Left (Liberal) Party

I believe that the Left (Liberal) Party would be the best party to serve our country. I find that a liberal party truly reflects the wants and needs of the voter, not just because the voters who choose the party want the party but also because the party itself is based on the idea that people have freedom of choice.

Liberal control of the United States would be positive by giving citizens the right to make choices for themselves, making the majority of the population happier. Those citizens who believe in one thing could act in that fashion and those who believe in another thing could act in their own way. The majority of people that would not want freedom of expression would be those intolerant of others, which is not something I think our country should promote. After all, wasn’t our country originally created to establish tolerance and promote equality? The government regulation of business would help keep our economy steady and could prevent monopolies from forming. People in need could be sure that the government is always there to support them if needed. Our country being mostly Liberal would also promote environmental action, which would improve how other nations view the United States. Being “green” is beneficial in the long term for everyone on the planet, not just U.S. citizens.

However, Left ideals also have their drawbacks. For some people, choices that would be available in a Liberal government would be considered unethical or disturbing. For those citizens, the United States may no longer be somewhere they feel comfortable living. If the government controlled all business, the government could also control prices and availability of all products and services to the public. A company that could use surplus money to create innovative new products might not have the excess money if the government is too strict. Government support for the disadvantaged might encourage some individuals to work less hard or rely solely on the government for income. The preserving the environment, while a good cause, could be seen by some as a fruitless effort and a waste of space. Preserving areas in nature could prevent further development, and money spent on aiding the environment would have virtually no payback.
