It is a first draft and we still have time to improve it. I would be happy to 
see some good amendments from you.

What do you specifically disagree with? I read it and translated it to German 
and I think it's a great way of convincing people to vote for us even though 
they don't find all the things they want in our platform.

Since not all pirate parties agree on the Uppsalla declaration I don't think 
that would be a good idea. The points in the declaration itself are a bit too 
short and vague for a manifesto. Let's just continue with that draft, we 
still have time left to improve it and lead it to a good end!
