        At that point you no longer run candidates, but you run empty suits that are bound to the party platform (and ideally can say words good). Obviously the party platform would be decided democratically by a dues paying membership ( not a cent of corporate donations of course)

        Kinda like a business franchise, the big decisions are made for you, and the marketing (and much of the campaigning) is already done. Your only job as a candidate is to keep your head above water and abide by the platform.

              Yea. Normal political parties require political participation for their members, the bare minimum of which is paying dues. In the US, you just check a box when you register to vote and you're a member.

            True but I want to leave the breakdown out there so that our American comrades can see what success looks like. I hadn't really thought about some of the fundamentals till it was broken down for me.

            Right, participation in liberal electoralism is like the 3rd or 4th priority
