Mandate - Seven Guiding Principles of the Democratic Empowerment Party

0
Your rating: None
  1. The Democratic Empowerment Party is a new-left international political party. The DEP’s primary focus is on invoking electoral reform in such a way as to increase the size of the citizen’s vote inversely to wealth so that poorer people get larger votes.
  2. The Democratic Empowerment Party does not wish to be yet another party speaking on behalf of the poor. The DEP wishes instead to give the poor a voice of their own through a weighted vote. Thus, the DEP remains flexible and does not adopt rigid agendas, nor does it stand on fixed political platforms. Of course, since the DEP represents the interests of the poor, working, and middle classed un-empowered majority, the goal of establishing environmental integrity, a sustainable economy, and a respect for the democratic process are at the front of the DEP campaign.
  3. The Democratic Empowerment Party also believes in running vote sizing along with some kind of one-person-one-vote/referendum process so that general opinion polling can be done to monitor the overall acceptance and success of governmental policies.
  4. The Democratic Empowerment Party, in support of the radical left, and having its roots in activism movements, recognizes that there are many ways to scale votes. The DEP welcomes all opinions regarding different formulas and vote scaling techniques in the belief that we can come together and discuss our ideas in real, concrete, visual terms.
  5. In serving its goal of balancing out the power inherent in money, capitalism, and globalization, the Democratic Empowerment Party does not propose scaling votes in favor or the rich or privileged – this the DEP sees as a method of modern slavery and fascism.
  6. The Democratic Empowerment Party does not wish to replace the current governmental structure, only to continually reform it in accordance with the changing values of its people. Therefore, the DEP sees itself only as one of many political parties in the political arena. Even with vote scaling reforms in place there will be nothing to prevent traditional one-person, one-vote political parties from participating in elections. This also means that the DEP can become a very powerful and influential opposition party in the current political system.
  7. The Democratic Empowerment Party will be fully and openly accountable for all of its funding and expenses through viewable and downloadable files on our website.
