Third Way Hails Passage of Bills, Bipartisanship
Jubilant members of the Third Way, Kalistan’s newest political party, can point to recent legislative success as evidence to their constituents that they can get things done. Although voting is still underway, two bills authored by the Third Way, the Make Work Pay Act and the Help Families Work Act, have already received a majority “yes” vote in the People’s Assembly. Another bill, an economic policy wish list called Making Kalistan Work currently has slightly more yes than no votes and appears headed for passage.
However, the Right Front has yet to vote on any Third Way proposals and could conceivably defeat or pass all the current bills being voted upon. Third Way members expressed optimism that the Right Front would support their public safety and Freedom of Religion Act but seemed positive that they would vote against their economic policy bill, which would doom the legislation.
“It’s a great day for Kalistan,” said Eliakim Sherrill, co-author of the Third Way economic platform and Third Way candidate for Minister of the Treasury, “We came together and we accomplished something that will help Kalistani families. I’m very proud of this Assembly.”
Irene Everett, a Kaliburg single mother and hotel maid, expressed hope that the establishment of a minimum wage with the passage of the Make Work Pay Act would help her provide for her child. A religious woman, she was forced to drop out of school when she became pregnant and has been working full time since. “It’s just not possible to pay for myself, let alone my daughter no matter how many hours I work with the pay I get. Maybe now things won’t be so bad for us.”
Irene also benefits from the inclusion of nurseries and pre-school education in basic public education provided by the Help Families Work Act. “I used to never be able to spend time with my child. It was between going to work and looking out for her, and it just tore me up inside. I figure we pay enough in taxes to at least be able to get this back, you know?”
Party chair Bill Sherman heralded support from the Socialist Party of Kalistan and the Patriotic Rebellion as a step forward for bipartisanship. “We were able to put small differences aside and concentrate on the big picture and get something done that will help all Kalistanis. I can only hope this spirit of cooperation extends into the next legislative session, when we expect to introduce more reforms that our constituents demand.”
