We are among those who can no longer hold their heads high when voting.
Some of us no longer vote, while others cast blank
or spoilt votes with great sadness and anger. We feel trapped by a
political system that does not respect us, that does not listen and
whose behavior, tendency to give up, broken promises,
lies, betrayals and lack of humanity have disgusted us for some time.
We are multi-faced. We are all different. We do not agree
on everything. But, this is what makes us so strong. Our life experiences show that there are many
ways to achieve concrete results. We want to experiment.
Step by step. We are already in motion. We have stopped looking upwards
with hope. We no longer expect anything from those who govern us.
We can only observe that they have failed without hatred or anger.
In the end, they all end up failing because they follow rules
that are centuries old and no longer fit. We don’t want to sign yet another
blank check for political parties. Instead, we want to create
a political program that represents the world we are building day by day:
a world that is free, connected, collaborative, interdependent and real. We want
each of our acts to give us a little more freedom.
We want to be involved in decision-making.
We want to co-build the world as we, the people, want it.
Our initiative is collective and horizontal, there is no room for personal
power quests or
sterile, partisan postures. In June 2017, we will enter the National Assembly.
We don’t want be chattering in our corner, like we are stuck today, or in front of the TV.
We will be inside the national Assembly to gain seats and win electoral districts.
Our aim is to take democracy into an era of nous voulons faire entrer la démocratie dans l'ère de la multitude de
multiplicity, sharing and cooperation.
The collective intelligence tools and methods we are developing will
empower citizens to grasp the challenges at stake,
run for election and propose or vote for laws. To test these
new practices, we will train and pick
volunteers at random to run for parliamentary election in 2017.
Once elected these volunteers will communicate the decisions of the people who elected them to lead
for five years. We believe that a multiple of women and men is more intelligent than
one person alone. This is all the more true if that person is trapped in the party logic that currently
rules the Assembly. Our deputies will not face the lobbies and
experts alone. The strength generated from being back by others will help them confront the power
of institutions. These multi-faced deputies,
our deputies,
will be the expression of their electors, the extension of our individual wills
Together, we will decide what the deputy will vote for
Not on one law, but on every single law for five years. On every
subject we feel passionate about. Every time a law threatens to hurt our liberties
values or principles. Never again without us. The goal is to experiment
democracy in its truest sense. In 2017, we will enter the National Assembly with
enough deputies to launch a brand new experiment. The
world is already being built with us. Wherever we are, we have already taken
our responsabilities, wheter in our professional lives,
families, neighborhoods, buildings or school councils. We have already
risen to give the best of ourselves for the common good.
Like many French people, we love politics and
debates, we like to particpate and we aim to achieve something than we
are. All over the world,
initiatives promotings democracy are being born : Germany
Mexico, Argentina, Italy, Sapin, Iceland, Greece, Ireland, Canada as well as
in many French towns and villages. Initiatives carrying people’s desire to
be involved in decisions-making are
emerging everywhere
So what abous us, are we ready ?
