Suggestions from IRC
someone needs to add Pirate Party of Canada here:

http://wiki.pirateint.org/wiki/Pirate_Party_Statutes_and_Policies

Shawn: Suggest that we contact with this once we feel good about what we link to...

Aye Aye
Good concept. This is the same as my notion that we lock in on a reduced set of core principles.

Key "Planks"
Like reference to Overton_window. I did not know that.

I want to push for a clear set of core principles upon which hang our policies and ultimately our detailed platform.

Uncertain as to whether or not we want to skew our views much because of it. We definitely need to make sure that we communicate our ideas and their rationale clearly.

Pirate Principles
I like this notion. We really need to tighten up our message but still cover all ground at least in spirit.

Autonomous Candidates
This is very important to me personally because I want us to be able to be inclusive. Some ridings will have fairly diverse and sometimes conflicting interests. We cannot balance those fairly if we don't know what they are.

I am thinking of our Party as the party that includes people hitherto not included. To do this we need for Candidates to be able to voice the particular concerns of their constituents.

Platform Dissent
Agree. For the record, I am in favor of abolition completely and will be presenting this as my 'candidates view'.
