I think we should try again to develop the manifiesto to create a common 
ground. And this time I hope at least one representative from each party can 
take the job seriously so that the maifiesto becomes reality. I think this 
declaration wouldn't have been needed by anyone if we already had a 
manifiesto, so we better start working on it so that next time this doesn't 
happen again =)
