Freedom Party candidate not looking for miracles
The Freedom Party of Ontario has put forward a candidate to run in the Mississauga East riding.
Candidate William Frampton, 30, is realistic enough to know that his chances of taking the riding from Tory incumbent Bud Gregory are minimal, but the computer analyst will consider his campaign a success if a few more people learn about the Freedom Party. "To a new party just getting started, votes are not an objective," says Frampton. "Attracting new supporters, members and activists for the period following the election is our campaign goal."
The Freedom Party was formed in Jan. 1984 as an alternative to the three existing parties which Frampton says "are pretty much alike except for minor differences in what they advocate."
The Riverspray Cres. resident says his party wants a government that protects freedom of choice, rather than restricting it.
Frampton would push for freedom of choice in Sunday shopping, put an end to censorship and abolish government monopolies in order to create competition.
