Splomp
I like to add little stuff to stub articles, like relations or grammar fixes. I'm a bit of a pushover when it comes to politics.

Economics
I really like the Ordo-Liberal idea that monopolies and big corporations are the way markets stagnate. I'm pro markets, but anti-exploitation and anti-big corps. I believe the best way to achieve a truly free, fair market is though welfare, moderate regulation and and trust-busting. Co-operation between unions and bosses are great; it maximizes efficiency and satisfaction in the market.

Welfare
I think that the way the modern welfare state is executed is inherently flawed. If you draw the line saying that "Everyone below X wealth level gets government support", you create a situation in which people lose money if they get any wealthier. The ideal solution would be a UBI, but that's too difficult to fund. Something between the modern welfare state and UBI would be the best form of government support. I'll get back to that in the algae section.

Culture
I'm a Progressive. For me, this means I am all for social progress, like Woman's rights, racial minority rights and LGBT+ rights. I do act like a bit of an old man sometimes though (I genuinely believe that kids spend too much time on their phones these days).

Democracy
I like democracy, and believe it's the best way for citizens to have a roll in politics. I'm skewed towards Direct or Liquid, but Republics are serviceable. I'm also an E-Democrat.

Environment
Climate Change is an era defining issue in politics and without. I think that we have to act quickly and decisively to combat Co2. This is where to algae part comes in. Algae absorbs tons of Co2, so the government should form an algae trust that has complete control over the market. The stock is divided into halves: 1 owned by the government, 1 collectively owned by the people and 2 by the workers of the trust. It's governed through a 1 worker, one vote principle and has no bosses. WIP
