About Us (#post_about) | Our Aims (#post_aims) | Our Roster (#post_roster) | Donations (#post_donations)
About Us:
The Social Democratic Party of Los Santos is a political party that was founded early 2016 by a group of Los Santos citizens who would like to participate in political activity while having high ambitions and ideas for the future of the city, hoping to offer the inhabitants a fresh new alternative to the current political situation. The Social Democratic Party believes in the concept of social democracy, which means that our primary goal is to build a just society based on the principles of freedom, equality and solidarity. We thus aim to create the conditions to lead to greater democratic outcomes, committing ourselves to policies to reduce inequality, oppression and poverty.
The Social Democratic Party of Los Santos is made up of different people with different paths of life. Despite that, these people share the same political views, having an essential thing in common: the belief that progress makes prosperity. Hence the origin of our slogan. This diversity of interests and unity of the cause are what keeps the Social Democratic Party of Los Santos, the party of the people, standing and working to ensure its vision is a reality.
Our Aims:
The Social Democratic Party of Los Santos believes that by the strength of our common endeavor we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each one of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are accessible by everyone not by the few; where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties we owe and where we live together freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect.
The Social Democratic Party of Los Santos is ambitious for Los Santos' future. We want Los Santos to be a city in which every person has opportunity and dignity. We are a new party, unhindered by the past and the old style of politics. The people of Los Santos have enormous resources of energy, creativity and compassion. We deserve better than an economy that swings between boom and bust; a political system that refuses to be accountable to its citizens; public services that fail those citizens when they need them the most; and a society hampered by division and injustice.
We advocate honest politics that work in the best interests of the people and not the Party or the selected few. We are asking the Los Santos people to join us in building new politics that refect the best of local culture. The most prosperous, inclusive and progressive countries on earth are social democracies. Although the comparison between a real life government and a game government is absurd, we still believe in the applicability of it. We know that a strong, creative, prosperous, fair, equal and democratic city in which everyone has the opportunity to achieve their potential, is not just an aspiration. It can, and should be, Los Santos' reality.
Achieving this requires equal focus on three core areas.
First: Policies that support a healthy, inclusive and progressive society.
Second: Policies that ensure a strong, stable and vibrant economy, and support initiative.
Third: Policies that make politics and government more transparent and responsive to public, rather than Party need.
To these ends we consider the following as a few of our many objectives;
- Free economy: It is widely accepted that free markets are the right mechanism to produce and distibute goods. The common approach is to seek a balance between liberalizing markets as much as possible, whilst allowing for as much state intervention as is needed. In other words, the state intervenes to prevent the formation of monopolies that would destroy small competition. We want to ensure competition and economic liberty.
- Supporting entrepreneurship: Small businesses, entrepreneurship; these are the words used to describe the future of economic growth in Los Santos. The citizens are aware of this. What's missing is the guidance about local action to foster an environment that encourages small business developers. Small businesses not only employ local residents but make our economy vibrant. As they grow, these face new challenges and will likely need resources to support them. We will provide policies to support them.
- Better health care: We favor a free health care system. We recognize the right of every one of us to free medical treatment. Hospitals and clinics should be of an acceptable quality, as well as its infrastructure and personnel.
- Border control: We would like to set up permanent checkpoints at every entrance of Los Santos, in order to increase the local security and prevent malicious individuals and criminal groups from risking the safety of the citizens.
- Taxation policy: For public services to be financed by the state, it is important to plan a taxation policy. It takes money from the free market in order to provide services and goods for the public. Such public goods and services especially benefit the poor, because they pay lower taxes or no taxes and could not otherwise privately finance things like health services. The system of taxation is described as a form of redistribution of wealth in order to promote social justice.

Nikolai Mironov was born March 3rd,1976 in Russia. His father is Vladamir Mironov and his mother is Svetlana Mironov. He had a terrible childhood where his father would have him cite many Soviet related topics. Nikolai hated it, but he had to memorize a lot of it. Nikolai was already working at age sixteen. He first worked in farms, but then at age thirty, he was a factory worker in an assembly line for ten more years. At age forty, he had finally able to earn enough money to travel to the land of the free, the United States of Argonath.

'Progress and Prosperity'POST REPORT - PRESS CONFERENCEThe first press conference of the Social Democratic Party of Los Santos was considered extremly sucessful in terms of attendance and interaction of the community, who has made constructive criticism and very interesting questions to our members, each one of it addressed and answered. We have officially introducted the party to the citizens of Los Santos, our aims, goals and future plans. The negative remark of the event goes by the terrorist attack, which happened when Mr. Malhoy was answering the public's questions for a moment. A first blow was heard on the stage, and the party's Founder and special guest, Lionel Valdes, has been severely injured, alongside with a civilian, who unfortunately died in the mean time (may God have his soul).
After the 1st blow, the building has been primairly evacuated and the law enforcement arrived. Then, a 2nd blow was heard on the stage, injuring 3 other party members. Lionel Valdes is reportedly in a comma in the All Saints General Hospital, and the other party members have already been treated for any minor wounds and allowed to go.
Pictures for the event:

Published by the Founder on the Party portal, 12/05/2016:
From my interesting meeting with mister Blake, director of the Air Traffic Control authority. Mister Blake and I met to discuss common plans for the development of the city of Los Santos and the increasing role of the ATC from both a security and economical standpoint. We both believe that a solid transport sector is an important component of a growing Los Santos. Why is it so? When transport systems are efficient, they provide social opportunities and benefits that result in positive things, such as employment and eventually a higher quality of life.
The Air Traffic Control authority is determined to make this happen, to contribute to the development of the city by collaborating with air transport companies. Not only does aviation provide the only state-wide transportation network, but it also makes it essential for business, for trade, even for tourism. It plays a vital role in facilitating our economic growth.
In addition, air transport provides significant social benefits. First and foremost: social inclusion, because it is the most used transportation means in remote areas such as islands. Second, it improves the quality of our lives by broadening our leisure and cultural experiences, as it makes connection with our neighboring cities much easier.
Today, air transport has the potential to become an important industry in Los Santos. Both through its own activities and as an enabler of other industries, it could have great economic impacts. These impacts include employment, active airline and airport operations, continuous air traffic control and regulation, and much more. It can, and should be, Los Santos' reality.

Thanks for the kind words, however I won't be the candidate due to my affiliation to law enforcement. It's Mr Cortis, the General Secretary. As a Founder, I'm only at an advisory role. :D

I would like to thank the security staff for their commitment, the Party members for their presence, and most importantly, the citizens for their patience and good will. People of Los Santos, this wouldn't have been possible without you.
Although the event had to be disrupted twice, I believe it should still be seen as a successful one, and we'll definitely see you soon.
