Sorry, thought you had a say in what the platform was... my mistake.
I've read all of the different political parties platforms. I read them every four years because they all change every four years.
The Constitution Party is more aligned with my own political ideology than any other political party. But I'm a card carrying member of the Republican National Committee. By being so, I at least have one voice but since the late 1990's the conservative base of the Republican Party lost control of the Party to the neoconservatives. The neoconservatives lost control of the GOP in 2010 but unfortunately no one is in control of the GOP today.
Those who identify themselves as being independent have to be real careful, there is an "Independent Party" that is registered and recognised in many states and they also have a platform.
A couple of years ago on the Politico's forum I pointed that out to many who in their profiles identified themselves as being independents but the Politico options when picking your identity had independent capitalized (Independent) which would mean that they picked the "Independent Party." There were hundreds who changed their profile from "Independent" to "other" or something else.
I surprised the DP doesn't have "reactionary" which is right of conservative.
