New day, new questions...
First, I would encourage all candidates to respond to JCL's questions, including he himself.
- How important will bipartisanship be to you if elected? What record, if any, do you have of bipartisanship in Atlasia?
- A controversial issue that has always been brought up multiple times in the region is the issue of abortion. What is your position on the issue, and, if elected, will you do anything to change the current law?
- The recent GM report shows that for the first time in 2012, unemployment has risen in the Mideast region. What efforts will you take in the Assembly to reduce our regions unemployment?
- Our region has spent years trying to pass a budget. If you're able to work on it in the Assembly next session, how important will it be to you to balance the budget?
Since I kind of missed the first days questions with work responsibilities I'll simply answer these.
1) I think everyone is well aware of my long history as an individual who in Atlasia does not allow partisanship to get in the way of doing what is best, which is highlighted most of all by the fact that most of my time here I have not even been a member of an established party.
2)In terms of abortion I think I am pretty much in line with our region in the sense that I support in in cases of danger to the life of the mother, rape and incest but very little outside of that, I am perfectly content with the current regional statute in that regard.
3)As an individual who is a self-identified economic liberal on the other hand when it comes to unemployment I personally very much in favor of things like infrastructure work programs which not only provide jobs but improve the state of our region to boot.
4) In regards to the budget I think we need to focus on developing a budgetary framework before we figure out how we're going to balance our budget.
