[We will] restore the constitution of the Independent Latvian State from 1940, all the laws and activities as well as close all inherited institutions of the USSR and current bodies, which can reduce the size of the civil service by 15.8 times to 18,908 civil servants... In each municipality it is enough for there to be three civil servants, as it was until June 17, 1940.

We may remain in the EU and NATO, but we must restore national independence!

5. Name three economic measures that could significantly improve the revenue side of the state budget?

1) Economic recovery is possible only with long-term stable and low taxes for entrepreneurs;

6. Do you support the Cohabitation Act, which would also provide a basis for legal relations for same-sex couples?

Homosexuals will die off naturally, because they can not have any descendants!

We support amendments to the constitution to provide for a president elected by the people with wide powers - the number of Saeima deputies will be halved.

8. Should the range of goods and services subject to reduced VAT be extended?

Where did VAT come from? It is a degraded turnover tax on trade, which is intended to promote trade and is in no way budgeted! Therefore, in the ways that the government now acts with VAT, it will be cancelled.

Real estate taxes are simply cancelled!
