[Clyde1998]

Guys, this is supposed to be two-round FPTP. Didn't anyone read the bylaws?

I have an amendment planned for the by-laws.

I went to bed before I could close the ballot, but the 48 hour deadline passed last night so the ballot is closed. I'll be posting some further comments/update on the state of the Party after I get back from campus

Final Tally

Chair

Blair2015: 14 votes

LongLiveRock: 5 votes


Deputy Chair

Harry S Truman: 13 Votes

Mike Wells: 5 Votes

[Blair]

'Friends it's an honour to be re-elected as Chair after a year serving the Party. However it's clear that the party must not get complacent, and must not think that we've achieved all we can. There is a lot more work for us to do, but we must do this work together. For this reason I want to expand the leadership of the party to bring both Mike Wells and LLR into leadership roles into the newly created LNC. I will be discussing with them both specifically about what roles they will take, but lets be clear- Labor needs to continue to reform.

For this reason there's several steps that I want to take. Firstly I will opening a special conference to begin work on the party policy policy platform- seeing as we didn't do one in October as I was running for President (and didn't have time!) As we control the House, the Senate and the majority of regions it's right for Labor to prepare for a comprehensive plan for government.

I will also begin work on the Labor charter- a document that will act in addition to the by-laws to codify the parties values, and beliefs.''

Labor Convention Update

• Never-Again/Southern Gothic elected as the Presidential Ticket
• Blair and Truman re-elected as Chair and Deputy Chair
• Tasks Left- Nomination of next convention location and creation of party policy platform
  
  
  

[windjammer]

Maybe I should run for president in four months. I miss a bit running for offices

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I nominate Lancaster, Pennsylvania for the site of the next convention.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

It has to be in Fremont, I think, R2D2.

That being said, I nominate Portland, Oregon for the site of the Summer 2017 Labor convention.

Dang it.

I nominate:

Seattle, Washington,
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Salt Lake City, Utah

I also second the nomination of Portland, Oregon.

[LLR]

I nominate my (adoptive) home of Denver, Colorado

[Blair]

It will be in Fremont, for newer members (and some older members who still don't know the states ) here are the states we can have. Nominations must be seconded, and will follow the same voting structure as the Primary (mainly because I'm in love with the French System atm)

[Blair]

I nominate Omaha, Nebraska

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I second the nomination Omaha, Nebraska. I would vote for Portland, but I think we held our last western convention there.

Updated this post, reposting for visibility

I nominate:

Seattle, Washington,
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Salt Lake City, Utah

I also second the nomination of Portland, Oregon.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I second the nomination of Minneapolis.  I'll see if we can book some local hardcore bands to play at the convention.
