Do you believe that having multiple political parties truly enhances democracy, or does it create more division and confusion?
it enhances democracy because more parties represent a wider diversity of opinions and proves that politics is not black and white.
@9V2RQZD2mos2MO
I believe it does make your own view represented instead of having 2 parties to pick with 2 views.

What does fairness in policy-making mean to you, and do you think current political systems reflect that value well?
@9V2RQZD2mos2MO
Fairness in policy is key to parliament and having fair policy is also a major stand point for gaining votes.

How would you balance the needs of the present with the needs of the future when making decisions?
@9T5XTMN3mos3MO
Decisions should look at getting the best outcome for both the present and future
