Hello Everybody,
According to http://pirateparty.org.au/faq/ :
Q. Are there any state or territory Pirate Parties?
A. There sure are. We are now focusing on recruitment in preparation to register state branches in each state.
To apply the core tenets of the Pirate Party to the political mainstream (or extreme as we currently enjoy), I would have thought that a substantial member base would be required. Not only to register state based entities but to harvest the creative drive of all those people willing and able to make a difference. And most importantly to unearth likely candidates to stand for election and have a supporter base of people to vote for them.
Corporate experience has taught me that having mixed teams of people from different walks of life and with diverse backgrounds, adding a broad and varied mix of opinions, ideas and skills has a multiplier effect on productivity.
A conclusion could be made that member recruitment should be a priority.
So I have some questions around this in no particular order:
Have any state branches been registered?
What is the recruitment strategy?
Is there a “marketing” plan to get PPAU noticed out there?
What are the initial, prime and ongoing objectives of the PPAU?
Is there an overall plan to achieve PPAU objectives?
What I am getting at is: where is PPAU going, how is it getting there, and when? (In a formal strategic planning sense).
If this is off the mark or doesn’t make sense feel free to flame away.
Thanks.
