Hot tip for Moonshotters: Use this data to package job-creating election policies - and win in ’24

Loading player...
With data going back to 1975, the Fraser Institute’s Economic Freedom Index provides empirical evidence of the direct correlation between the prosperity of countries and how much choice citizens have in how they may apply their energy and their money. This is reaffirmed in the just-released 2023 Index, which showed the ANC’s socialist economic policies continue to hurt the nation’s ranking on the Gold Medal of such indices - SA is down from 32nd at the turn of the century to 94th this year. Neil Emerick of the Free Market Foundation has been analysing the report for decades. He reckons it is the perfect template for Moonshot Pact political parties that can apply the data to develop a platform to campaign job-creating policies. Something which holds the key to winning the 2024 National Election. - Alec Hogg
