The Reveille Times reached out to major congressional representatives and party leaders to assess the legislative agenda for the incoming Congress session.
Elections invariably reshape the political landscape. Parties often find themselves abandoning campaign platforms due to coalition compromises or practical limitations in securing passage. However, one thing still remains, and that is the shifting priorities. To provide you the readers clarity on congressional direction, we surveyed leadership from each major party about their upcoming focus on legislation. Future coverage will include interviews with independent representatives.
Representatives from all major parties were asked about their legislative priorities and implementation strategies for the upcoming session. GER leadership has not responded for comment.
LfR Focuses on Financial Crisis Management
We went ahead and reached out to the Speaker of the House Omegabiebel, of the party LfR.
“The current highest priority for Congress is making sure that the Vanguard collapse is handled properly.
It is a complex situation and people’s savings are at stake. There cannot be any mistakes. The presiding officers are working directly with the FRB, DOC, DOJ and the president to make sure that they have everything they need to make this solve this problem as painless and as quickly as possible. In general I expect that finance will be a pretty high priority seeing how both major parties (LFR and WPR) had these topics in their campaign. The sector needs serious reform as we are so painfully made aware.
We will also have to monitor the plot crisis, and make sure that the measures that were taken actually have the intended effect. Aside from that since the LCC has been filled, I expect that the legal code will be voted through this term.”
LfR’s agenda centers on financial crisis response and regulatory reform following the Vanguard collapse.
WPR Heads Course on Regulation and Finance
We reached out to House Representative Kaiserin, the Chairwoman of the WPR.
“My most immediate personal priorities are getting the revised Plot Regulation Act through, addressing the needs of the executive, especially the DOC, and doing what i can to regulate and stabilise the finance industry. i hope to see all of these issues and more addressed in my time in congress this term. From a party perspective, i want to encourage as much activity as possible from our congresspeople first and foremost, and of course, we’ll all be looking to implement the party platform that is voted on by our membership, and is due to be updated within the next several days.”
(The interview was conducted before the WPR party convention on 16 May to 20 May)
WPR chairwoman cited plot regulation, Department of Commerce needs, and financial stabilization as immediate priorities for the WPR.
The Party Emphasizes Democratic Principles
We contacted House Representative Rubi of The Party.
“The main priority is to be there, to be there for the concerns of the citizens and to be there for the citizens.
We also have goals that we want to reach, for example the reimplantation of an ambulance, or the public information service, especially the last one should be very complicated. The strengthening of democracy and transparency, like small changes, or bit larger ones like making it a duty for every party to democratically elect their candidates. We also have some money but these seem like the most important ones. But as said we are committed to listen to the concerns of the citizens and get that into the house.
It appears that The Party is focusing on non-economic matters this term, but determined to defend the democratic principles of our Commonwealth.”
The Party appears to be prioritizing civic engagement and democratic institutions over economic policy this term.
RRP Provides Brief Response
We reached out to RRP leader, recently re-elected Senator End.
“*points to party program* (I imagine them) going well. The final bills will look sexy.”
Senator End’s brevity left RRP’s specific legislative agenda unclear, though he expressed confidence in the party’s published platform.
