to reduce unemployment to a minimum, and to ensure that the taxes we
pay will be used for the benefit of the entire population and not for
the benefit of special interest groups or corrupt bureaucracy.
We believe that part of loving the land of Israel includes protecting
its wildlife and the environment and we must do whatever we can to demonstrate
concern with future generations by preserving the environment for them.
We believe that the electoral system must create stable governments
and reflect the majority opinion and not provide minority groups with
the power to exercise political power.
We believe that every person has a voice and his civic duty is to make
this voice heard.
