x Cranberry, General Secretary

[Cranberry]

For the (given, quite unlikely) case that our party should win a number of seats greater than eight, and in order not to spoil the possible seat in question, I will include all other members of our party, ranked by date of joining the party, behind the elected members on our party list.

x Cranberry, General Secretary

[CLARENCE 2015!]

To the members of the Socialist Party- I ask for your second vote in the election for preferences.....I am committed as leader of the Whig Party to universal singe payer health care which we can work on together....I will be asking for other parties second preferences as well but I only due so by citing what we have in common

I welcome any questions on the Whig Party page so as not to distract from your party business....

Again- I ask for your vote for the Whig Party for second preference

[Cranberry]

Thank you for taking the time to adress our convention, Mr. Clarence. However, as our party General's Secretary, I have the duty to inform you that under the present electoral system used for elections in South America, no second preferences are able to be given, just one vote for one single party list. Since you have however already outlined the similarities in your positions with the one's of our party, I can only invite you to join the Socialist Party and join us in our committment for a positive development for our nation.

Given Murica's stated willingness to desert the Socialist Party after the election, I motion to expel him from the party.

Withdrawn based on changing events

[Murica!]

Given Murica's stated willingness to desert the Socialist Party after the election, I motion to expel him from the party.

I didn't state that I will, just that it's a possibility if the party continues on it's right wing social-democratic path.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Party procedure means that that would be an issue for the National Executive (of which Comrade PJ is a member) if it is to be pursued.

Given Murica's stated willingness to desert the Socialist Party after the election, I motion to expel him from the party.

I didn't state that I will, just that it's a possibility if the party continues on it's right wing social-democratic path.

So you are willing.

[Murica!]

I would like to apologize about my past statement on defecting, I simply felt that the party leadership was trying to marginalize me and was uncertain if the party that I created was truly what I wanted it to be. I hereby retract my statements on defection.

According to our constitution, the Convention overrules the National Executive when in session.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Ah, yes, of course. Interesting.

[Cranberry]

Since Comrade Murica has apologised for his remarks, I guess we can bury that issue, and look forward to other matters, that is, obviously, to win the elections!

Forward, comrades, forward into the future!
