#### Healthcare Policy

#### Police and Security

#### Transport

They state that they will review and effectively reform public transportation schedules, as well as focus on buying new buses and creating new train tracks to cover most inhabited areas of Fanahria. The FLC state that they will implement new technological processes to the transport sector.

#### Immigration

### Controversy

The FLC is the only left wing political party in Fanahria to express "respect to Ayken Lovewater's and his soldier's struggle," and the party leader has stated his respect for Ayken "as a historical figurehead of our country and the fact that he fought for our independence." This has drawn some criticism from liberal left of Fanahria and some historian revisionists.
