Cindy Sheehan, anti-war activist and protester, has finally announced that she will likely form a new party, The First Party , in the US. While it will probably be much too late for the US election coming in November, I think this is an interesting development, as it might moderate the Democratic position on a broad range of issues.
What are your thoughts?
Fair Vote Canada has set up a petition online to rally all of the ‘disconnected’ voters that feel they have to vote against something as opposed to voting for something.
Their petition can be found here . It calls for electoral reform to our current system to ensure some kind of democracy actually exists in Canada. What we have now is a horse race that is void of discussion, void of face-to-face discussions with the party leaders (and their caucus members) and full of ‘sound bites’ and one-liners.
