The Civic Democratic Party is a political party that is dedicated to maintaining fiscal and social practicality within Taijitu.

Political Stances

• Money is ultimately what is important to the region, so the budget must be balanced at almost all costs.

• There is no longer a need for labor unions, as working conditions are now maintained by regional and WA legislature.

• The Party has no official religion, and all religions are and should be viewed as the same, with no special preference to one religion or another.

• Every citizen is guaranteed certain inalienable rights, such as Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Expression, Right to Bear Arms, Freedom of Opinion, etc.

• Any breach of these rights is totally unacceptable and the individual or group that breaches said rights is subject to major consequences.

• The personal privacy of citizens is paramount, and no part of the government should be allowed to breach the relative privacy of an individual.

• While personal privacy is important, freedom of information from the government and corporations is also very important, and keeps a level of trust between the "upper class" and the average person

• The bureaucratic cabinet is key to keeping the delegate, balanced, however,

• The bureaucracy is too large compared to the Senate, and either the Senate needs to be expanded or the Ministries consolidated.

Structure

• Any citizen is permitted to request to join the CDP by inquiring on the forum page dedicated to the CDP.

• A candidate running for the office of Delegate is required to select a running mate from the CDP. (Except for in the case that there is too few available members in the party to run as Vice Delegate)

• Members of the Party may move for the party to endorse and/or nominate any citizen running for public office within the Taijitu government, regardless of the candidate's party affiliation.

• Any changes to the structure of the Civic Democratic Party may be enacted through internal voting withing the party.

• The chairman of the CDP is the leader of the Party. The Chairman is selected in an internal election, held the 1st of every month.

• In the event that the Chair is vacated for any reason, there shall be a prompt Special Election, the date of which will be approved by a majority vote within the party.

• The chairman's duties include making official public statements on behalf of the Party and approving or denying applications to join the party.

• When elections for chairman take place, any CDP member may endorse/nominate any other CDP member.

History
