Maybe. I understand that there are a lot of "must have" interests in 
*single stances* wich people told you.

Anyway - even if there are possibly many "wrong" recommendations this 
does not automatically leads to the point that doing "nothing" is better ;).

Just for interest:

Actual 6360 Members. I thought that this statistic was about 10.000 once 
upon a hm..long time before. Is the "open support" a support for the 
Pirate Party as such or does you talk about support of other parties for 
the PP core issues?

This is (fully) not comparable with the position I defined. I talk about 
the political landscape and the way wich decisions were made. I talk 
about political strategy - and not about single issues.

We have founding PP´s in Europe +2,x years. At least - it works *not* 
excellently so far. Correct - it could be worse. But this is not the 
same. It´s not bad to be self-confident. But this should not lead to an 
overestimation of the own capabilities and the performance in the past. 
Prepare to be self-critical every time.
