I would support the nationalization of transportation, iron/steel, single payer auto insurance, and energy to be taken out of the platform.

Reactionary.

Also, X Snowstalker

So I guess the Left Front didn't work out for you?

Pot and kettle, etc?

We need to strengthen the penalties on members that defy our candidacy rules.

[PLA] Whenever by-laws time comes around, I can never remember any of the stuff that needs to be looked at, but the platform process is one of those. It outlines an all-or-nothing sort of approach for approval. Although by-laws are great in that you keep them loose so that you say what can and cannot be done (without ruling out other options for action explicitly), I'm beginning to think we may need to adopt a line-item vote in our by-laws. Thoughts?

I am open to this idea, although not entirely convinced that it would work in very case. There's nothing stopping us from holding an informal vote now and sorting out any contradictions that leaves afterward.

I'm of a similar opinion.  Allowing for an open and democratic amending of the platform would only help the party.

I second his candidacy to the position of General Secretary. (no, I'm not running for that, I support you Tongue)

Barnes seems to be really motivated and this is what we need as General Secretary: new blood.

Thanks! But I'm not exactly new blood - more like old blood that was locked away for a long period and then suddenly resurrected and is now trying to find a use for itself again.

[PLA] What the hell? Angry

What the hell. Since no one is really engaging in the way we need to be engaging on this, I am putting the initially proposed platform up for a vote. You can read the entire nine-page platform here. This vote will be open for 24 hours. If it does not pass, then we will come back to revising any sections as need be.

Nay.

Activity has certainly been an issue, but in my defense, I really didn't think it was appropriate for me to jump in and say what's right and wrong after being gone for 17 months. Grin

There was a pitiful lack of activity involving the platform process and a general lack of debate save for a few post about nationalization. The reason for voting no is not to oppose anything in the platform, per say, but to keep the discussion open for a longer period of time to encourage more members to participate.

Nay.

Game reform ignored entirely and I do disagree with some of the foreign policy planks.
