No :-)
I'm talking there about the DPL candidates who didn't (or won't) get
elected.
Yes, they are not usually part of the teams we are discussing. And that
feels strange for me. Because many of the ideas proposed in the
platforms can be put in practise by joining such teams, there is no need
to be DPL for that. Then I wonder why they don't join the teams. A
possible answer is that before the elections they didn't consider that
possibility, and after the elections they become demotivated (because
they didn't get elected). This is perfectly understandable and I wonder
if having the DPL role is what is wrong and we should reconsider (and
promote the other structures that we have (teams,
delegates-or-call-them-what-you-like,etc) that allow more different
levels of commitment).
Kind regards,
