Constitution
At its founding Convention, the Free Democrats voted to adopt a Constitution to govern the party. The current version is available below.
The Constitution of the Free Democrats of Talossa
Party Policy
A. MONARCHIST/REPUBLICAN COMPROMISE
Free Democrats include both monarchists and republicans, but we all put liberty and democracy first in Talossa. We will offer our support to a Talossan Head of State who is continually active, puts the interests of the Nation above defending their own interests and prestige, and acts as the servant rather than the owner of the State. We support Organic structures which ensure that our Head of State operates in this way.
B. CUTTING THE RED-AND-GREEN TAPE
Talossa's government and legal structure is top-heavy, unwieldy, hard to navigate and no fun. We support the repeal of all laws and abolition of all Government posts and procedures which are more trouble than they are worth to keep going. We want a smaller, consistently active Cabinet, a Ziu which offers active oversight of the Cabinet and intelligent scrutiny of laws, and a functioning Judiciary.
C. ÁR GLHEÞ
'N naziun sanc glheþ, c'è 'n naziun sanc coraziun. The Talossan language is not only one of our highest cultural treasures but something which separates our state from all other nations and nation-building projects. Our vision is that all Talossans will learn and use the national language to some extent, and the Government should set policy accordingly.
D. CULTURE
The Free Democrats support Talossan culture built by its citizens, not the Government. A government that attempts to "do Talossan culture" as well as administer the State will quickly burn out.; The Ministry of Culture should work with ordinary citizens, non-governmental organisations and provincial governments to build Talossa's "civil society" - ways to be Talossan outside of the Government, including language, research, sports and leisure. This may include State funding, through contestable grants or prizes for competitions.
