<p>100% agree</p>
<p>Burocracy is a bullshit in that organization.</p>
<p>We should debate.. or prepare complex actions at international level... not trying to know what is fine or what is wrong with sone kind of members "elected" by necesity but without real world functions except those from burocracy.</p>
<p>PPI needs a Reboot and forget it's a party. PPI is not a party... is only a organization for helping a movement to develop. A trademark. And it is really unclear and stupid that has to have any mandatory functions against other parties from the movement.</p>

With all this 'you<br>
cannot resign without sending us a registered letter' and then<br>
inviting us to donate for buying the stamps for that registered letter<br>
that the PP-AU does not want to send - it has become a Ministry of<br>
Silly Procedures (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w</a>).<br>
<br>
But I still think that the discussions here do have some importance -<br>
as whatever will be the replacement for PPI it'll need to avoid the<br>
same mistakes. And Andrew is very eloquent and precise in nailing down<br>
these problems and that is valuable. Even though he is apparently not<br>
very good in persuading people.<br>
