If you were to design a political party from scratch, what would you call it and what would its program be? I did this kind of thread a few years back on AH.com and it got some rather typical responses for that website (given that its even more of a liberal echo chamber than we have here), so I figured I'd try it again here, since we have a little more ideological diversity. I've included a modified version of the template I posted there to help flesh out ideas.

NAME OF PARTY:
AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS1:
IDEOLOGY:
INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATION2:
OFFICIAL COLOR(S):
OFFICIAL MOTTO:
OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS3:
POLITICAL POSITION4

POLITICAL PROGRAM5

1Basically, any organizations not directly (or directly, I guess it depends on how you personally would run your party) run by the party but linked to it in a formal way. Like the College Democrats or Young Republicans or Young Labour, etc. Many parties have specific wings for students, youth wings, women's wings, etc. So that's your prerogative here if you'd have anything like that.
2Would your organization be affiliated with the Socialist International, International Democrat Union, etc?
3Parties in places outside of the U.S. tend to have either an official paper or one that is unofficially supportive of them. Include one or more if you'd like.
4Not technically the same thing as ideology. This is more or less whether or not your party is on the center-left, far-left, center-right, far-right, etc.
5I'm going to leave the part below this blank, because I don't want to pigeonhole what you might come up with as important or something that you'd in particular advocate if you were designing your own political party. You can post what you'd like there. Where your party stands on the issues, what it would do if it were in power, etc.

8. The election of all judges, including members of the United States Supreme Court.
9. The renunciation of the Supreme Court of the power to declare laws null and void, as this has no legal constitutional basis.

25. Right of all workers in socialized industry to elect managers and manage their own work.

Economic Demands
1. Reduction in the working week from 40 to 30 hours with no loss in pay.
2. Transfer of all regulatory power concerning wages and hours, workplace safety, etc. from the state to workers' organizations.
3. A legal minimum wage equivalent to the cost of maintaining a healthy diet, the cost of housing, and all costs associated with raising at least two children, as determined by a special commission established and maintained by the workers.
4. Abolition of all guest worker programs.
5. Equal pay for equal work, regardless of sex, race, color, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
6. Universal access to education from pre-kindergarten to graduate school, at no cost to students or their families. A stipend for students over the age of 15 equivalent to the minimum wage and state payment of all costs incurred for textbooks, housing, etc. Education should be polytechnical, emphasizing both technical and academic work in order to break down the division of labor between brain and brawn work. Management of all schools by elected committees of students, school employees, and community members.
7. The transformation of Social Security into a universal basic income equivalent to the minimum wage, paid to all persons aged 15 and up.
8. Abolition of all government interference in and controls upon labor unions. Immediate repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act, the Landrum-Griffin Act, and the staffing of all industrial dispute boards with elected representatives of the workers.
9. Socialization of all industries dependent upon taxpayer subsidies for their operation and all natural monopolies.
10. Socialization of the land and the promotion of cooperative farming methods.
11. State aid to cooperatives and incentives for small businesses to convert themselves into cooperatives under workers' control and management. Ban on the issuing of new corporate charters that allow for one-man management.
12. Democratic planning and management of the economy by socialized industries under workers' control, workers' self-directed enterprises, and self-proprietorships.
13. Abolition of all regressive taxation in favor of the application of rent payments by socialized industries to the state in order to fund its operations.
14. Universal access to medical care, free at the point of use, including mental, dental, and other forms of scientifically proven care. Socialization of the entire medical sector (including Big Pharma) under the control and management of hospital employees, patients, and communities.
15. Universal access to housing. Promotion of communal living by the state and the establishment of housing cooperatives.
16. Establishment of worker-owned and controlled cafeterias, laundromats, and daycares as a step toward women's liberation. Socialize domestic work insofar as possible to free women from the double-shift of the patriarchal family unit.
17. Guaranteed right to employment. A massive public works program to retrofit buildings to make them energy efficient, combat climate change, and revitalize run-down areas.
18. Immediate seizure by the state of all abandoned worksites and their re-opening for use-production under workers' control.
19. Equalize all workers and environmental standards at the highest possible level with all nations the U.S. is currently party to a 'free trade' agreement with. Withdraw from any agreement in which those nations refuse to comply with said adjustments.
20. Aggressive investment in labor-saving technology to reduce the working week. Implement 3D printing on a massive scale and invest heavily in automation, with a just transition to a new job or a place in education for all workers put out of a job by these innovations.


