Democratic Party Platform

[Fritz]

Great platform, Mr. President.

The section on the economy needs to be a bit more specific- it mentions spending "whatever is necessary" but not "frivolous"- this is open to widespread interpretation and opinion about what is necessary and what is frivilous.  Also taxation is not mentioned at all.

Aside from the economy section, the rest of the platform as written is clear in its meaning and intent, and represents positions I would agree with.

Noting my objection to the lack of specificity in the economy section, I vote yes.

[Fritz]

If I can vote No, but anyway Mr. President didnt you switch parties or another one formed by Ben or someone?

I believe you are a member of the UAC and therefore you cannot vote on this.

[Fritz]

Ben,

If you object to the platform that strongly, might I suggest that you yourself draft a competing platform.

I think the duty of platform writing should have been yours anyway, if you are the Chairman of the party.

[Fritz]

Ben, I apologise if I had your position confused as current Party Chairman.  Who is our chair, anyway?  Its not Boss Tweed anymore, right?

My analysis of your platforms can be found here.

[Fritz]

Fritz, maybe you can redo your analysis of the differences again, though. It seems to me that the new Nym version is much closer to the Ben version in many areas.

As Ben has withdrawn his objections, and appears to be supporting the revised Nym90 platform, there does not appear to be a need for this.

I will redo my platform comparison analysis once our party, the Atlas National (i.e. Republican) party, and the United Left party (if they are ever formed) all have finalized platforms.

Presidential and Senatorial elections are scheduled I believe for June 18, less than 5 weeks from now.  It would be nice if we could clearly establish what parties are going to participate in those elections, and what each parties platform is, well in advance of then.

On that note, I vote yes on Nym90's revised platform.

[Fritz]

Voting on this has been sparse.  Can we declare Nym's revised platform as officially passed?
