Ahh, I thought you just did not spell out millions... ;) In Sweden we say mil about 10 km of distance, very easy for non Swedes to mixup with English miles (around 1.6km)...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 3:28 PM, Rodrigo Pereira <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rodripe@gmail.com">rodripe@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

By the law, we have this steps to a political party creation:<br>
<br>1) One fundation meeting with 101 or more people of 1/3 of brazilian states (1/3 of 26 states = 8 states); The acta of meeting is registered on TSE (Superior Electoral Court) with a statute that regulates the functioning of party and a program that define its politics. The status is written: What is the party b) How it works. Parties in Brazil register two main documents: the party program and the statute. Here we have a relative freedom to write a statute and a program only ensuring that it complies with the constitution. I think is possible register other documents like a declaration of principles in TSE too. The party needs a address in the capital of Brazil: Brasilia.<br>
<br>2) In this point, the party is registered, but not completely. It starts a "Support Campaign" that pick signatures of minimum number of 0.5% the previous election for the Chamber of Deputies. Now its is about 500 mil signatures. The signatures are on paper, you can not use electronic signatures.<br>
<br>3) The signatures have submited to TSE to confirmation. The TSE issue a certificate that allows the party participate in the elections and have space on radio and tv, and receive a share of the party fund. The party is completely registered and participate in the elections.<br>

I'm about to start on another of my 'projects' which will take a while,<br>
but hopefully be of some use (especially for the US). I'm going to be<br>
looking at democracy. I'd like a little bit of help with the research,<br>
in that I want personal and local insights.<br>
<br>
<br>
I would like to know your countries requirements for qualifying as a<br>
political party. I would also like to know the personal experiences of<br>
those that have tried to set up parties and the level of interaction.<br>
Were the bodies helpful, did they needlessly quibble on the most minor<br>
points, were they unhelpful in general? Basically how hard did the<br>
groups responsible work to facilitate democracy by enabling the<br>
establishment of political parties.<br>
<br>
Some of you have talked to me of your experiances in the past few years,<br>
and that's part of the motivation for this. However, I would like to<br>
have all the information together. So, even if you've talked to me about<br>
this in th recent past, having it again, concisely would be much<br>
appreciated, as it cuts down on the muddle.<br>
<br>
You can either send to the list, or direct to me (at <a href="mailto:ktetch@gmail.com" target="_blank">ktetch@gmail.com</a>)<br>
<br>
Yours<br>
Andrew<br>
