Encouraging news from our friends over at The Centrist Project: Aam Aadmi Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(nice summary, but sadly lacking in direct links). http://www.centristproject.org/inspiration_from_india Inspiration from India Home → Blog → Who says the political process can't evolve in positive ways? India is a country that has been plagued by corruption, from the lowest levels of government to the highest. One year ago, a nascent anti-corruption movement gave birth to a new political party, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which translates to the Common Man Party. The broom is the party's election symbol. In Delhi state elections last week, the good government types hoped that the party might steal a handful of parliament seats. Instead, the AAP shocked the country by winning 28 of 70 seats in the state assembly (more than one of the established national parties and nearly as many as the other). The Economic Times (of India) reported, "Their campaign caught popular imagination in a manner that shocked Delhi's political grandees." Wouldn't something like that be cool in the U.S.? -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
