So, I just joined the UK Pirate Party.
I did it for two reasons. First, this month they are having an open consultation, calling for policy suggestions in areas outside the core intellectual property / internet freedom agenda that originally motivated them. Secondly, I saw one of them tweeting from OccupyLSX.
Of course, it's great fun for me to make a bunch of proposals. Here they are if you want to vote / argue for or against them.
Get the money out of politics
Full disclosure of government deals with corporations
Teach entrepreneurial skills in schools
Remove commercial restrictions on suburbia
Mandatory carbon footprint labelling for "big ticket" items
Create a framework for "Traditional Cities" (Yeah, I know, this is a personal obsession, but you know I believe in urbanism as a fundamental quality of life issue.)
A "Personal Investment Allowance"
Mandatory energy / effect labelling for common household appliances
Put the Treasury's models online
More soon when I think of them ... :-)
