Introduction

This topic provides the tools that lead to a more direct democracy for the next city and national elections:

• create documentation and support for Flatpack Democracy and citizen lists on the local level
• discuss on different other levels (national, European, ...) how democracy can be implemented
• discuss our 'internal' democracy

Internal Democracy

In the Internal Democracy workgroup, we organize meetings where we think and discuss about our internal democracy, in order to define rules, methodology, or guidelines that can lead to a democratic decision-making within a group. More generally, we experiment around the concept of "co-creative meeting", where every attendees share the common desire of building something together.

Local Democracy

The Local Democracy topic gathers information about local initiatives (citizens' lists, municipalism, ...).

What Pirates say about this topic 📣

Values of the Pirate Party

Direct democracy and self-determination right

1. Pirates believe that all citizens have unlimited right to be involved in decisions that concern them.
2. Pirates advocate a more direct democracy: an open, pragmatic, dynamic, realistic and transparent system in which citizens have the opportunity and receive the right to participate, and are encouraged to do so.
3. The Internet enables new forms of citizen participation and democratic organization.The Pirates want to explore these possibilities and put them into practice.
4. The power of party politics should be phased out.
5. Pirates believe that corporatism, i.e. The mixture of economic and political power, should be avoided.
