When political parties and public policy groups with such divergent views unite in a
common cause it clearly attests to the fact that ballot access reform is not a partisan or special - interest group
issue, but a question of fundamental freedom that transcends political and
ideological differences.
This raises thorny political, social, economic and
ideological issues revolving around the concept of the «tragedy of the
commons», and while this thread can be an interesting forum for discussing that concept, it is unlikely to resolve those
issues to the satisfaction of disparate parties.
