Economic Policy
Arwen, Queen of Gondor, is the Economic Adviser for the Fellowship of the King Party. They are proposing "The One Proposition", which is related almost entirely to green initiatives as the environment is their primary issue. The One Proposition is will require public properties to have a determined minimum of trees per acre, as well as encourage green roofs by offering a tax reduction as an incentive. This tax reduction will especially be encouraging on account of the proposed tax increase.
The Fellowship of the King plan on implementing an expansionary policy with progressive taxation. To decrease the deficit, there will be the aforementioned gradual tax increases. The wealthier 1 percent of people will see a 5 percent increase, as well as the gradual tax increase and a harsh removal of loop holes. These changes hope to ultimately cut the deficit in half.
Because their number one issue is the environment, many of their incentives and initiatives are concerned with reforestation and decreasing pollution. They also explained their support for healthcare to be free for all, they seek to offer free herbal remedies, (to save money), and to have tax payer money go toward paying for necessary modern medicine for those who need it.
The Fellowship of the King plans to cut military spending by 4 percent and redirect it to the environment. They believe in a strong military, but plan on directing funds away from nuclear warfare and toward better technology.
The representative seemed generally prepared and clear on the stance for each issue. However, some questions were assisted in the response by an additional party member. Overall the presentation was professional and plans seemed thought through, logical and thorough
The strongest points of Arwen's presentation were when she discussed the incentives for wealthier citizens to participate in the changes made to the taxation system. Thinking far enough ahead as to be able to make predictions as to what might encourage citizens to help their country shows a professional foresight that is crucial in forming any successful government aspect. They also had very thorough policies on tax reduction with statistics on how successful each policy has been in other countries.
The weakest parts of the presentation were the parts that left questions that never felt answered. One of the more of the unclear points was their views on Climate Change and rising sea-levels. With most groups this topic is trivial, but I would hope that such an environmentally-centered party would address such a pressing issue at some point.
