There is an statement of the APT, which doesn't reflect the programme of the NPW (although some points are made that should be added to our programme). But possibly we should ask us first, who is wanting to become a member of parliament? I'm still feeling a bit "exhausted" by the long stretch of politics in the Republic, where retiring from politics was almost impossible because kind of there were more vacant offices than active citizens. So I'm enjoying the luxury of not having to read the government boards.

Anyway, I seem to remember that the fee doesn't have to be payed before the ballot is to be compiled; that is, whosoever is in charge of aministering the election will call for nominatinons and money when the time has come.

Or you. Anybody interested?

I sit in the Cosa at the moment as well. I'm willing to sit out for the benefit of others, I'm also willing to sit in for the benefit of whatever. Not picky, me.
Iason is a senator so he's out.

It might be food for thought anyway, if there are people whom we might want to ask if they are interested in joining or at least "supporting" the NPW.
IMHO, just sitting around waiting for applicants isn't the most successful approach to recruiting "fresh blood". The founding process itself didn't start "automatically"; as some of you know, I was trying to find Talossans who were interested in Peculiarism ever since the early days of the beginning "reunision", and sent around PMs when we reached the "critical mass" for a possibly successful foundation of a party-like something.
At least one of the addressees of my silent nagging declined, but anyway, this seems to be a way of recruitment that works, occasionally. To keep things thriving, we should try to work for some growth of the party. More members = more discussion = more ideas = more fun, and by the way, a better chance to be heard.

I've sent an email to offer payment-- I'll gladly take care of it. It's the least I can do, since I'm doing so little else for y'all. Been a bit busy of late.

If nothing else, and perhaps as a starting point, the definition of Peculiarism outlined in the Mauve Manifesto is easily adapted to a 50 word limit: The NPW promotes the maximization of national autonomy and collective creativity through the recognition and embrace of Talossa’s particular situation, through practicing random acts of bizarreness in the interest of the enlightenment of others, and by keeping up the Brechtian fight for everyday culture, done by people, instinctively and happily.
