New Party

[The Dowager Mod]

I personaly like Seige and voted for him.
although he won't take away gustaf's title of worst president ever.

But right now, the ILP is too much of a "big tent" party for a place that has so many parties.

This is by circumstance rather than by design I think. Fact is that the more socialist members of the forum (the economically and socially left wing) have been without a party truly of their beliefs since the death of the Democrats - the ILP was always meant to take the centre ground on economic issues, and it did. We sorta modified this to being big tent on economic issues so as to give the socialists a home. The FLP of course does not take positions on social issues, whilst maintaining an economic leftist agenda, so it also picked up many of the socialist members, but again this wasn't a true home as a socialist party would be.

Well, you see my dilemna then. I'm not quite a socialist- I'm a scoial democrat. And, I feel we need a social democratic party. One that is socially liberal and economically left wing.

I'm interested, as I am dissasitisfied with many of the members in the Independent Liberal Party. 

What have we done to deserve such an assesmentt?

Not you Defarge. I'm talking about people like the President and the Vice President to name a few.

Let me guess, Prostitution and AA?

I would guess that the President's stance on prostitution would be the one Earl finds most objectionable. I can't really think of anything else.

He also came out and lambasted Belinda Stronach, one of my favourite politicians.

What, did he call her a social democrat?

LOL no. Seige does not equal MichaelM. Siege didnt like the fact she crossed the floor "just to get into cabinet"

I hope I speak for everybody when I ask 'WTF?':

I see the hammer and sickle are being dusted off again.

Why don't you just name it the United Left? I always thought that was a great name unlike the Light Party that just sounds totally gay.

I agree totally. I even told LiberalPA last night that I felt the name was gay
