Also, point 1 shown by Anton is wrong, as it exclude other options and present a ... bizarre one -not dealing anymore with anyone- as if it were the real one. Not being in a coalition is totally different from not negotiating with that or other groups, issue by issue.

Let me specify that not being in a coalition doesn't disallow to
negotiate issue by issue; simply, it disallows to unconditionally
support another party.

While I appreciate your consenssus efforts :) the thing with that approach is that, instead of being a compact
movement, we would may find -e.g., with 8 MPs from 4 countries (not
enough to have our own parliamentary group)- 2 MPs from country A
having joint greens, 2 MPs from country B having joint communists, 2
MPs from country C having joint 'liberals', and 2 MPs from country D
-namely, Spain- staying in non-inscrits; it wouldn't look quite much
like a international pirate movement, but a bunch of MPs each one following an own way.

Actually what Uppsala Declaration encourages: promising that a coalition would be held anyway. Regards,

                                                                 Partido Pirata National Board's Chairman

P.S.: As I said in my former mail, I agree on what we stated last night, about focusing on the
Manifesto thing instead continuing this argue -as I think each one's
stances are pretty clear-. 5 pirate parties out of 12 have already
filled in this wiki page their sections -Piraatti Puolue, PPUS, PIRATA, Piraten Partij and the Danish pirate party-.

P.P.S.: Piratpartiet, Parti Pirate, Partia Piratow, Piraten Partai, Deutsches Piraten Partei, Piraten Partei Oesterreichs and Australian Pirate Party have to yet. Common, the quicker we do it,
the quicker we'll be able to start developing the Pirate Manifesto's
First Draft :)
