Lets start a new internet based political based party!!!

xen

why we shouldn't start a new political party that started from boards....the only thing we need now is some ideals and maybe a leader...and maybe some rules thats a maybe, like we could just be bandits or something!
any ideas post here!
ps i'm totally serious watch out BERTIE!!!

gandalf

Well why not

I have some definate ideas on the Health Service and reform of the Dail.

Don't think I'd be a healthty leadership choice. I'd like to set up secret police and the like and Stadium Ireland would be built so I could use it Chilean Style

Gandalf.

xen

Someone else as LEADER THEN!!
I'm someone else but my hardline stance on crime wouldn't be exactly a crowd pleaser
how about a name For The PARTY?!?

Sparks

So your "brand new alternative" would in fact be a standard political party?
Why bother - you already have a half-dozen of those.
I say we bring back direct democracy!
So there.

xen

no more a collective under the guise of party, so we may have some power eventually!
hey but were flexible we'll take your thoughts into consideration!

DadaKopf

Heh, yeah, let's set up another board and organise it there. We could elect people to set an agenda and we could discuss them. It might be a nice exercise - it'd at least alleviate boredom at work!

SkepticOne

We'll think up some decent right wing policies later, but first we need a name. I propose the "Shining Light of Truth Party".

xen

no thats crap!

xen

something thats real offensive to everyone!

SkepticOne

"The National Correction Party"

SkepticOne

"The Authoritarian Party of National Salvation". I think we can all rally around that one.

Biffa Bacon

How about "Hizbiffa"? (that's Arabic for "party of Biffa")

Sand

Is it going to be a full blown irish political party with a few rusty armalites in the closet or is just going to be plain old ballot box type party you can get anywhere?

xen

a guerilla party, i think that way we get results our aim is to be opposition to the main parties really we all dont have to agree on same policies or any s.h.i.t. like that.
We want to be a collective voice of opposition.
We want to be recogonised no matter how inane we are.
We want to be able to swear.
We want not to wear suits unless we need absolutley need to be swanky.....i.e. the odd job interview.
And above all our members dont have the same train of thinking!
i.e. we all have different aims, goals, beliefs, background and different tastes in music.

OK, how about "The Knee-Jerk Opposition Party - Opposing the government regardless of what they do"

No wait - that's Fine Gael.

xen

No wait - that's Fine Gael.

Wait a minute you cant swear in Fine Gael and they are a one track party. unlike "THE OPPOSER" --see even satisfies people at the poser level!


Finel Gael - Fine Fail
whats the difference literally only four fecking letters!

So will it be like fight club then except we flame each other rather than smack each others head off concrete floors? A split personality disorder will come in useful for the u-turning and flip flopping.

Ye kinda but a lot of drinking no BRAD PITT cant afford him.
It will be a giant ORGY of fighting arguing and
SAYING:
"The First Rule of Fight Club...I mean The OPPOSER PARTY(insert your name here) is to not give a **** and think your always right."

Then the brawls ensue whoever wins is the leader for the week!

I wish Kevin Myers would stop trolling boards under silly pseudonyms! :ninja:

Mike.

Sparks

Kevin Myers? I thought it was Mike Myers!

smiles

Hmm.... how about no?

Given the totally opposite views of people online it'd be pretty damn stupid to try and consolidate them.

<< Fio >>

passive

"The extreme right wing immigrant killing fascist party"

or possibly

"team blue".

either title would win us some votes...and we don't necissarily have to have any ideals related to our name

although we would have to wear blue..

dahamsta

Didn't another boardster start another political party a couple months ago? Is this a seasonal thing or summat?

adam

xen

What about "The Authoritarian Man's Party of National Salvation"? Lends itself nicely to an acronym!

I was going to mention this fact in my post but then I thought that maybe noone would take it too seriously, seeing that in was meant in jest! :rolleyes:

ednwireland

[Iramus]

"WE know whats good for YOU so sit down and shut up party"

here is our motto

An on-line political party you say? Hummm.....

I see much chance here for serious good work and/or mischief.

If you are of the first opinion, e-mail me ideas and views and I will compose a cohesive political paper.

If you are of the second, I can be of much use to your organisation.
