The EDP Manifesto

[FlameFlash]

heh... exactly.

[DeathByTheSword]

there is place for discussing here.

IF i am right we are talking about EDP and P4 merging? then a totally new party and policy would be in order. if i am wrong about the merging never mind

[Method]

i am for merging the parties (the Poly Party for Progress, Prosperity, Exploration, and Discovery-P4ED? ) and creating a new policy which incorporates the best of P4 and EDP.

[DeathByTheSword]

agree on the policy part but dont like the name (the short version sure but the long version s*xs)

[Method]

well, do we ever use our long version? no. in fact, i'm not even sure most people know what it stands for.

P4ED is a good name

[DeathByTheSword]

thats right but EDP members we as p4 have seen the drawback of combining votes in the last election, and i didnt like it i am for a full merger but because you current party is differenet than ours i forsee some problems. but those can be overcome. so you have my vote for a full merger to form a totally independent party (and if EVERONE is against it i will drop my support for PB)

i knew you'd come around some day!

[Maniac]

Great! I don't really want PBs either.

Just to clarify -- this merger would be contingent on our withdrawing from the CDC?

It's certainly not a possibility I want to rule out, particularly with the more moderate policy statements P4 members have just made. I can't bring myself, though, to commit either way on the subject.

yes...P4 does not want to be a part of CDC. the P4ED (or whatever the new name would be) would have 10 members, but juliennew and tactical marine are being excluded from our votes since we havn't heard from them in a long time...

what are the issues right now that are preventing you from making a decision?

well, i've had just about enough of that certain party member myself...

Are you guys talking about me? Because really I don't have a quarrel with the CCCP. It was just that one time I argued with Pandemoniank[sp].

The main issues right now for me are wanting to think it over before committing to anything, and not being sure if I really want to withdraw from the CDC, which does share many of the EDP's basic principles.

I can't speak for either FlameFlash or TKG, but I am fairly sure the person being discussed is Archaic.

I voted Nay on the building or use of PBs so I think that the P4 is totally agianst it. Why kill instantly when you can maim?

[Archaic]

Yes, it's probably me that was being discussed. I tend to annoy a lot of people. I get rather heated about my views. On the up side, I'm very active, very vocal, seemed to attract a number of independants in the SE election (Don't ask me how, I don't know either.), and if I'm in complete agreement with you, I'm not likely to be yelling at you, am I? Yes, we've had our differences in the past, but they're the key words, aren't they? The past.

In any case, I abstained from the vote for PB's, and voted yea for the merge. Just FYI.

PB vote - Will we build a PB?
