If elected, I will propose an efficient trading strategy. I will lobby for the production of more freight, as delivered freight will aid us both in the scientific field, as well as providing cash for rushbuying spaceship parts. Food freights can also be used to incrementally build spaceships as well.
Ultimately I would like to see us focus on delivering Freight to China/Japan, as they are our closest neighbours and thus, the journey is shorter. Shorter journey = less risk of our convoys being attacked. This is what I mean by 'efficient' - there's no point in spending several turns trying to get a demanded freight to a Mongol city, when we could deliver it in 1-2 turns to China, and free up a new supply commodity in that time.

We can't build Components and Modules without Plastics and Superconductor. Delivering Freights will get us those techs faster. As well, any freight that yields a payoff of 200g or more equals the value of a freight used to rushbuy...
So delivering Freight (assuming decent payoffs) gives 2 benefits, while using Freight for SS parts only provides one benefit (50 shields = 200 g).

Incidentally I don't think that my opponent's race is relevant here. Democracy is colour blind!
