About us
Founded as a German association at dawn on the vernal Spring Equinox of 2023 at the geographical centre of the European Union (near Gadheim/Germany), the European Idealist Movement n.e.V. unites around the purpose of creating humanistic political parties of a new type for Europe, which will take liberal democracy to the next level to face and solve the crises of security, climate/environment and extreme social inequality.
We are in the process of setting up the first political party called “European Idealists” in Germany, which intends to participate in the parliamentary elections in Bavaria this year, as well as the European Parliamentary elections of 2024 and the German Parliamentary elections in 2025.
Simultaneously, we are looking to expand the Movement and the new type of political parties to other EU countries.
Our core value is Humanism, meaning Human life, Human Dignity, Human rights and freedoms as well as Human happiness. We believe that the conditions to fulfill the promise of those values have to be fostered and protected.
We believe the central dimensions to achieve those to be Security, Climate/Environment & the Reduction of Extreme Social Inequality.
We furthermore have 2 central cross-cutting themes:
*Good Governance
* Pro-Europeanism (further European unification into a federal European state)
Why a new party?
Acting Decisively on 3 Key Areas & 2 Cross-Cutting Themes is unlikely to happen fast enough with pre-existing parties: → A New Type of Party is needed = European Idealists
What makes European Idealist a New Type of Party?
Unique features of European Idealists:
* Party for Idealists Only
Selective, multi-stage selection procedure for members in order
to admit only idealistic, altruistic personalities who primarily want
to serve the common good and to avoid psychopaths/sociopaths,
narcissists and opportunists from the outset.
Focus on Quality, not Quantity of Membership.
* Mission Mainstreaming
The activity of party members in the party should always serve our stated goals & purposes and may not be counterproductive or harmful
* Permanent Expert government / Pros only
We will require all members of government to have at least 5 years of expertise and/or advanced training in the field they will be working in
* Greatest possible Separation of Powers between Parliament and Government (Montesquieu):
Party members may not belong to any government (exception: parliamentary state secretaries) and government members must be non-party members.
* Psychological & Neurological Assessment Required for Candidates for high Government Office:
Must undergo 2 psychological assessments and a brain scan to exclude psychopaths & sociopaths as far as possible.
* Mentoring & Fostering Leadership
We will look to build a Dream Team in the party, parliaments and government and will thus seek competence and true leadership, which will supersede seniority & regional representation.
* Our Own Quota System with blocks of 4 with 50% women and 25% migrants/PoC quota.
* 80% Newcomer Quota for parliamentary lists every Election Cycle
* No participation in Municipal Elections:
Real focus on where it matters most for our central values, 3 core dimensions and 2 cross-cutting themes, which means we are only contesting elections at state, national and European level.
* Zero Tolerance for Corruption
* Progressive Membership Fees
* General Assemblies instead of Delegate System
* No Youth Organisation
