We can cooperate to create a best practice's guide to organize an
electoral campaign, so we don't need to start re-inventing the wheel on
every country. This is a good PPI task. (provide organization schemas,
timeline examples, milestones and tracking, links to marketing and
advertisement knowledge... debate techniques, how and when to contact
media and so on) <br>
<br>
So, all that required by a political party running an election campaign
:D<br>
<br>
A Wiki page looks reasonable and will make it possible to extend it.<br>
<br>
<br>
This way we can achieve improved election results whilst still being a
volunteer-based political organization.<br>

> It is good to learn from your mistakes, but it is not your fault
that you had an extremely short preparation time of a little over 3
months (111 days) due to the unforeseen collapse of the Dutch cabinet
on the 20th of February:<br>

> I think we should also learn by our successes so let's look at
there positive track record. In the week that followed the collapse of
the cabinet, the Dutch Pirates (Piratenpartij) came up from there
dormant rest and first questioned there chances of even being able to
participate. They decided at the end of February that it was better to
take the chance then letting it pass:<br>

> There activity practically exploded within the party and on the
4th of March they asked for donations on a international front for a
total of 12200 Euro in order to officially register the party and
participate in the elections:<br>

> It proven much more effective to get local donations and they
worked hard on getting there administration properly setup (setting up
the board, electing a chairman, starting weekly national meetings AFK
etc.) + meetings online and on the 11th they officially registered the
party:<br>

> They worked hard on enforcing there local, youth organisation and
activist movement. The election campaign always had highest priority
and several excellent campaign clips were made, with the last one from
a established artist promoting there message in his video / song:<br>

> There activity sent such shock waves through the movement and
Rickard Falkvinge, the founder of the first pirate party (Piratpartiet
in Sweden), visited the Netherlands on the 7th of June to give them a
boost and follow there potentially historical success on site:<br>

> So why did they not get a seat? <br>
><br>
> It takes a lot of time to get our issues into the non pirate
members head as the lady in the clip mentioned. She was unsure what
Piratenpartij stood for since there message had not reached her. I am
not too surprised since I even meet people in Sweden who signed up for
Piratpartiet believing it was just some online community and others
that was not aware that they could vote for Piratpartiet in the
upcoming election on the 19th of September.<br>
><br>
> The established parties driving issues like job, childcare,
healthcare, security and environment etc. have a commercial propaganda
machine driving TV channels and newspapers that we are struggling with
activists to beat. The Dutch pirates only had 111 days to get it
rolling so it would have been a miracle to get a seat to be honest, but
everyone in the movement were still hoping for it although it is normal
for pirate parties to get a fraction of a percentage in there first
election. It is however necessary to keep on the track and it motivates
activists to start up parties around the globe.<br>
><br>
> I hope that Piratenpartij will not allow itself to get dormant
again and forget all the potential activists among the 10413 voters
(0.1%). They now have to find those activists in order to boost the
movement to get there message out long before the next election that
will probably be in just a couple of years rather then 4 years
considering the stability of the last two coalitions in Netherlands:<br>

> We pirates need to be seen more, not just be on the streets a few
months before the elections, rather promote our ideas through all
channels available to us in the logical and physical world as much as
we can or we will end up becoming forgotten long before the next
election comes up. We need to discuss how to get our message out, the
importance of all our communication channels such as being seen on the
streets, letters to news editors, opinion articles and blogs etc. We
are rather good with the later ones while many of us tends to be a bit
anti-social nerds so kinda shy of meeting people and there arguments in
the physical world so I tend to think this is where we need to improve
our communication skills in order to expose our message.<br>

I hope to be able to post a more detailed overview of the Dutch campaign<br>
so all of you can learn from our mistakes.<br>
