[MG] Helping the Pirate Party to vanish

[Paul Nollen]

Hi Michel,

Well, not completely I think. There is no reason why people would not 
organise in parties around some kind of "party program" and try to get 
people elected. But parties respond always, as any organistion, to the iron 
law of oligarchy and therefore it is necesssary to keep the ultimate 
decisive power in the hands of the people.

Yes, but Aktiv Demokrati will also be broken in the process.  It will
no longer be possible for an Aktiv Demokrati candidate to be elected
to the Riksdag.  To succeed in taking down the party system, the party
must sacrifice itself completely.
