'''Future Citizens''' (Freician: "Tigetua'me Kenetasi"; TMK) is a political party in [[Freice]]. It was founded by public personality [[Kana Tenqel]], developing out of the Freedom for Kana organisation set up to support him in his trial. It has been a member of the [[List of political parties in Freice|MURO Alliance]]-led coalition government of [[Prime Minister of Freice|Prime Minister]] [[Aniara Neileka]].
 
==History==
===Background===
The foundations of TMK are found in the "Freedom for Kana" organisation, which was set up on 23 February 2022 to push for a not guilty verdict in Kana Tenqel's trial.<ref name=": ws">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Concrete Mixer Man Trial: Protest outside court"]. ''Radio and Television Freice''. 25 February 2022. Retrieved 26 February 2022</ref> The organisation was a mass movement, with a particularly strong online presence, and support from Freicians and non-Freicians alike, benefitting from the international nature of the trial.<ref name=": ws">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Concrete Mixer Man Trial: Protest outside court"]. ''Radio and Television Freice''. 25 February 2022. Retrieved 26 February 2022</ref> On the conclusion of Kana's trial, Kana met with the groups organisers, thanking them for their support and pledging to use his "new-found notoriety" to benefit the Freician people.<ref name=": 23">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Concrete Mixer Man Trial: Jury delivers mixed verdict"]. ''Radio and Television Freice''. 9 March 2022. Retrieved 23 March 2022</ref>
 
A poll conducted on 11 March 2022 found that 30% of voters would consider voting for a party headed by Kana.<ref name=": 224">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "1 in 3 would consider Kana party"]. ''Radio and Television Freice''. 11 March 2022. Retrieved 20 March 2022</ref>
 
===Founding===
On 12 March, 3 days after being released, Kana formally registered his political party, ''Kana's Empowered Citizens'', with the Electoral Council.<ref name=": 24">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Mixer Man Kana founds political party"]. ''Radio and Television Freice''. 12 March 2022. Retrieved 21 March 2022</ref> On 17 March, the party was formerly launched at its inaugural conference, where Kana described the party as a "mass movement for the progress of Freice" and confirmed that it would field candidates in the upcoming [[2022 elections in Freice|elections]].<ref name=": 214">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Mixer Man launches political party"]. ''Riamo News''. 17 March 2022. Retrieved 19 March 2022</ref> Kana was formally elected as leader, with Seime Etu elected deputy leader.<ref name=": .1.2">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Inaugural Conference, March 2022"]. ''ktp.faio''. 20 March 2022. Retrieved 21 March 2022</ref>
 
The founding of the party prompted [[Aniara Neileka]] to found the [[List of political parties in Freice|MURO Alliance]] in response to the growing enthusiasm surrounding Kana.<ref name=": .1.1.2">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Neileka forms new party"]. ''Radio and Television Freice''. 17 March 2022. Retrieved 20 March 2022</ref>
 
===June 2022 election and the coalition===
In the June 2022 election to the [[Kivunna]], the party won 44.8% of the vote and 5 seats (half of the available seats).<ref name=": Jun22_kiv">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Results of the Kivunna Election, June 2022"] (PDF). ''Electoral Council of Freice''. 17 June 2022. Retrieved 29 June 2022.</ref> Although the party won the election in a landslide, it became only the third-largest party in the Kivunna. Nonetheless, it became the kingmaker in the following government formation. On 17 June 2022, the party entered into a coalition government with the MURO Alliance, with two party MKs becoming ministers in [[Aniara Neileka|Aniara Neileka's]] cabinet.<ref name=": Coalition1">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Election 2022: MURO, KTP, Napaqo form coalition govt."] ''Radio and Television Freice''. 17 June 2022.

==Principles and policies==
TMK is generally described as a centrist party, holding moderate positions in social and economic policy. At the party's founding conference, party leader Kana Tenqel declared:
{{blockquote
| text =We are a party of freedom, of live and let live, of people who want to get on with life without interference. We believe that people should decide their own future, whether it be what they have for breakfast or what flag flies over them."<ref name=": Kana1">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "'Mixer Man' Kana Tenqel launches political party"]. ''Riamo News''. 12 March 2022. Retrieved 18 March 2022</ref>
| author = Kana Tenqel
}}
The party supports socially liberal policies, including a broadly pro-LGBT stance, the legalisation of abortion, and the decriminalisation of most drugs. According to Riamo News, most party members take a "thoroughly left-of-centre approach to most social issues", although there are a number of conservative members who are more hostile to certain progressive policies.<ref name=": RiamoNews1">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Kana party leads in Freice elections"]. ''Riamo News''. 1 June 2022. Retrieved 12 June 2022</ref> These policies are often grounded in traditional Freician practices, with their approach to drugs and LGBTQ+ rights justified on the basis of pre-colonial practices.<ref name=": RiamoNews1">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Kana party leads in Freice elections"]. ''Riamo News''. 1 June 2022. Retrieved 12 June 2022</ref><ref name=": RiamoNews2">Thompson, John R. (2022) 'Kana's Empowered Citizens: The Left-Right Split in Freician Politics', ''Politics and Policy Review'', 18(3), pp.99-113</ref>
 
The party is divided on economic policy. Some, including deputy leader Kiso Toma, support a more interventionist approach, whereas others, including Seime Etu (deputy prime minister and finance minister under [[Aniara Neileka]] advocate a laissez-faire agenda.<ref name=": RiamoNews2">Thompson, John R. (2022) 'Kana's Empowered Citizens: The Left-Right Split in Freician Politics', ''Politics and Policy Review'', 18(3), pp.99-113</ref> There is broad support for foreign direct investment, and for the diversification of the economy to rely less on tourism.
 
The party is explicitly unionist, advocating for the maintaining of Freice's current status as a subject of the [[Riamo|Riamese Federation]].<ref name=": RiamoNews4">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Kana Tenqel: My party is a unionist one"]. ''Riamo News''. 19 July 2022. Retrieved 21 July 2022</ref> However, it maintains a strong emphasis on [[Hoterallia-Freice relations]] and actively promotes a more active and independent foreign policy in relation to Hoterallia and the Saltstil Pact.<ref name=": RiamoNews3">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Kana party takes Hoterallian vote"].