1An organization for persons aged 15-25. Internally democratic and free from the control of the mother party. The Young Workers League elects members to represent itself to the National Executive Committee of the Workers Party in proportion to its numbers. The YWL would probably fill the role of regular high school and college clubs, fraternities, etc.
2An organization for the children of party members and interested youth, aged 5-15. Kind of a combination of an alternative scout movement (think the Radical Brownies but turned up to 11) that would also run summer camps, socialist sunday schools, socialist sports leagues for children, etc. Basically a mass organization to educate the young and provide for some community where there currently is none.
3A halfway house between a paramilitary organization and a gun club, the Spartacus League would instruct party members on the proper use of firearms, teach self-defense courses, and patrol working class communities as a means of monitoring police actions and defusing situations between workers as necessary.
4Supports of the creation of a 5th International.
5Daily newspaper covering pretty much everything your regular newspapers cover, but from a Marxist perspective.
6Monthly theoretical journal. Similar to International Socialist Review
7Literary-artistic monthly magazine not unlike The New Yorker
8Specific publications for major metropolitan areas
9Specific publications focusing on one or two major issues. More or less socialist versions of Cosmo, Scientific American, etc.

NAME OF PARTY: Social Democratic Party of the United States of American (SDPUSA)
AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS: American Federation of Labour-Congress of Industrial Organizations [1]
National Republican Youth [2]
Young Social Democrats of America [3]
National Social Democratic Women's League
Republican Legion [4]
Fellowship of Social Democratic Christians [5]
Labour Zionist League of America
Hubert H. Humphrey Institute[6]
IDEOLOGY: Social Democracy, Left-wing Christian Democracy, American Paleoliberalism, Republicanism, Liberal Internationalism, Communitarianism
INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATION: Socialist International
OFFICIAL COLOR(S): Red
OFFICIAL MOTTO: Unity, Right, and Freedom For All Mankind
OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS: National Observer [7]
Young America [8]
Edelweiss [9]
Various local publications [10]
Various specialist publications [11]
POLITICAL POSITION: Centre-left
POLITICAL PROGRAM: Like Antonio don't have the time to go into detail in this regard but excepting certain disagreements on theoretical and policy matters this document is actually a pretty good reflection of potential views for the party: http://socialistcurrents.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/American-Challenge-1973.pdf

[1] Affiliated with SDPUSA through a revitalized Committee on Political Education
[2] The youth organization of the SDPUSA for individuals aged 5-18. Far more extensive than most high school political party organizations in the United States, by providing a full spectrum of experiences and activities for youth beyond politics. Thus offers summer camps, weekly meetings, sports programs, hikes, runs youth centres, singing of folk songs etc.
[3] Basically the Social Democratic organization for individuals aged 18-25 and the face of the SDPUSA on college campuses. Unlike similar organizations does not limit its focus to those enrolled to universities and reaches out to young people in workplaces and vocational schools.
[4] Essentially an organization for SDPUSA members who are firearms enthusiasts and interested in physical fitness and inspired by the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold of the Weimar Republic. Dresses up in uniforms mostly as an excuse to march in parades and the like, a paramilitary organization being happily unnecessary in a liberal democracy although it does mobilize in events such as natural disasters for charitable and humanitarian efforts.
[5] Sub-divided into the Catholic Workers League and the the Evangelical Fellowship of the SDPUSA, similar but smaller organizations exist for those of other religious persuasions including the Social Democratic Freethinkers League for those of a secular bent.
[6] The think-tank of the SDPUSA, providing policy and information for the party
[7] Basically the New York Times or similar respectable national newspapers of record with a strong social democratic leaning and local editions for most metropolitan areas
[8] A weekly political/literary-cultural magazine akin to Atlantic or New Republic
[9] A theoretical journal focused on political philosophy and policy
[10] Basically local papers
[11] Basically specialist magazines focused on topics such as history, science, firearms, youth interests etc.

Tbh, I haven't given the 17th Amendment a whole lot of thought.  On one hand it would increase the power of states while on the other hand people like Rand Paul would never have made it to the Senate.

Much of your alt party platform is similar to my American Conservative Union/American Liberal parties from a couple of my old attempts at timelines.

I wasn't aware - I'll edit the post accordingly. Thanks for the correction!


So, basically, you want to make it legal to fyck horses. That's sick.

That would only make sense if we were to assume the mental faculties of a horse are sufficient for her or him to be competent in providing unambiguously informed, non-coerced consent and communicate such to a human being in a way they can clearly understand. Bestiality tends to present a form of exploitation on the part of humans directed at other species. In theory it could be quite different - someday humanity may manufacture sapient machines, genetically engineer new species of equivelent mental capabilities, or even come into contact with extraterrestrial species who qualify as people and are able to give consent - but in lieu of that my stance in favour of animal rights rules out the example you've provided, no?

Normal people would have responded to my question with a flat 'no'. Or perhaps 'of course not'. Or even 'what the hell? That's a vile thing to say. NO!', fwiw.
