[Algemeen] Ontwerp verkiezingsprogramma Groenlinks

[coretx op piratenpartij.nl]

The good influence of Christian Engstrom on the greens/efa group points out
why pirates are needed.
Even today, people like for example Erik Joseffson ( greens/pirates
coordinator )are putting up a big fight among the greens for waking them
up.
Yesterday, he even asked *me* to help setup a anti ACTA campaign among the
greens, he is lobbying the greens to no avail. The greens are not
interested !
This while PPI is behind stop-acta.info and work on this started way back.
Considering the current work on for example the "internet of things" within
europarl. GL communicating "internet freedom", instead of the bigger
pictures points out that they lack vision and strategy for the future.Or
have a different set of priorities. Reinier is right. Gl is being a
populist right now.
Especially considering that MEP Sargentini is mobilising and preparing a
assault on the dutch Pirate Party.

The dutch pirate party is not picking friends or foes.
We are targeting our objectives, and preparing to retaliate when under
attack by other political parties.
We are not a standard "political party" per se. We exploit the system.

If we want to obliterate GL, what we do not want.
We do have 100% support from the .SE MEP's

Let me quote Christian Engstrom: "Go kill them" - "Everything for the
votes, this is election time and everybody understands this."
