@Tony F The People's Commonwealth will work towards enabling self governance by the people. It will be fun implementing such rule and procedure. And mind boggling the development after 30 years of establishment. One of the first policies the party would initiate, will be accelerating the learning curve and increasing the national IQ. So after 15 years of successive government, the average schooling for a 12 year old will be having completed 1 tertiary degree. As for policies such as drug management. I personally am more liberal in my approach, and advocate for legalisation with education. And with the party, we will let the majority of people decide. Right or wrongly, we will be responsible for our decision making and rule as one in favour of the majority. I may be having to take ASIC to court for granting the organisational name. They are still yet to respond to me from their legal department after 2 months of waiting. It takes 12 months after becoming a registered political party, to seek donations. It will cost the party close to $400K to just fill every electorate with candidates and senators. ASIC have delayed me, and their excuses are unconstitutional and disregard laws set out in the corporations act. Time is on my side, and unless i get a shit load of help which i constantly am asking for. We can only hope i am eventually successful.
