Content: To empower people, and the vote, with a strong position based on the strength of choice and the honor of well reasoned consideration. To formulate policies and solutions that regard short, medium and long term considerations at all levels. Philosophical Overview
The Centrist Party supports candidates and public policies that enable the development of free enterprise, limited government and individual liberty, while protecting the common good, well being and the economy of the public at large. The party shall endeavor to provide a solid foundation for candidates who abide the platform tenets, reject special interests, and keep the common good of the public first and foremost in policy determinations. The Centrist Party will endeavor to support candidates and legislation that provide reasonable and pragmatic solutions directed towards the public interest and the strength of the nation. The Centrist Party (CP) opposes the abuse of government by representatives that offer legislation that is self-serving or intended to aid in re-election rather than support the public interest. The CP does not support candidates, propositions or policies that enable the agenda of special interest groups while sacrificing the common good of the general public and the national interest of the United States of America. Economics
Free markets have important self regulatory qualities and government should act in a discretionary manner in order to actively stabilize the economy over the business cycle in order to enable healthier economic potential. Certain derivative markets, properly regulated, have illustrated such stabilizing effects in the 20th century. Monitoring market changes, regulation and capacity, in relation to supply, demand and resource capacity, provides a basis for longer term considerations.
