Party Platform 'labled in original page as Party Policy' per wiki.talossa.com/Free_Democrats_of_Talossa retrieved 15 February 2021, but not yet updated to reflect newly-passed Platform amendments:
A. CULTURE
A1. The Free Democrats support Talossan culture built by its citizens, not the Government. The Ministry of Culture should work with 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. We will prevent government appropriation of private projects through nationalisation, but where possible provide government support for such projects which need it.
A2. 'N naziun sanc glheþ, c'è 'n naziun sanc coraziun. We believe the state should make, and promote, the widest possible use of the Talossan language.
A3. We support common sense legislation to ensure the rights of individuals to enjoy whatever cultural aspect of Talossa they wish are not hindered by laws limiting the free exercise of expression.
B. GOVERNMENT
B1. Free Democrats support the abolition of the current monarchy in favour of either a ceremonial, non-hereditary Monarchy with cultural duties but only emergency political powers, like that of most of the world's constitutional monarchies; or a new Talossan Republic, depending on what the people of Talossa themselves prefer.
B2. A Ziu Commission of all parties to investigate reforms to the Ziu, including but not limited to the possibility of: a) Cosa and Senäts voting separately over laws; b) A "Real Cosa" with one member, one seat c) A unicameral MMP Real Ziu, with one MZ from each province and 7-12 extra seats from party lists.
B3. Reform of registration fees for political participation, with the introduction of $5 for Senate candidates. ACHIEVED!
B4. Slim down government: cut down on the number of departments, bureaus, and even Ministries. Shift as many functions as possible to the non-political Civil Service and Chancery. Repeal obsolete laws; reform ambiguous or unintelligble existing law.
B5. The Seneschál to be appointed by the King on the advice of a majority of Cosa seats. ACHIEVED!

I propose that plank B1 of the Platform, which currently reads:
Free Democrats support the abolition of the current monarchy in favour of either a ceremonial, non-hereditary Monarchy with cultural duties but only emergency political powers, like that of most of the world's constitutional monarchies; or a new Talossan Republic, depending on what the people of Talossa themselves prefer.
with the following:
Free Democrats support the enactment of the people's will as demonstrated in the Ranked Choice Referendum, that Talossa's King or other Head of State be a periodically elected position.
+ + +

I also propose that planks B3 and B5 of the Platform be removed, as they have already been achieved, and the remaining planks be renumbered accordingly.
