Hi,<br><br>I miss a reference to the "Direct Democracy".<br>We in <a href="http://PIRATA.CAT" target="_blank">PIRATA.CAT</a> defend the right to vote everything (according to the ideary & human rights), we want to promote the citicen participation in politics.<br>
<br>We have lots of support for that, as in Spain it's illegal to do a referendum...<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 1:37 PM, Rick Falkvinge (Piratpartiet) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rick@piratpartiet.se" target="_blank">rick@piratpartiet.se</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
after five years, I have tried summarizing the basic principles of what<br>
we stand for under eight headings. These principles would be combined<br>
with each other and with observations -- think of the Civilization Tech<br>
Tree with these eight at the far left end -- to form more and more<br>
specific policy.<br>
<br>
This way, we would not just know what our policy is, but we would know<br>
WHY our policy was a certain way, and if an assumption fails, what<br>
previous decisions fall along with it.<br>
<br>

<br>
I am suggesting Privacy, Transparency, Culture, Knowledge, Swarm<br>
Economy, Humanity, Quality Legislation and Pragmatism as the eight basic<br>
principles that all our other policies can emerge from.<br>
<br>
If this seems sensible from where we stand today, and the policies which<br>
quite clearly derive from these eight today, then I believe we would be<br>
able to build a complete ideology from these eight principles in a<br>
Civ-style policy tree.<br>
<br>
Thoughts, comments?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
