I'm about to start on another of my 'projects' which will take a while,
but hopefully be of some use (especially for the US). I'm going to be
looking at democracy. I'd like a little bit of help with the research,
in that I want personal and local insights.


I would like to know your countries requirements for qualifying as a
political party. I would also like to know the personal experiences of
those that have tried to set up parties and the level of interaction.
Were the bodies helpful, did they needlessly quibble on the most minor
points, were they unhelpful in general? Basically how hard did the
groups responsible work to facilitate democracy by enabling the
establishment of political parties.

Some of you have talked to me of your experiances in the past few years,
and that's part of the motivation for this. However, I would like to
have all the information together. So, even if you've talked to me about
this in th recent past, having it again, concisely would be much
appreciated, as it cuts down on the muddle.

You can either send to the list, or direct to me (at ktetch at gmail.com)

Yours
Andrew
