"This may be the first time ever, anywhere, that a political party has offered its election platform in iTunes audiobook format", says Freedom Party of Ontario leader, Paul McKeever.  "Political platforms are read by a dwindling number of voters.  However, in my view, there is not a dwindling interest in politics.  There is simply a decrease in the amount of time available to use ones eyes to read.  Commuting is increasingly common in Ontario, and the need to keep ones eyes on the road for longer and longer periods of time has made it infeasible for a growing percentage of people to sit down and read a 30 to 60 page election platform.  By releasing Freedom Party's 2011 Election Platform in audiobook format - as well as in writing online - voters will gain convenient access to a platform worth voting for, one plank at a time, one chapter at a time." 

The Freedom Party election platform is comprised of 18 planks, and the election platform audiobook dedicates a separate chapter to each plank.  Freedom Party's election platform can be downloaded here: https://freedomparty.on.ca/platform.m4b
