Yes, it is not in PPI's interest to split up the PP's into smaller parts that will be unable to accomplish there goals, that is not in the PP's or PPI's interest.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>- Nicolas</div>

If I understood it correctly it depends:<br>
<br>
If two parties within a country can't agree on who will get the voting power both of them can join the PPI, but none of them as ordinary member (ie no voting power).<br>
<br>
But I guess that only applies if both parties are about equally strong. If someone were to found a second national party in Germany it doesn't seem a good idea to take the German parties ordinary membership away because of that (13000+ members et all).<div class="im">

i agree. 1 vote per country makes no sense. and it also implies no<br>

what if 1 country has more than 1 party?<br>

in the current statutes there can be only one Ordinary Member<br>
per country, and if there are more than one party in a country,<br>
they can form a federation and join together. They still will be<br>
sharing a single vote.<br>

I, too, don't see how this is a problem. To me this all seems very<br>
similar to the UN.<br>

In the UN, each country is represented by their (supposedly) legitimate<br>
government. Is there any way to determine who is legitimate<br>
representative of some country's pirates if different parties from this<br>
country fail to form a federation? Or the country will be represented<br>
by party who has the right to represent their country and vote simply<br>
because they were first to claim a place in PPI?<br>
