Percy that guy isn't really serious?

Guys,
That would really depend on what sort of an election you were voting under.
If it was the old "First past the post" system, a party like this would not have a shit show of getting anywhere.

However, if you are talking about, Mixed Member Proportion, you have the choice to vote for the party AND/OR the candidate, things could conceivably pan out quite well, when you think of all the men that have been dis-advantaged by various DV and Divorce laws, you have quite a voting base.
Even if there are a few candidates in Parliament, that could be enough to swing a mis-andric policy vote back towards us men or even throw it out.
Think about it.

The world of politics is "fixed" in many ways, new parties dont have much hope as "money talks" when it comes to the media etc.

Any party must show that it has the resources to make an impact, or it will not be taken seriously.

I think a pro-family party would have more chance, but even in that case, it is imperative that support is tested and shown before any such group starts to consider the party political approach..

F4J fielded a candidate for an election, and a splinter group equal parenting alliance have gone down that road, but they did not, even with some numbers of support, get much in the way of results.

Hopeless policies, and hopeless optimimism, dont add up to much..

As member of several serious political parties over the years I have seen what needs to be done. We do not have anywhere near the proper rank & file for a party.

First a code is needed to help find men that can keep at things over the long term. Most are only playing at this, and then they want to wing it and start at the top and work their way to the grassroots. Grassroots up is the only way, not down. And when these Mr. Casuals don't get results fast they burn out. We need a new kind of MRA, or at least a whole new idea of what a commented MRA is, aside from bluster and deconstructing everything that moves.

Yes timo. I have been told many times by folk who say "create a political party, if you dont like the parties, and wont vote. make your own"..

Yeah, really..

The political landscape cannot be reshaped by the spade of one man, nor of a group of men..

It cant, because a tiny minority of folk in government with the power to reshape it or allow the "grassroots" to shape it, will simply not allow a system to appear that is truly representing the real interests of the people or allowing them access to the decision making and law making process..

They are saying "create your own party" because they know that it will have no effect, other than to destract.

Anyone, or maybe two people, can create a party and register it..

Then, they can face the other parties.. Massively funded establishments that have access to every imaginable resource..

Looking at their websites..

These major parties don't even have to try!!

It is clear political parties don't get votes by presenting anything realistic, fair, logical, or even remotely based in "truth"..

They get votes by smiling, hugging babies, having nice hair, touching the right bases, etc..

Politicians are proffessional BS merchants, and clearly intelligent psychopaths and manipulators..

They do bizarre things, that no one seems to call them out on..

You get catholic prime ministers with the power to send a whole nation to war on his say so.. and against the wishes of millions of direct street protestors..

Yet he seems to turn a blind eye to the abortion trade and everything else his religion decrees against..

The only common ground seems to be the pro-death agenda..

Kill the unborn, send your sons that survive the hostile environment of the dangerous womb of the western skank to another risky place..

Its all good eh?

No, I doubt that..

How can "our movement" compete with such politicians?

Where are our professional BS merchants and malignant narcissists to charm the electorate and baffle them with imagery that looks good, at least on the surface and provides the "feel good" factor?

And even we we have them, why are they more interested in playing with themselves than focusing on the issues that can help us build a grassroots based movement?

yea!!!! my sentiments exactly--better watch for negative comments that will bluster and deconstruct your ideas--*waits for freckles to respond*

god i love that 'ignore' function

I'd rather vote for a political party with a focus on equality. That is, focusing on the issues of both men and women whenever needed.

I would vote for such a party. Not because I would expect them ever to achieve majority power but because as they took votes from other parties, those parties would change their manifesto and behaviour to catch the votes. In most countries, the Green party (by whatever name) never got a majority but most parties have now become somewhat green to take the votes that the Green party was starting to get.

If "pro-male rights" means a logical, pro-family, fiscally responsible party? Sure. I'm tired of the republicans pretending to support fam values and fiscal responsibility anyway. Not just men's rights, but human rights and responsibilities

A party that walks the walk as well as it talks the talk would be much appreciated

Quote from Percy

I ask Americans here - Would you vote for my friend Amfortas?

Yes. Depending on his platform[most likely agreeable].

I am happy to tell you that my old friend Amfortas came third on the last Presidential elections, just behind McCain.

He is willing to try again next time but wants a small honorarium as incentive.

Judging by the fact that a prominent (well Mras are not really prominent) German MRA is working with the pirates I can safely say I already did and will do again.
