Re: A new French political party (none / 0)
Can you explain what is meant by exécutif in the Party's charter?
Il n'est pas possible d'appartenir à un exécutif et d'être membre du Parti pour la décroissance (À l'exception des communes de moins de 3 500 habitants).

It means you cannot be a minister, mayor etc
(except for towns with less than 3000 inhabitants, which are basically villages ... in villages that small mayors traditionally do not belong to any party, or rarely that is).

The idea is that no one in this new party can be an elected official. If you are elected by this party, then you must quit the party. You will be reinstated in the party once your term is over.

This is supposed to eliminate career/ambition motivated memberships.

Interesting.

The German Greens have a similar, tough less radical system. On one hand, on no post do they have a single top leader - both the party and the fraction are double-headed. On the other hand, there is a strict prohibition of holding multiple offices of different kind: you can be either in the government, or a federal or state parliamentary fraction, or in the party leadership, but not in more than one of these.
