Official Mandate

1. The Fair Choice Party (FCP) is a new new-left Canadian national political party; with the primary focus on invoking electoral reform in such a way as to increase the size of the vote inversely to wealth; so that poorer people get larger votes.

2. The Fair Choice Party does not wish to be yet another party speaking on behalf of the poor, the FCP wishes instead to give a voice to the poor through a weighted vote. Thus, the FCP remains flexible and does not adopt rigid agendas nor fixed political platforms. Of course, since the FCP represents the interest of the poorer and unimpowered majority the goal of establishing environmental integrity, a sustainable economy, and a respect for the democratic process remain at the forefront of the FCP campaign.

3. The FCP believes in also maintaining some kind of referendum process on a one-person one-vote basis; so that a general polling can be done of the population to monitor the overall acceptance and success of governmental policies.

4. The FCP, in support of the radical left and having its roots in activism movements, recognizes that there are many ways to scale votes! The FCP welcomes all opinions regarding different formulas and vote scaling techniques in the belief that at least now we can come together and discuss our ideas in real, concrete, visual terms.

5. The FCP, in serving its goal of balancing out the power inherent in money, capitalism, and globalization; does not propose scaling votes in favor of the rich or privileged - this it sees as a method of modern slavery and fascism.

6. The FCP does not wish to replace the current governmental structure, only to continually reform it in accordance to the changing values of the poorer people. Therefore, the FCP sees itself only as one of many political parties in the political arena. Even with vote-scaling reforms in place, there is nothing to prevent traditional "one-person, one-vote" political parties from participating in elections. This also means that the FCP can become a very powerful and influential opposition party in the current political system.

7. The FCP will be fully and openly accountable for all its funding and expenses; through viewable and downloadable files on our website.
