The THP has no platform. We use this method to decide how we vote in parliament.

A vote is open in parliament ->
a vote is open now in this thread by default ->
online members start voting on it in this thread ->
parliamentary representatives debate and point out the idiotic parts of the law ->
the vote in parliament is about to close, parliamentary representatives count up the votes in this thread and do one of the following:
a) Less than 1/2 voted for the bill; we vote against on mass.
b) more than 1/2 but less than 2/3 voter for the bill; we abstain.
c) more than 2/3 vote for the bill but it will pass anyway even without our parties votes; we abstain.
c) more than 2/3 vote for the bill and it will not pass unless it gets more votes; we vote for the bill on mass then and only then.

We will also draft up preferences for members so even if they have not voted before the end of the time allocated for parliamentary votes the parliamentary representative will still have an idea based on that as to what the absent people wanted.

As for ideology we will only say that we are still vaguely influenced by humanist though and would generally like to be nice to our fellows.

If you feel anything more should be added you can by starting a popular vote for it, if you get 2/3 majority it will become a part of the party policy. If something is to be removed from here it can be decided by a simple majority in that case. This will be how all matters not directly related to voting in government will be decided.

Note this is a temporary thread to allow the most up to date version of the THP's platform to be posted.
Discussion should take place in the regular THP thread.
