Political Platforms

Is the "Best Political Platform" really the best? Or is there a better one?

If you know of a political platform which is better, in your opinion, click here and it will be posted here. (Or, if it is too long, give a website where it is already posted and the link to it will be added here.)

The purpose of this site is to provide a listing of alternative political platforms. To qualify as an "alternative" political platform, it must be one which does not already exist among the various political parties appearing on the ballot. It should be a platform which does not fit neatly into the popular Left-Right spectrum or in the spectrum of Less Government vs. More Government.

The platform must be mainly a straightforward statement of positions on issues with a limited amount of commentary or philosophy or argumentation. For the arguments and philosophical dissertations, additional links may be included. But the platform itself should be mostly a listing of the issue positions with little argumentation other than a brief statement of the principles.




Good Message Boards (They're getting better!)

good debates, philosophy, politics, economics, social issues

Here are some good message boards which are easy to get into. You have to register, but it's easy and you can post right away. These ones are open to all viewpoints. They don't kick you off or censor you arbitrarily as long as you obey the reasonable rules of politeness, etc.

The improved message boards now let you move from one post to another on the same topic without needing to click to another page. You can just scroll down through multiple messages which address the topic and argue with each other. These are a great debate forum for people who like to argue. Arguing is good.

FreeStateProject.org
Libertarian-oriented. Proposals for freedom-lovers to all move to one state and try to "take it over." Philosophical arguments about how to pull this off and what should happen in the "free state" after they "take it over."

3rdParty.org
Another minor political party. Maybe the best. Has a "Convention Floor" (message board) which lets participants shape the party's policies/platform proposals. Not necessarily conservative or liberal or moderate or ----. Just seeking the best positions on all the issues.

XAT.org
Perhaps a little flaky, this one. Kumbayah, sweetness and light, butterfly wings, etc. But open to all viewpoints. Proposes a new economic system without taxes or "usury". But you can disagree and offer your own theories.

LibertyForum.org
Mostly libertarian. Lots of topics.

More sites will be added to this list. This listing will be limited to high-quality message board sites only which allow easy access and are open to all viewpoints on the announced topics.
