	'''M-Pol''' is an unofficial discussion list hosted on Yahoo Groups, where issues of [[Mensa politics]] are discussed. It was founded by [[Sander Rubin]], and tends to a somewhat more anti-establishment tone than the other major Mensa political list, [[M-Grapevine]]. However, some of the same people are active on both lists and sometimes cross-post their messages to both of them.

		+	There is supposedly a rule that only current Mensans are allowed to post to the list, while others can "lurk" and read it. An exception was made to allow [[Barry Levine]] to post despite his expulsion from Mensa (and some others quit the list in protest of his being allowed), but subsequently the rule was not enforced on several others who resigned or lapsed from Mensa of their own accord but continued posting to M-Pol.
