    I agree this section should be closed down. Why has it not been? It's in the past-tence now. Another party that would fight for the ideals the PDs originally represented in the 1980's is needed, and I believe the Libertas vote in the Euro elections, while failing to win a seat, nonetheless shows that kind of niche persists in the Irish electorate. But the PDs are dead and buried, so why continue to devote a section to them?

    I like their stuff spidermom.

    The fight against ETA and any type of politically motivated violence; (sounds familiar,eh?)

    Regeneration of Spanish democracy;

    Opposition to compulsory nationalism (referring to the peripheral nationalist and regionalist movements); (being anti-nationalist personified, its right up my street)

    The reform of the Spanish Constitution of 1978 to reinforce citizen liberties and equality, independent of the regional origins of each citizen.



    As they declare themselves in the opening paragraphs of their initial manifesto:

    We begin with a revolutionary assumption: that citizens are not born being either left wing or right wing nor with the card of any party in their nappies. We go further, at the risk of offending the timid: we consider citizens able to think for themselves and as a result, to choose, in accordance with the policies of the political parties and their knowledge of the historical situation in which we live. Therefore we do not think that anybody is forced to vote the same way or to resign themselves to the effective political options, when they have already previously disappointed them. To be considered right wing or left wing does not seem to us to be the main problem, although we sincerely pity those that lack better arguments to counter their opponents.

    "Breaking the mould" of civil war politics, anyone???

    Anyway, it'll keep me occupied and hopefully will help with my Spanish. Out of 750 voters in my village in this months elections, PSOE got 313, PP got 311 and UPD got 4.

    So its backs to the wall, no chance of a future , odds on to disappear...

    Which means...

    We'll be in government in Spain within 5 years and will rule in coalition for another 15.

    Sound familiar, anyone........
