We lost representation this year, but the Pirate Party was never a political party in Argentina. They didn't even run for elections once. So please...

Actually we chosen do not participate in elections, but we're still a political organization. You can take a look at our report published in the PPI journal[1].

Anyway, I've got not problems with experimental politics, I do study anthropology and believe me, I have a good idea what a social experiment is. I personally consider you a very smart person and I know you understand which is my concern about The Net Party. The Net Party is not what it says it is. There's no transparency, you're not looking for political agreements in order to use DemocracyOS in other way than a poll, you're not using the money to develop a software oriented to the principles you say it has, you do not define your ideology and anyone with slight knowledge of politics and history can see which it is.

You operate like a startup company and not like a political organization. I have not problems with your ideas (I personally don't share them, but I think it is an open discussion), I have problems with your actions. You're cheating people and you know it.
