The thought party Zero Barrier Party - ZBP

The Mandate of ZBP


  • What is ZBP? - the Zero Barrier Party (ZBP) shall be a political party which shall criticize the Government of Maldives towards constantly improving its governance.

  • Pacifism - ZBP shall inherently exercise pacifism, opting only the use of non-violent means in undertaking its activities. Members failing to do so shall have their memberships revoked and their crimes, if any, tried in a court of law.

  • Goals? - ZBP will have three quintessential tasks: 1) enforcing transparent governance on the Government of Maldives such that all inquisitions of any citizen or legal entity should be answered, 2) making all policies open and fair such that all citizens/legal entities have equal rights to attain resources and opportunities governed by policies, and 3) implementing the legal infrastructure necessary to sustain the transparent governance and open policies.

  • Elections - the party shall require at least half of its members to vote for any decisions it makes in an open ballot, unless otherwise stated in The Mandate of ZBP or other documentation ratified by the members of the party. The party shall not make any decision unless ratified by such an electoral process.

  • Finances - all acquisition, dispersion and investment of finances for and of ZBP are subject to acceptance by at least 50% of the members of the party.

  • Amendment of the mandate of ZBP - any additions, amendments and deletions made to The Mandate of ZBP can occur only upon acceptance by at least 50% of the members of the party.

  • Implementation and enhancement - implementations and enhancements brought to the party's processes, organization structure, departments, committees, pressure groups and all relevant rules and regulations can only be carried out by committees comprising members elected by the members of the party. In this regard, the task of constituting the initial administrative department shall rest upon a committee elected by the members of the party.

  • Law - ZBP shall be governed by the articles of 'this bill of law' upon its ratification.

  • General assembly - ZBP shall hold a general assembly within the course of 30 days from receiving necessary 'licenses'/permissions from the relevant authorities. General assemblies shall be held once every year. At every general assembly a date shall be fixed for the following year's general assembly. The chair for the first general assembly shall be Mr. X of Clan Y. General assemblies shall hear all motions made by the members of the party.


Think that's alright for the initial mandate of ZBP (not including the rules and regulations of course), eh?

I thought it was important that constitutional changes, such as deciding the enactment and characteristics of councils unto which responsibilities are delegated, be instigated through referendums amongst the members. In other words, the initial mandate should be devoid of any contraints whatsoever from the outset, allowing the 'styling' of the mandate up to the members themselves starting from the first general assembly.

Zaeemu? hmmm... tempting :)
