Platform? You mean political platform for EU Election, like "/we are 
going to make this and that, etc/"? Well, actually we're waiting for 
Helsinki to see whether there is finally an agreement on the Pirate 
Manifesto and whether we all do agree or not on making a joint platform; 
there's no currently any PIRATA platform done for EU Election.

I'll use those examples to illustrate the concept to my fellow party 
members, thanks :)

You can bet that for sure, unfortunately :( It however can be easily 
solved with proposals like yours and by helping Andrew Norton in his 
office duties; it requires nonetheless commitment from all pirate 
parties to dedicate several members -even 1-2 members per party, the 
more each party is able to dedicate, the better for the overall result- 
to PPI's PRs Group, IT Group, etc. Regards,

P.D.: For that PPI list user who talks about us being compared with 
/pedo-parties/ (sic) if we summon demonstrations ... no comments on that 
.... well, it's a pity if that user doesn't attend demonstrations, 
however we would make it anyway when time comes. I have the experience 
of starting -not being me the manager, just attending since the first 
one- a demonstration with just 500 individuals in Madrid, against 
University Law reform in 2001 (we're talking about first of October) 
only to end with dozens of thousands of people (we're talking about 
first of December); making one-day demonstrations doesn't work -at least 
in Spain-, specially if few people attends. What truly works are 
continuous, frequent, attendance-raising demonstrations; if today 100 
people attend, one has to achieve 200 people attend next time, and 300 
the following ... like a growing tide.
