What role do disasters play in government? Do they provide a political advantage? As our election approaches these are serious questions all parties need to ask themselves.

The PLP party believes that disasters, although disappointing and costly, can help out the activist parties. We are a more liberal party so, we tend to be involved in a more active government. We fight for the people and promote progress when disaster come our way. If elected and disaster strikes the Franklin States of America, the PLP party will do everything in its power to get the economy back up in certain cases, or we will create opportunities for small businesses to get started and prosper. This help will get our country out of economic disaster.
The LAP believes that when disaster strikes our homeland, whether its natural disasters, terrorist attacks, etc. that the national government needs to step in and aid the people. Whether its providing money or upping our security, the national government needs to be there and protect the people.
We also feel that it could go either way on providing a political advantage during a campaign. If the government acts how the people would like and aid the people in a successful manner (ex. government aid in Katrina) then it could be a political advantage for a party, especially when its time for re-election. But if a party reacts negatively or in a way the American people do not favor (ex. War in Iraq, Bush's/Republican views on the war)it can greatly hurt a political party in the long run.

A disaster to a nation can be both beneficial and a disaster for the administration in charge. If handled correctly and promptly, the administration will flourish. Though this is often not easy to do. There is a balance of power that needs to be kept in handling a disaster. An administration cannot be free to do whatever it sees fit to fix the disaster, but if something has to be done, then the administration has to walk the tightrope, that is solving the disaster. Though i believe that the government usually does the best possible job it can do to solve must disasters and can be trusted. That does not mean the government should not be questioned, but to reach a solution, the government needs to have the consent of the people.
The FAP believes that disasters can help activist parties, but the party should not focus most of it's energy on ensuring this happens. They should be focusing their attention on the problem at hand, the disaster. Though conservative groups tend to support a less active government, the FAP promises that if a disasters strikes our nation, we will work to resolve the issue. Government should not ignore the words of the people, especially when they're asking for help.
The CRP believes that in the event of any disaster the government should be their to help the people, whether it be with funds or more security. Although the CRP is a more conservative party, and republican parties tends to want little government action, the CRP feels that with a disaster the government should not ignore the people or the problem at hand.
Nothing good can come from a disaster. The PFP believes that it is not a political advantage for the government in acting upon a disaster, rather a duty. Any government should do their best in fixing a disaster in that country. The people should expect their government to do the best no matter what. In any circumstance, the government should be expected to do their best, not look at it as a political advantage.
TUPP believes that we should make sure whenever disaster hits we can find some way to help our nation, and make sure we truely help not just say that we will; because in times of disaster our nation will need our help. The TUPP will make sure that in time of a disaster we will do everything in our power to help our nation out. We will try to get the governments support to help the nation out.
