Socialist Party Stickers are recent organizing Conference hint at revitalized role for the SPoK

The last Socialist Caretaker government now a distant memory, a new generation of Socialists have decided to take up the banner of Leftist Institutionalism in Kalistan. An organizing conference, held at Kaliburg Polytechnic University in Kaliburg, ended with a resolution to re-establish the Socialist Party of Kalistan in its traditional Headquarters in downtown Kaliburg, organize a Legislative slate and begin reorganizing the National Party.

Party Secretary Thomas Darby-Linn said the Party would like to focus on restoring the Publicly Funded Healthcare System. "By and large, our Liberal Government has left the Economy alone, but the biggest change they have made, unfortunately is in the privatization of the Health Industry. The effect is to patronize the poor with dehumanizing means testing, and then to leave everyone else to their own devices. The wealthy of course can afford the best care, but that drives up costs for the whole system, including working people as well as the State. The result is that the privatized health system does not serve all Kalistani's equally."

This relatively moderate platform was accompanied by calls to restore the proper title of the Head of Government, the restoration of free pharmaceuticals under ODEN, and the return of the 0% tax bracket, to give the poor a stake in the spending programs in the Republic.

"We are happy that the Liberals haven't gone overboard with altering the fabric of Kalistani Society the way Past right wing parties have, but the SP is obviously committed to the correct alignment of policy and population, and so, we will support the majority in areas of common agreement, and move to change things we disagree upon."

Darby-Linn will remain the head of the Party, until legislative candidates for office are named. Darby-Linn has opted not to run for office.
