Can anybody post a link to the text of this Manifesto ?

Besides, as I already wrote it somewhere, we French guys may have an
opportunity to publish it...

What about this membership? Can members be individual persons or does
each PP have one single vote (both sound cool, maybe the second one
would be more convenient)?

If I might quote myself, this is exactly what I said to Juxi: I'm not
comfortable with world domination plans (though it is cool to think
big). So I guess the "Not one to rule them all, instead one for the
press to call" way pretty seems to be the right (and only possible)
one
here. We absolutely have to be sure that each one of us will keep his
own specifities, convictions, points of view and so on.
