by STEVEN KAASGAARD Editor's note: There are about a dozen Green candidates or candidates affiliated with the Greens running in the May 2 election. One of them is Steven Kaasgaard, who is running as an Independent Green in Simcoe Centre riding. Approached about having a party platform published for today's edition of the newspaper, Kaasgaard on Sunday afternoon submitted the following material, which he had in the back of his ear. It comes furnished with the name of one Peter Franke, with a Toronto address and telephone number. We were unable to contact Mr. Franke but there is reference in the article to a constitutional discussion paper of the Green party of Canada, and the text submitted by Mr. Kaasgaard is reprinted here: Participatory Democracy Democracy is a Greek word and means people-rule. It has been defined as a govern- ment of the people, by the people, for the Green Party talks about 'people-rule" people. For the People How much of a government has to be for the people to satisfy this part of the definition? To be a hundred percent for the people means that the bureaucrats would have to work for the people voluntarily. But not even a good charity organization works at a hundred percent efficiency. About 10 cents out of every dollar donated goes towards administration. According to Parkinson's Law and John Galls Systemanlics, systems tend to grow and as soon as more money is spent on ad- ministration than on what the money was intended for, the organization exists for itself rather than for others. This is a vital distine- tion because it provides the criteria by which to judge our present government. About two thirds of all the tax money collected is spent on the bureaucracy. In other words, a bureaucracy is not for the people but for it- self. A bureaucracy is a government of the bureaucrats, by the bureaucrats, for the bureaucrats. Of The People In order to be of the people, a person has to be for the people. It is not merely a matter of reading the three parts of the definition one by one, but it is necessary to determine how the parts of a system are interrelated. A system is a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Because Participatory Democracy is only in its infancy, we can learn more about it by studying simpler, analogous, working systems. | Participatory Management is analogous to Participatory Democracy, if is a management of the workers, by the workers, for the workers. Robert Townsend has given an excellent description of it in his 'Further up the Organization." Bureaucracy is another working model, it may not work for the people but it certainly works for the bureaucrats (until they run out of taxpayers). Bureaucracy works because those that are of the bureaucracy know that they have to be for it as well. You can't serve two masters, For The People When Trudeau left he handed out a great number of jobs. These jobs went to members of the establishment. The people that were patronized in this way are the kind of people by whom this country is governed and they make the decisions that affect the lives of the rest of us. If the majority doesn't want the bomb, then, in a true democracy, the bureaucrats can no longer spend those billions on "defense."' But what about the communist threat? Bombs can't stop ideas. The Communists are gaining ground ideologically, precisely because of our corrupt policial system. We are giving substance to their propaganda. The only realistic way to stop the spread of Communism is by offering a_ realistic alternative to it and that alternative is Participatory Democracy. Cosmetic dentistry-a smile is forever by DR.
