EDUCATION
Academic rigor should be valued more
Teacher pay should be based on skill, not seniority
Low income districts should receive more funding
14.
ENVIRONMENT

Stop supporting corrupt fuel companies
More effort needs to be put in

RECENT eLECTION
They chose not to nominate a Modern Whig candidate in the last election
They are still active and continue to work within The Alliance Party
16.
UPCOMING ELECTIONS
Likely would not vote for the Modern Whig Party in upcoming elections from lack of representation
I support most of their ideas and may vote for them if they had a candidate
17.
CONCLUSION
The Modern Whig Party has brought back some of the ideals set by the original Whig Party in the 1800s
They continue to support a strong legislative branch
Likely to continue within The Alliance Party for years to come
