This “party first” system, requiring more eloquence and skills in oratory than anything else, has put our parliaments at the mercy of lawyers, who have always had a disproportionate influence, when what was needed above all were men experienced in the life and work of the great industrial classes.

Principles and Program

Quant aux lourdes taxes que nous demandons pour les chaînes de magasins et d’industries, elles visent, ni plus ni moins, à les faire disparaître.  Notre programme social exige que l’on préfère, pour le bien-être de la population, vingt ou trente mille petites fortunes à sept ou huit grosses fortunes de plusieurs millions.  La multiplicité de la petite aisance vaudra toujours mieux ; que l’exclusiveté de la grande aisance, et c’est à ce but que le Parti National Social Chrétien fera tendre tous ses efforts.

As for the heavy taxes we’re asking for on chain stores and industries, they’re aimed, no more and no less, at making them disappear. Our social program demands that, for the well-being of the population, twenty or thirty thousand small fortunes be preferred to seven or eight large fortunes worth several million. The multiplicity of small affluence will always be better than the exclusivity of large affluence, and it is to this goal that the National Social Christian Party will direct all its efforts.
