<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I disagree with your position. Yours is a bad example nowadays since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons">several countries have their own launching codes</a>. Inter-country (read group of people) stability is stronger when power is distributed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Moreover, the empowerment is a fundamental concept in pirate philosophy and a great value in order to avoid unfair rules. In my opinion, separation of power must be an option and should be used by individual parts.</div>

Whenever I talk to German Pirates about the idea of doing a<br>
political party without an effective separation of powers<br>
they quite naturally tell me it cannot work. In fact in<br>
Germany it's the law prescribing that parties need to have<br>
seperated legislative, executive and judicial powers.<br>
<br>
Somewhere some Pirates instead think that this seperation<br>
of powers thing is old-fashioned and an expression of the<br>
"system" as we know it.<br>
<br>
This is a valuable rebellious way to see it, but the visible<br>
consequence of this is that some verbally powerful people<br>
dominate the social habitat, while others, who feel unjustily<br>
treated or merely observe the behaviour of the ones in power,<br>
quickly steer away from participating and contributing to a<br>
common project. Thus, an actual political party never is<br>
formed. I could say, it remains the playground of a handful<br>
of bullies, but luckily I haven't seen any Pirate Party in<br>
such bad conditions. I am just theorising that it could end<br>
up that way.<br>
<br>
I am thus wondering if proper Seperation of Powers should be<br>
a criterion for full members of the PPI. A decision of this<br>
kind on international level would probably catalise the<br>
necessary reforms to make some PP's more functional than<br>
they currently are. I think there was some decision about<br>
requiring proper internal democracy in PP's, but does that<br>
imply a Separation of Powers?<br>
<br>
Just wondering if I am hitting a nail on the head or if I am<br>
just trolling without knowing myself.<br>
<br>
