Election: Parties Debate on Economy and Defence

Sir Winston Mofty, leader of the Royal Party, met with workers from the construction industry.

As the election fever is gaining momentum, the Royal Party (RP) and Party United Bricks (PUB) are engaged in heated debates over economic and defence proposals for Legonia.
​
Snitch Briconell, leader of PUB, is arguing for a smaller government, a further cutback on welfare and higher expenditures on defence.

"If you are sick  or poor, it is your fault", said Snitch during an election rally last night in the city of Lyon. He added: " We should not support those who are lazy.  As we are people that are defined by Bricknism, we must know that only the strongest  will survive".  

On defence matter, Snitch argues that if elected, he will increase defence spending so that more Legonians will be hired in the workforce to  produce weapons.

The Royal Party led by Sir Winston Mofty held a rally, attended by some 20,000 supporters,  in Legotown last night.  Sir Winston told the crowd that the PUB's election pledges do not make sense.

"Snitch is a hypocrite. He argues for a smaller government but when his firm was hit badly by the last financial crisis, Snitch went to see the King and asked for government bailouts. What Snitch is saying to you voters is - do what I say, not what I do" , said Sir Mofty.

Prior to entering politics, Snitch ran an investment firm Silverman Brokers in Legotown.  The firm collapsed during the last financial crisis, leaving 25,000 investors penniless. 

On welfare, Sir Mofty said that: " Whether you are a conservative, or a liberal, the point is it is the duty of the government to take care of the people.  Therefore the Royal Party, unlike the PUB party, works for the 99% and we will reduce the tax rate for the working class if elected.  The Royal Party will ensure all Legonians will have access to medical care.  If you vote for PUB, you are voting for Pay Until Bankrupt," said Sir Mofty to a round of laughter and applause from the audience.

Sir Mofty said that if elected, he will work for peace with Malatia, but will also strengthen regional defence alliance. 

Before he left the stage, Sir Mofty reminded the voters to vote for the best candidate in their constituency and concluded that : "The Royal Party - we work for the 99%".

​The Royal Green Party (RGP) held a small rally early this morning, calling for all bricks to be made from earth friendly materials.
