well i think it would be a good idea to try and identify persons who would make a good leader of the Internet Party. and to try and identify what traits we actually are looking for in a leader of the Internet Party

We are looking for someone who will take a public profile so we are looking for Charisma but combined with a very strong ethical stance. Someone who can cut through heaps of bullshit with a single sentence. Someone who has never allowed themselves to represent any faction.

Never represented a faction - can you expand on that @fredlook ?

@jobooth ahh maby that was not well said!. What i meant was that we really must not get into a situation where members vote leadership ballots on factional lines. We must not be appointing a particular person as leader because that will be good for our lot! ......self evident? yes does happen? Unfortunately yes. Never represented a faction? Well there may well have been a lot of water under the bridge since then so that was a bit unreasonable.:(

I'll put my hand up for the position! I've got a simple folksy wisdom that some people find adorable and other people hate intensely.

Do you have,
a very strong grasp of ethics?
rugged good looks?
and are you,
as cunning as a rattlesnake?

Yes, Yes and No.:( 2 out of 3 ain't bad though right!

Honestly though I'm definitely interested in putting my hand up for the position. I don't have any money or experience but I have a positive attitude and a can do spirit. I also have no agenda outside of creating a political party and system that we can all be proud of. Well that and getting paid!

I think that last one though might be a work in progress. :smiley:

yeah 2 out of 3 is OK, the first one is the one that counts! the others can be "mitigated" :rabbit:

So you know the main policies inside out now?
and can turn any question back to those policies?

No, no I do not. I'm reading through everything but it's slow going. I'm saving the discussions for last and just focusing on what has actually been put in place already on the main page.

Most of it seems fairly comprehensive but it's trying to understand it in a way that I can articulate it back to people in a understandable manner that is tripping me up.
