Platform: On Foreign Policy, Dietrich-Hall advocates good relations with historical allies and democratic-minded governments. The Common Sense Coalition propose a liberal interventionist as, while they declare that Nyland should not be involved in unnecessary commitments abroad, it is important to get invovled in foreign affairs when the greater good requires it - something that Marionett administration seems to have forgotten.
On economic policy, the Common Sense Coalition recognizes the importance of market forces as well as government intervention in the marketplace. While necessary, the government intervention should be measured and calculated, as the government can end up stifling creativity and ingenuity in the private sector. Dietrich-Hall has critized both the neoliberal "laissez-faire" defended by the Nyland Liberalists and the ambitious redistribution programs often proposed by the left-wing parties, which often may answer a real problem as wealth concentration, but they are difficult to enforce in practice through legislative reforms that unnecessarily burden the national economy. Instead, Dietrich-Hall has declared that the government should try to prevent inequalities occurring in the first place rather than ameliorating them via tax and benefits once they have occured. For achieving that, Common Sense Coalition proposes an economic agenda that includes: strengthening equality of opportunity and social mobility through a gradual increase of the minimum wage, transparency and worker empowerment in the workerplace while keeping a pro-business fiscal policy, providing good quality public services -particularly housing, healthcare and investing in skills of the young-, expanding the investment in education, and encouraging long-term investment.
On social welfare, Dietrich-Hall has promised to strengthen and improve the current welfare state, but at the same time she has declared that it could be introduced reforms to make it more efficient, avoid the waste of unnecessary resources, and that the need of a strong safety net is not contradictory with promoting individual ambition and meritocracy. She has also proposed lowering taxation on wages and gradually lowering welfare payments to those outside of the labour market to increase the economic benefit of working relative to receiving welfare.
Dietrich-Hall has a centrist view on political centralization, considering that the current system has worked well although it could be certainly improved. She has declared that she respects the importance of the states but also recognize the value of shared responsibility and obligation is necessary and prudent for a functioning society. The present system is not considered to be broken and can be worked with to ensure positive changes.
On civil rights, Dietrich-Hall do not believe that government has the right to intervene too heavily into the personal lives of citizens, barring egregious acts. Individual liberty is something to be protected and cherished, but it is prudent for all individuals to sacrifice some liberties for the greater good. During the campaign, she has also expressed to compromise to advance on gender equality, LGBT rights, and social integration.
Political/Campaign History: In 1584, Dietrich-Hall was elected Chairwoman of the Moderate Coalition of Nyland, and she has been a member of the Nylander Assembly since then. She also served in the federal government during Kohout administration, in several positions, as well as parliamentary speaker of the Moderate Group in the Nylander Assembly from 1593 to 1596. Along Martin Vossman, she has been chairperson of the Common Sense Coalition since the centrist coalition was established early this year, following a pact between the Moderates and the Centrist Democratic Alternative.
