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~~ (maybe), LGBTQ+ rights and contraception, although its movements should take everything more carefully

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

Monetary Policies

I believe that banks should play a fundamental role in the monetary stability of the country. Since my economic programme envisages fast economic growth, it is important to keep inflation at acceptable levels (3% at the most). Therefore, banks will have to constantly adapt their programmes to the current economic scenario in order to maintain a perpetual inflationary equilibrium.

Government

I would like to see a federal presidential republic, therefore with autonomous regions but loyal to the legitimacy of the central government. This republic would crack down on corruption, money laundering and various other behaviours that could damage the functioning and/or image of the state, through heavy penalties and infiltration of parliamentary circles

My personal ideology

I have called the sum of all my political, economic and social doctrines into a new ideology called "Tricolourism", the name of which derives from the tricolour of the post-Napoleonic republics.

Opinion concerning current issues

LGBTQ+ Community's rights

In my opinion, making a distinction between the rights of heterosexuals and all others is like making a distinction between light and dark hair. I see absolutely no reason why a homosexual couple should not enjoy the same rights as a heterosexual one, including the adoption of a child. On the other hand, if you exhibit something obscene during a demonstration, gay or not, it is obscene.

Abortion

I would never abort, but I can't deny that a woman's body is her own, and therefore she has the right to have an abortion. Also, the foetus is not, scientifically speaking, a child. I am only against abortion after a long period of time from conception

Military Spendings

Personally, I don't live in the US, and my country doesn't spend that much on the military, but as far as the yanks are concerned, you can only afford to spend that much money on the military if you have first solved all the internal deficiencies, and as things stand, you are far from that goal.

Education Price

Everyone who has attended college knows what it means to have to save a lifetime to pay for tuition, books and accommodation. I am referring to you, O student who has fallen into the hands of socialism after these bad experiences, try to look at everything more objectively. Imposing a price cut would cause serious problems for the economy and in the long run would only make you poorer.

Trade Unions

I am against the unions, all they do is complain all day and get nowhere. And if they ever did get anything done, their decision would most likely bankrupt the company in question, and all the workers would lose their jobs, or it would lead to the company itself going into a negative balance sheet, forcing layoffs and wage cuts. For my alternative to trade unions, read the economic section

Weapon Dealing

Weapons should be distinguished between tolerable, such as shotguns or drum guns, and intolerable, such as machine guns. Making guns accessible to everyone means increasing crime exponentially, and I am for a clean state.

Drug Dealing and Prostitution

Unlike weapons, which are potential public dangers, drugs and prostitution should be legalised, regularised and taxed. What is best for a prostitute? To be exploited by criminal corporations without protection or rights, or to work legally, earning the state money and enjoying health and human rights? On drugs, however, we should only legalise soft drugs. Some might argue that drugs can be dangerous, especially when driving. And I reply, so is alcohol. All we need to do is tighten up the controls so that the crime rate does not increase.

Immigration

Oof, hot topic. Immigration must be regularised first. For immigrants, I would have in mind a special plan to enable them in the country in the short term, helping them to find work. The immigrant, once he has found employment, would have to repay the debt he has accrued to the state, but in a rather unimpressive way. However, if the immigrant refuses or does not show enough commitment, we will be forced to find him/her temporary accommodation before re-impatriating him/her. We are good, yes, but we are not fools

State Religion, Secularism or State Atheism?

The right to profess one's faith is constitutional, so both state atheism and imposed state religion are anti-constitutional. I can put up with states that have an official religion, but tolerate other faiths as well, in order to preserve their historical identity, which, like it or not, is part of the history of almost every country. I believe that religion should be protected as a cultural asset, in the case of my country, therefore, the Catholic religion, which, objectively, has been and still is a large part of our culture.

Enviroment

I would simply apply the aforementioned principles to gradually push companies to invest in renewable (or nuclear) resources without them having economic losses

External Policy

If economically the more countries are united, the better, militarily, I think it is important to preserve a safe environment for our nation, even through arms sales or direct military involvement.

Crucifix in schools?

In my country, Italy, the debate on whether we should have crucifixes in classrooms is still raging, albeit less than a few years ago. To date, the law only requires it to be displayed in primary and secondary schools. According to critics, the crucifix would be a violation of parents' rights in free religious instruction, while according to the conservative and reactionary wing, the crucifix is part of our culture and should not be discouraged. In my opinion, we should adopt a similar approach to Austria: if a certain percentage or more of students are Catholic, the crucifix can be displayed at the discretion of the school leadership. Finally, if at least half of the classes state, through their class representatives, that they want the crucifix removed, the school is obliged to accede to the requests.

Woke Culture

Woke Culture is, without a shadow of a doubt, the worst element of the culture of the new millennium so far.

United Nations

To recap, the Taliban have taken control of Afghanistan, China is committing countless genocides among Tibetans and Uighurs, Russia still holds Crimea, there is a freaking cartel war in Mexico, Turkey is deporting Syrian and Kurdish refugees, and dozens of nations are fighting jihadist insurgencies. Now, WHERE ARE YOU, UNITED NATIONS?

What does Rome have to do with this?

We all know Rome, the cultural cradle of Europe for years and years. And it is this feeling, this desire to return to being the cultural beacon of Europe, that separates me from pure progressivism. Of course, I don't have the territorial holdings of the Roman Empire, but some territories surely belong to the state of Italy: Istria, Savoy, Nice and the Ticino area. For the rest, in my opinion, the new meaning of restoring the Roman Empire is to become the jewel of Europe, culturally, economically and socially.
