The Om party

Mission
To provide a haven of free thinkers looking for a better new world. Victory goals are individual but also collective: a strong Belgium caring for but also cared for by strong citizens.
- Economic orientation (center): we want a healthy state interference for solidarity redistribution but still low taxes. High real wages and a strong, transparent Treasury are a priority.
- Social orientation (anarchist): we do not support totalitarian politics or dictatorship in any form. As many themes as possible should be discussed and decided together in a free, respectful atmosphere.
- Political orientation: we ally with parties that share our values. Raw individualism is not our option. We see the Belgian flag on the map as a definite goal. A common effort for common rewards.
- Environmental orientation: clear accounts make good friends. A constructive attitude makes it possible to build something up. The Om syllable (praṇava or omkāra) can heal.
