movement founder Fernando Flores speaks at the launch event a month ago.
I know that it's currently just a movement, but Chile Primero could become my kind of political party. I see the ubiquity of communications technology (everyone has a cell phone, everyone has an e-mail account) as the future of politics and Fernando Flores, the movement's founder, clearly sees this too. The party seems honestly concerned with revolutionizing politics and how citizens interact with their governments, and I find this very exciting because that's what I am interested in too.
Of the different elements of creating a political party, the one that interests me most is the website and I've been talking to the people who are involved in it to see how I can participate. I'm really enthusiastic about their plans for the site (though I'll ask their permission before blogging about those plans.) I'm meeting with the website director, Alberto Precht, tomorrow and then I'll have a better idea of my role.
My goal is to learn how digital politics works in practice and I think I could learn a lot from being involved in Chile Primero.
