Hello your honor, my name is bharatj, and I am here on behalf of the Shrektacular Independent Movement Party. Earlier today, the DPA Secretary, MistyRoses had denied our party application for some questionable reasons that I would like to bring to the attention of the court.
The screenshots attached are evidence of MistyRoses threatening to deny our party registration because she didn't like our party name, and judged the people within are party due to the nature of our party name.
I would like the defense to bring up any sort of evidence allowing the government to exhibit prejudice and make official government decisions on the basis of personal beliefs and connections with a name that had no intention of being vulgar or offensive. Simply because MistyRoses associated our party name with something else, does not give the government a right to censor and/or deny a party registration.
This also brings up a couple other concerns outside of our own party registration:
The DPA secretary essentially has unlimited power to either censor or allow beliefs to be represented in court, as they can "approve" or "deny" political parties as they please. If a party member ascends to this position, they are essentially given the power to censor the voices of opposing parties and belief systems, which is very dangerous for a democracy.
On what basis can a political party be denied at all? Be it its name, beliefs, or members. Any denial of representation of beliefs is in essence a death sentence to the democracy that this server prides itself to have. Due to the reasons mentioned above, and although this is out of the jurisdiction of the court system, I would like the government to look into moving party registrations out of all branches of government and allow for an independent committee to look into party registrations. If that is not possible, and if the government would like to argue that causes of denial would be the same regardless of who approves/denies party registrations, allow me to say this. Why should political parties have to be approved or denied at all? A political party is merely a collaboration between multiple like minded people with the intention of representing their beliefs in the government. Just because a party exists, doesn't mean they will be elected and/or appointed into the government. If a party is a joke, as the government claims, then give the party an opportunity to either succeed or fail. A party with no good intentions will fail to recieve support from an intelligent voting population, and a party that seeks to represent the people well, only leads to better representation. What's the loss there? The current system is basically institutionalized censorship.
I would also like to remind the court that this case allows precedents to be set depending on how the court rules. The court may either establish and/or reinforce its independence as a branch of government, and as an institution that holds checks over the executive branch, or it can establish itself as a branch inferior to that of the executive, with all power of interpretation limited by what the other branches allow the courts to interpret. The court may take the side of individual and collective freedom, or they may take the side of censorship and official decisons based on personal views.
I would like the court to consider all that is at stake in this case and rule to allow personal opinions to be addressed and to allow the people's voices to be heard.
Thank you.
