==Economic Policies==
My economic policy revolves around interventionism based on negative income taxes, progressive subsidies and targeted tax cuts, rather than taxation, in order not to crowd out investment and discourage growth. Another jewel in the crown of my philosophy is labour. A high welfare state will be reserved only for those who work, and the government will allocate a large part of public spending on incentives to find work. I don't give handouts. Taxation will be organised in such a way that mega-corporations will receive the same amount, or even more, than a small or medium-sized enterprise, so as to encourage competition in the interests of the consumer and, finally, of the state. Wages will be set through semi-governmental organisations that will act as intermediaries between employers and workers (they'll be called Enterprise Trade Unions, or ETU), so as to guarantee workers a high wage without significant losses to the enterprise, through percentage-based minimum wages and conditional partial coverage of wages by the state for the latter's interests (e.g. the state pays x% of workers' wages in exchange for stock sales or tax increases). ETU decisions will have legislative and judicial weight over state decisions on a particular debate. Lastly, the government will adopt a conservative fiscal system, keeping inflation control as a fiscal and monetary priority, so that the purchasing power of the currency does not fall, which often happens in periods of economic growth.

My ideology is an economically independent and culturally centre-right ideology that advocates a welfare state that, however, also provides progressive business subsidies to fuel competition and pro-consumer growth. Unlike the socialist model of interventionism, my ideology relies on tax cuts, subsidies and negative taxes, rather than regular taxation, so as not to drive away investment. My ideology is culturally conservative, but with progressive views on abortion, LGBTQ+ rights and contraception, although it condemns the movements that represent them Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination .

Economic Policies

My economic policy revolves around interventionism based on negative income taxes, progressive subsidies and targeted tax cuts, rather than taxation, in order not to crowd out investment and discourage growth. Another jewel in the crown of my philosophy is labour. A high welfare state will be reserved only for those who work, and the government will allocate a large part of public spending on incentives to find work. I don't give handouts. Taxation will be organised in such a way that mega-corporations will receive the same amount, or even more, than a small or medium-sized enterprise, so as to encourage competition in the interests of the consumer and, finally, of the state. Wages will be set through semi-governmental organisations that will act as intermediaries between employers and workers (they'll be called Enterprise Trade Unions, or ETU), so as to guarantee workers a high wage without significant losses to the enterprise, through percentage-based minimum wages and conditional partial coverage of wages by the state for the latter's interests (e.g. the state pays x% of workers' wages in exchange for stock sales or tax increases). ETU decisions will have legislative and judicial weight over state decisions on a particular debate. Lastly, the government will adopt a conservative fiscal system, keeping inflation control as a fiscal and monetary priority, so that the purchasing power of the currency does not fall, which often happens in periods of economic growth.

TL;DR: Low company taxes, cooperative capitalism, high welfare state for workers only, reformed unions based on (actual) collaboration
