PORP - The Party of Reason and Progress

[RNG]

One caveat. I am assuming there would be no change from first past the post.

And that is something I am becoming more and more against.

Goop? I'm afraid I don't understand the reference. All I can think of is hand cleaner.

It's Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle company that recently came under fire for dubious health care claims for its products. PORP, like GOOP, seems a bit pretentious. In any case, the web sites seems to simply echo the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Nothing particularly innovative but I'll take a deeper look.

On second thought, the pro-nuclear and pro-GMO platforms lead me to suspect this may be a corporatist wolf dressed in liberal sheep's clothing.

My concern with GMOs is that they are leading to corporate monopolies controlling our food supply. It seems absurd that if a wind blows GMO seeds onto your property, you would have to pay royalties on any resulting crops.

it is impossible to avoid bias completely

True, but knowing that helps you adjust and plan accordingly. That's why science is peer-reviewed, and evidence based.

I don't understand what you mean.

I know of MANY anti-vaxxers who are quite definitely on the RIGHT. They distrust almost ALL of what they perceive as government-backed science. Fluoride in the water is a Chinese Communist plot, don't you know? Global warming is a Chinese Communist mind control plot, just like Donald Trump believes. 'Over-population' is a UN conspiracy to create a one-world government, and etc. and etc.

But yes, the anti-GMO movement seems to be largely based in the left.
