The UK Pirate Party
I think the UK Pirate Party will be a worthy proponent of certain progressive views on digital rights and related issues in the current UK parliamentary system, but that they will need some at least basic general economic, education, health, security, etc policies/affiliations/agreements, a la the Green Party, to draw attention from more average or undecided voters.
Hmm, I need to do political science research on varieties of devolved, participatory and direct democracy to see what possible progressive systems and methods have been suggested as a pluralistic alternative to the party whip system.. Also, more teeth to select committees? Thoughts or suggestions?
