I dont want to be the bloody president, so I havent posted my points as a result ;-) I dont believe in a one-person ruling system. Parliamentary rule, bitchez!


EDIT: At least you guys should hold elections every few months to spice the forum up ;-) we dont want an authoritarian president for life

Also, holding PDD election campaigns, and actually using some of your political points in discussions too, to make it more realistic.

Yes, George, LMAO, coups are possible ;-) I'm very likely to support you in such an event

but the prime minister serves at the will of the party, and can be removed at any time.

haha. i did my time with the radicals when i was a rabid socialist but ive always had a problem with the pragmatic/realistic components of socialism and anarchism in particular, but also libertarianism, and those concerns have not abated in all this time.

whilst i may agree with many areas of all those schools of thought, i still doubt their capacity to provide real, meaningful solutions.

i like writers like john rawls or john stuart mill more than i do someone like chomsky.

As president of the PDD, you have the power to reshape the government structure. You can be a Chavez if you want, change your title from President to Commandante or whatever suits your presidential whim. Just beware of the ever present threat of a coup, just in case you take things too far!

5 people don't want an easy $20!!

If you want to elect a President for the PDD section, I top the list of serious candidates.
