these 2 seam like the only options at the moment.
There are ten thousand people who could be better, but they would never go through the candidacy process, whereas if you have an INTERNET party that does not function through the media circus, where your candidate is selected quietly...
The candidate is then on the ballot. Sneaky, huh???
Someone on the ballot that didn't get there by coronation, but by popular appeal and substantive plans.
i LIKE
any good candidates ?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 831664It's a matter of setting up the party and attracting candidates. Maybe the first hundred people or so get to kind of narrow the field a little, to choose credible people to be candidates, but there could be 200 or 500 candidates. You could have a ten day voting process. Each day narrows the field by ten percent, till you're down to five or ten candidates, then you have a run-off type election. The party gets to make the rules, as far as I know, as to how they select their candidate. You make the party "big tent" by not having a platform. It's just candidates saying who they are, what they would do, and why.
