We may be trying to change the way things are, but that doesn't mean we should ignore an issue just because most people may not want to talk about it.  The questions are not intended to establish a platform for the party, they are there to allow us to know how the candidates will vote if the issue appears.

The platform of GOOOH is about as general as you can get; Replace the politicians in office now with people who will represent the people who votes for them.  As far as I can tell, the Party does not take a stance on issues.

Why do we even care about this when we are trying to change our government.  WE need to be more general about the platform to attract a large base.  something like this can be debated later.

The current wording seems decent to me.  If you want to change it, I believe that a better change might incorperate this:

Remove the Insanity defense.  Allow the defendant to plea Guilty by cause of Insanity, or something to that effect.   If the defendant could prove that he was not in control of his actions, similar to how it is now, the he or she would be placed in a mental institution until deemed mentally fit.  At which time, the defendant would be transfered to prision to serve the remaining sentence.  So if the term was set for 15 years, and it takes 5 years to treat the defendant, the remaining 10 years are spent in prison.

The main reason for this would be to remove those people who are mentally fit from the institution so that those who are in need of help can recieve the treatment they need.

An early proposal on this was, "Will you vote to require that any person who uses the insanity defense must agree to be committed to a mental institution for life?" What would you propose?
