[pp.int.general] Tyrant banks, walk the plank!

[Kenneth Peiruza]

We (PP-CAT) sort of did it by including a battery of referendum
proposals on these topics in our election program:

- Do you agree with rescuing the banks in trouble?
- Do you agree with cutbacks in the public health care?
- Do you agree with cutbacks in education?
...

This way, we don't "marry" any option, but we put them on the table, and
make it clear that we mind it, but we don't impose any option.

Of course some people wanted more, but that's a way to talk about these
issues without taking side, so, we got a quite complete program full of
referendum proposals for everything outside pirate ideology.

Regards,

Kenneth
