Philippine parties are multiplying in the country. But are they democratic in the way they are organized and run?
It is easy to say that we need a party in order to present our problems to the formal political institutions in our country. In the case of the 2010 elections, we need a party that will propel our candidacies, or carry the agenda that we want the government to carry, as well as one that will be the medium for us in presenting to the government our needs and wants.
Maybe we should really think through how to keep the political parties democratic, how to make them truly sensitive to the needs of the members, as well as open to their voicing out what they want, what they want to be heard by the leaders, and so many more.
