Dear Antonio,
I fully agree. The awful thing with parlamentary DD-parties is: they become
very easily corrupted.
That also occured to the German Green Party, which was in the beginning
rather fond of DD, not though Joschka Fischer.

Dear Franz,

glad with reading of you.

I agree with you, but "a party for DD" is no "DD political party".
Let's suppose, any political party can be "for", i.e. in favour of, DD:
provided only it supports "Initiative & Referendum" directly from
the people bottom-up.

ciao,

antonio

Dear friends,
A party for DD is different from any other party, as long DD is really
practice within that party. Einsteins message cannot apply in this
context.
But a party for DD is a difficult task and needs permanent selfrenewal.
In other words it needs a strong nucleus of very competent and devoted
DD-freaks and also a very good internal constitution.

Yes, I guess this is a good idea to create a DD political party.
As for us (Academy of Direct Democracy, Ukraine) we see no way to
create it for now but as the idea it sound good for us.
My best regards, Maria Ivanova

Hi Maria Ivanova,
Albert Einstein is said he stated :
"We cannot solve the problems of a system by using the tools of the
same system that originated them".
I guess, all the ideas sound good for critical discussion -- yet I
wholeheartedly appreciate the clear fact that your Academy sees no
way to create a DD political party.
Cheers,
antonio
