Green Party announces its Mid-Term Review

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

The Green Party is delighted to announce it will be conducting a mid-term review of Government action. During the third Clark we will be reviewing terpelaziuns, the Throne Speech, and relevant threads to report on the achievements of the Government. Last term, we provided the Talossan people with the first Opposition Report Card to help voters review Government work and compare it against their promises. This time we will give what we hope will be a progress report you can use to show where we are half-way through the term.

We hope this will be helpful as we take our role in the Opposition to hold the Government to account seriously. Stay tuned.

Hi folks,

Information gathering continues for our Mid-Term Review but we have noticed something associated with one of our platform planks in the last election. That being longer Cosa terms. If you are following some of the exchanges between the two largest parties in their groups and recent terpelaziuns then you are aware of early maneuvering for the next election.

In the last election, we proposed extending the Cosa term from 6-8 months to a standard and fixed 10-12 months. Because we continue to believe the election cycle needs to be slowed down. And we need more time for actual governing and less for the constant contentious electioneering. The Government has a somewhat successful record of expanding use of the Civil Service for the purpose of increasing apolitical service opportunities. This will need to be expanded along with the reduction of political ministries.

Longer terms will not lead Talossa's campaign gurus and politicians to starve for want of activity but it might allow those more interested in non-political activities the chance to flourish. And a less frequent cycle of fevered campaigning might make Talossa more attractive at our Immigration offices and at the Landing Pier. Politics is not fun for everyone and we need to acknowledge that by ensuring Talossa has a balanced relationship to it.
