The Atlantica Party will Slash MLA Pensions

The Atlantica Party will reform Nova Scotia MLA pensions. The Atlantica Party's mission of a smaller, more transparent and accountable government means our representatives need to set an example of lower costs and less waste. Therefore, an Atlantica Party government will replace the current 22 to 1 (that is, taxpayers contribute directly and indirectly 22 times more than the MLA) pension scheme with dollar for dollar personally directed RRSPs where MLAs and taxpayers contribute equally.

The Atlantica Party Commits to Free Votes

The Atlantica Party calls for all votes in the Nova Scotia Legislature to be free votes.  Like free speech, voting in the Legislature should be completely free. Without free voting, our democracy is a sham since party interests come before the people's interests. Currently, MLAs have their vote dictated by party functionaries, or they face discipline, including denial of caucus posts, committee positions, travel and all kinds of legislative, budgetary and constituency favours. There is also the risk of not having nomination papers signed, a premature end to a political career and expulsion from the party.

The Atlantica Party’s Position on Identity Politics

In order to have a functional democracy in which every person has a voice and in which the ideas that are generated by citizens are given serious consideration by political leaders, it is important that conversations take place in a context in which only the merit of the ideas that people raise are discussed, as opposed to the worth of the ideas being prejudged based on the characteristics of the person who is voicing their views. For example, a core principle in Canada – and one to which the Atlantica Party adheres – is that the worth of an idea is dependent only on the value of the idea itself as opposed to that same idea being better if a man voices it than if a woman voices it or the other way around. In other words, the Atlantica Party is opposed to prejudice and instead believes in common humanity politics instead of identity politics – a topic that has worked its way from the fringes of academia into all parts of our society and is now covered as fact in the public education system, often without parents’ knowledge or consent.
