principles is a good idea. It provides the framework for the whole conservative movement. My write up also positions the Conservative Party as the defenders of a set of values rather than a wholly political group.

[Simfan34]

I think Oakvale and I came up with the same thing simultaneously...

Agreed.

Too narrow a definition of the family for me. Single parents, grandparents, aunts etc raise children too. The nuclear family as some 'ideal' is the worst thing ever inflicted on society.

I actually agree with that and I'd support a broader definition of "family" in the final manifesto, although I think it'd be fair to say that most people would agree a two parent family would be best if possible (without that inherently denigrating other family structures).

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Not sure how active I'll be but I'm in I guess.

[Foucaulf]

Can't say I would ever join this, but that is one hell of a logo.

I wonder if he actually wants to participate in the game or if he just sought out the words "nuclear family" in order to post a link from some website that is also host to a petition called "Stop planned parenthood from harvesting baby body parts."

I simply wanted to argue in favor of the traditional/nuclear family ideal in response to afleitch's criticism of it.

Agreed. If you want to debate this there's another place to do that.

(To be fair, though, Planned Parenthood is collecting fetuses' organs -- but again a topic for another place)
