VALLEY VOTES: Stefan Klietsch is an “Idea Person” when it comes to Democracy

Stefan Klietsch is no longer certain he will be a committed “perennial candidate”.

The idea is to build a following as an Independent, then seek a partisan nomination and transfer his base to that total to secure a win.

Is that logical? Stefan says, “Do the Math.”

Except when he was the Green Party candidate in 2015, Klietsch was subsequently expelled.

Stefan has put considerable thought into how to make our lives better, and this election rests his case on three points: a ban on parliamentary prorogation and the notwithstanding clause; empowering petitions as a means of introducing legislation, and shifting government revenues from the income tax system and onto the GST.

If you see signs saying “Stefan Klietsch, your candidate for RNP”, he’s recycled them from last election.

Klietsch is a thinking person’s politician, and after all, money IS an abstraction.

Stefan is no fan of corporate or other monopolies.

Klietsch thanks everyone who responded to a last-minute social media post he’d made April 6th.
