Ideology

Although the party uses the word Republican in its name, the KRP's leader said they "will not make a Republic of Cambodia".[2] However it does believe in a combination of ideologies from the right-wing, left-wing and liberals. It promotes ideas of protecting the constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia and Cambodia's "national sovereignty" as well as Cambodian culture and religion.

It also promotes are creating jobs to improve "the living standards of the people" and improve the Cambodian economy, agriculture and industrial sector. Construct real democracy, promote and give hope to Cambodia's "workers in all types of factories, enterprises and companies" will assert their right to have "compensation according to their strengths and duties". They should get an "incentive bonus, hourly pay and other pay in line with international standards".

Khmer Republican Party claims to wish to protect "free market trade inside and outside" Cambodia. Apart from that it also requests freedom for the "press and religion" to express themselves.[1]

gollark: <@199529131224989696> I was thinking about stuff recently, and you know when you said `allow for introspection, imagination and probably also analysis of the outside world` when I asked `What does consciousness actually do, though?`Maybe you would need some form of consciousness, whatever that is, for introspection, but you don't for "imagination" and "analysis of the outside world". You can do those with simple "AI" like we use for games.
