I've been thinking the same thing myself. I see no political party in Macedonia, big or small, that has an actual anti-NATO & anti-EU position, and was thinking to start one just for the sake of diversity of political thought, and to give people who share the same views a voting option. Even if the party's core ideals are just those - No NATO and no EU. Or at least, those could be the starting tenets, and later the party could further on the principles and agenda.
I've been holding back so far since I'm not as well versed in politics as many others are, especially here, and I'm not even familiar with basic political theory, I haven't finished college yet, I have no idea about how the registration process works and how hard it would be to build a party from scratch (judging by others who entered politics in recent times, it's a fucking hell). But maybe it would be worthwhile?
I've been meaning to suggest active members here to consolidate to a single party too, as everybody entering the forums basically cares for this country and swears by the Macedonian Cause. That could be the guiding light for the party. And as a party you'd have more leverage to affect the political landscape than just petitions, voting, or complaining about the situation of the country here.
I feel that if there ever was a right time for this - it's now, when there's political niche missing in Macedonian politics' "Tree of Life", which actually wants to prevent the deteriorating path the country has taken and undo as much of the damage as possible that was already dealt to it. I'd be the first to sign up!
I just hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears.
We can complain on this forum about lack of initiative or action in Macedonian politicians or we can enter the game and show some initiative and action ourselves. Maybe I'm too young and naive still, but what's the alternative? Watch the ship sink?
