Finally a coherent message outlining the issues and targeted directly at the people who the protesters are trying to affect.

They still haven't provided a message of what they want, but this is a very well laid out list of grievances, and a coherent underhanded threat of what will happen if change isn't made.

I don't think this generation has to be lost, as they are finding their voice, they may create the change that will lead to a greater democracy than currently exists.

I still think they are trying to accomplish too much at once, but maybe that is my start-up experience talking.

If they picked one thing that would have an impact, and focused on that for the next 6 months, they could keep the momentum going.

What if they focused on limiting the power of lobbyists. That would have a significant affect on their voice in democracy. Personally, we are somewhat disenfranchised with the democratic process because the lobbyists have so much power.


This is one of the most precise diagnosis / analysis of current affairs I've seen in a long time.
