Joy's use of basic etymology.
plat•form (plătˈfôrmˌ)
1540s, "plan of action, scheme, design," from Middle French plateforme, platte fourme, literally "flat form," from Old French plat "flat" (see plateau (n.)) + forme "form" (see form (n.)).
Political meaning, "statement of party policies," is from 1803, probably originally an image of a literal platform on which politicians gather, stand, and make their appeals, and perhaps influenced by earlier sense of "set of rules governing church doctrine" (first attested 1570s)--http://www.etymonline.com
