The First Viable Single Issue Political Party?
Had a chat with a few people from the other side of the world and remembered some musing I did a while ago: Is Al Gore’s green movement the proto single issue political party?
- Anyone interested in climate change is inherently a member.
- All actions on climate change are inherently the party’s.
- Subgroups (Worldchanging comes to mind) claim allegiance without having to really do so.
Or is it something bigger given the lack of the party’s political participation. The rise of an alternative decentralized, culture neutral, system maybe?
Al Gore’s lack of entering the race (probably because he wasn’t viable) could, in a larger sense, be the mark of something totally decentralized.
