Issues that are outside<br>> the
scope is up to the individual MEP to decide on at their discression. Make sure you vote for<br>> the person you belive will represent your views.<br>><br>> B) The party takes no stance on issues not related to the core platform. Instead these issues will<br>> be used as leverage when barganing with other MEP for votes on issues we DO take a stance<br>> on. Basically we'll sell our votes with the purpose of succeding with the reforms we prioritize<br><br>C) The party takes no stance by its own initiative on issues not related to the core platform. Instead would be citizens, with proposals supported with signatures -and with enough consenssus (i.e., not so many signatures against)-; or other parties in the context of parliamentary dealings concerning non-core issues, though only for specific issues -not as a term agreement-, and only after consultation to the citizens at the same Social Grid used to receive proposals and signatures for
those proposals; the ones who would move us to support or reject anything outside <span style="font-style: italic;">non-cores</span>.<br><br>Regards,<br><br><br> Carlos Ayala<br> ( Aiarakoa

speed on what the latest<br>> concensus is. (Havent been actively involved
in pirate politics for close to a year)<br><br>Maybe Felix was talking about Alonso (a.k.a. <span style="font-style: italic;">NUVLEAR!</span>) and Max (a.k.a. <span style="font-style: italic;">stupid, numbskull</span>, etc), when talking about not stimulating certain kind of PPI list users.<br></div></div><br>
