[pp.int.general] germany election

Wed Sep 25 15:19:10 CEST 2013

That may be a clever comment, Charly, even if debatable.

But do not forget: "To be good at something, one need about ten years of good clever studying, training, trying."

I've got almost 30 years of that. The way our movement thinks it can work... I will always be outvoted by the careless fools that have gotten free reign with their simple numerical majority.

Supported by the foolish careerists like out Überchief who think they can manage foolish crowds to their advantage, damn logic, damn ethic, damn values, damn Statutes, and damn stupid fools.

Everyone who did nothing since the staged PPI GA in Kazan/Brussels being one of them fools.

Antonio.

I think as well than our movement to be successful do not need a full program. Anyway apolitic citizen don't waste their time reading it, full program is boring. We need VALUES, PROPOSALS and good AMBASSADORS who get involved into campaigns, society projects, even outside politics. The more we will do so, the more we will get media attention. Citizen vote for people they know, trust and appreciate. And we can't build this so quickly. To be good at something, one need about ten years of good clever studying, training, trying. And we have to get rid of classic party schemes. We have to act as freely connected individuals towards same goals/projects (falkvinge swarmwise). The less power concentration inside a party, the better we will succeed. Think about it every day ;)

Strange recommendation, coming from one of the least aware Germans :)

Always looking at the bright side of illusions.

13% of Swedes are considering voting Pirates, that doesn't mean that they will (or that Piratpartiet is at 13% on the polls). It's still awesome, but lets keep our feet on the ground.

Don't mess up elections, people don't vote the same for a city council, regional elections or a federal one the reasoning for the vote is completly different. In Sweden PiratPartiet is polling at 13% for EU elections, the double than what they got in EU elections in 2008 and a lot more that they had in their State elections.

considering that at some point in time about a 10% of the german

population was willing to give some new folks a chance, it really

doesn't matter if we ended up 0.2% above or below the previous

result. it's a terrible crash in any case.

i spent some time collecting all the criticism and analysis,

especially from the press, and looking at possible solutions

to the mess.. (in german of course:)

    https://wiki.piratenpartei.de/Wahlen/Bund/2013/Analyse

i'll translate the rough topics:

- promise of digital participation

  (failure to introduce a permanent assembly)

- discipline & fairness (measures to stop twitter shitstorms

  and suboptimal interaction with the press)

- networking (ability to mobilize supporters and members)

- handling of the nsa scandal situation (journalists didn't

  like us bashing the government about it)

- better legitimation of the board

- sorting out priorities in political issues (hello cal!)

- definition of transparency and "social liberal"

- communicate parliamentary work getting done

- less folklore

- strategy concerning faces in public

- presence on the streets between elections

- dealing with false news stories

you may find some of them familiar. note that most of these

points were brought up by *outside observers(!)* writing for

spiegel, heise and especially golem.

the good news is, there are ideas out there to handle each

of the problems. all it takes is the political will and

consensus to take action soon enough to save our europe

2014 campaign.

in fact, if we want to get going on a european scale, the

german pirate party must get back on its feet in no time

and make positive international press headlines before the

year is thru.

i firmly believe we can get back on track if the will to

learn the lessons from the analysis exists. actually we

could take everyone by surprise.
