The Constitutionalist Party supports the eventual replacement of the current governmental consumer protection laws with private watchdog agencies. Private watchdog groups for consumer protection are the best weapon a consumer has against corporate fraud and misrepresentation, and the CP advocates the proliferation of such groups in preference to the imposition of more government regulation. The main role the government should play is in enforcing laws against fraud and misrepresentation and leaving the consumer watchdog groups to provide the consumers with the comprehensive information that is demanded. Such groups are always more demanding on corporations than any governmental regulatory agency, and the resulting pressure will cause an increase in the quality of goods and services provided by those companies.
