Vote Anna Maria Whithdonck-Malsky for MOTC and PM
Hello everyone. As we all know, what Lovia needs is real change, and that is something that cannot be provided by the current political elite. I aim to provide an alternative voice in Congress that can challenge those representing special interests or making a career out of politics.

If elected as MOTC, I will stand for the position of Prime Minister; in that role, I will provide real and non-divisive leadership to our nation of a kind that has not been seen so far this decade. I aim to tackle the issues that matter to ordinary Lovians, not problems manufactured and manipulated for the benefit of the political class. I will happily work together with those of us that share these aims.

I would like to share with you the alternative vision I have for Lovia, and what I think we need to do to achieve it.
 * Working towards the construction of a socialist society. As a nation, we need to engage in a conversation regarding the sort of society we want to be and the values we want to uphold. If possible, socialist principles will be embedded in the constitution. Symbolically, aristocratic titles, such as 'Heretow', 'Baron' and 'King', will be abolished; such titles send an anti-meritocratic message and in particular devalue women. This needs to be a nation which offers equal opportunity to everyone.
 * An end to sectarianism. Lovia is not a naturally divided society. Members of an elite have whipped up divisions for their own benefit. In order to heal, these individuals must be punished, regardless of their status. I aim to reform the judicial system and then pursue legal action against Oos Wes Ilava, Ygo Donia, and any others who have harmed our nation during the civil war or the recent invasion. I intend to push for the extradition of Nikolai Koshkov.
 * Exclusion of harmful groups. In recent years, government coalitions have included parties from across the political spectrum. I am open to this continuing - but with one exception. CCPL has been at the forefront of political controversy since its founding; it is extremely reactionary, with policies that are deeply offensive to most Lovians and that would create an unpleasant, unjust and immoral society. It, and its sister party RTP, can play no part in a government that includes me.
 * Patriotism. For someone to take pride in their state or nation is only natural, and a positive thing. However, cynics have manipulated these emotions for their own ends. We need to ensure all citizens feel a sense of civic responsibility, association with the actions of the central government, and solidarity with one another.
 * A shared economy. I would like to see an economy which benefits every citizen. The greatest injustice of capitalism is the power it hands to a few to exploit the labour of the many. Every worker should reap the full fruit of their labour. While my government would probably carry out some nationalisation, I am particularly interested in establishing cooperatives. I want every employer to provide employees with shares in their business.
 * The environment. What is required on this topic is not woolly thinking but hard-headed common sense. Damage to the environment will result in irreparable damage to our society, economy, and most importantly, will cause a vast amount of human suffering. Two hundred years ago, fossil fuels were barely used by the human race; a hundred years hence, this will once again be the case. We can reach that situation without extensive economic masochism, but it will require extensive investment in scientific and technological solutions. As a micronation, the role of Lovia on a global scale is limited, but my government will lobby the United States and China on these issues, and aim to make Lovia a pioneer in research into environmental and other sciences.
 * A focussed government. My government, immediately after congressional approval, will create a document listing the policies to be achieved over its term. This will provide a list of targets against which the government, together with individual ministers, may be judged at the end of the term. I will also seek for this practice to be made compulsory for all successive newly-elected governments.

My key message is that there can be another way for Lovia. A vote for me will show Lovia's politicians that they have failed. I'm confident that together we can return to the happy, prosperous and progressive Lovia that we once had. --Anna Maria Whithdonck-Malsky 19:50, April 7, 2015 (UTC)
