Dear all,
I propose that every person who applies for membership in the WDDM is
requested to answer two simple questions:
1. Do you believe that rule by political parties is democracy?
2. Do you accept the principle that a truly democratic system must be based
on a Constitution written directly by citizens and accepted, after public
debate, by national referendum?
        If the answer is "yes" in the first case and "no" in the second
case, I suggest that the person in questions is disqualified.
Sincerely,                   Jiri Polak
