Animal-movement political parties

We should create a political party in all Western countries, that

could be elected, having a manifesto that puts at its centre the

animal agenda of issues, but also has policies on all other issues

which are of concern to the electorate and which are tackled and

addressed by the other parties with policies in their own manifestos.

There are 2 reasons for such creation:

1) We can rely on other parties to enact policies to protect animal

rights only in a limited way.

2) On the other hand, we cannot have an animal rights party which does

not address all the other issues, because it would be a fringe party,

one which the majority of the electorate would not find interesting.

We have one -- it's called the Green Party. I suggest you read

their Party Platform and attend some meetings...

The Green Party fails on both accounts:

1) its policies on issues are than animal rights are generally

not valid and poorly developed

2) its policies on animal rights issues are hypocritical and

not respectful of basic animal rights at all.

I suggest that, to know about the Green Party and be informed

of its policies, you read these posts:
