The Non-Alligned Tendency

[Proserpine]

I hereby form the Non-Aligned Tendency. The NAT exists to promote the views of all citizens who do not wish to subscribe to "parties" which have been formed in Apolytonia (Hawks/Imperialists, etc).

The Tendency is to be considered an anarcho-syndicalist collective, whose principal aim is to promote the interests of Democracy in Alopytonia, for example we (at this moment, I) favour elections for any and all official positions, and plebiscites (polls) on all major issues facing our country.

No candidates for office will be endorsed officially by the NAT.

All power belongs to the people.

[Kuciwalker]

This sounds a lot like a party. Also, what's Alopytonia

[Proserpine]

It isn't a party, because it has no constitution, doesn't officially endorse candidates & need not have any membership. It is. as I said, a tendency.

[Kuciwalker]

Oh, there's no membership. What do you do then, just use this thread to flame parties ?

[Robber Baron]

a tendency ... towards paralysis and entropy

[Proserpine]

I just feel that those who are not members of a specific party should have a forum (original, not technical, sense) to express a non-partisan viewpoint.

There is no intention to flame parties, as such. If flaming they need, then it can be done in their own threads

And I said "need not have" a membership, not "doesn't have".

[Papa Chubby]

If it is just a tendency, why is there any need to organise.

[Robber Baron]

Picture this:

?
You're looking at these guys.

[OPD]

I'd like to join NAT. If you can join something that isn't a party?

It's good to be part of an organization or collective without being told who or what to vote for.

At the moment I favour more emphasis on whats going on in the game and less on buerocratic issues such as ethics and constitutions. Micromanagment is the key.

Power to the people.

This reminds me of my old group, STOP, Society to Oppose Politics, which was destroyed by the Imperial Guard. I would like to correspond with and participcate in this forum.

Oh, and ignore the comments from the UFC, they fear that those of us opposed to politics as such, may in fact, organize and destroy that which they hope to preserve.

All opposition must fall at the bayonets of my elite avant guard.

"avant guard"

[Proserpine]

Welcome, OPD & jdjdjd!

I would have joined STOP, but it was destroyed before I reached political enlightenment.

We shall work towards the true democratisation of Apolytonian society, fearing not the bayonets of the guards (avant or devant )
