I feel obligated to say, the Light Party was never intended to be to the left or right of anyone. Yes, ideologically the party is left-leaning, but its primary objective is to inspire a sense of renewal which I fear other parties have not been able to deliver - especially, quite sadly, the Liberal Party.
If I only wanted to be in a center-left party, I would have stayed with the Liberals. If I wanted to be in a party with socialistic values, I would have joined Labor. But all I wanted was something new, and that's why I'm happy to see seven others who felt the same way, even if it's a small number. It's a party that I want to stick with even if it loses its major party status, and I will always vote for the people who share those values and have proven that they're willing and able to do the job, regardless of their label.
I didn't make it just to rile people up, which is why I was especially surprised at Marokai's reaction to this, especially coming from someone who you'd think would act a little more like a leader. If you think our platform (which hasn't even been fully drafted yet, btw) is too religious, too populist, too conservative, etc., that's fine. My beef is with those who make a big deal out of it.
