Welcome.  As newly elected Chair, I have decided to officially close the convention; this will now be the official thread.

Your party leaders are:

Chair: Scott
Vice Chair: Napoleon
Whip: Wolfentoad

Our platform is as follows:

Quote
Official Liberal Party Platform

THIS PARTY is hereby founded on the conviction that every Atlasian has the opportunity to succeed, to prosper, and to live freely in this great society.  We resolve the debate over the role of government in our lives by demonstrating that it is neither the enemy nor the solution, but instruments to give our people the tools and conditions to make the most of their lives.

The Liberal Party, as it shall forever be known, holds the following:

-   That abortion is a woman’s right; we give our support to safe, accessible, rare, and legal abortion
-   That free trade agreements are the best way to create prosperity, both in Atlasia and foreign countries, as long as they do not infringe on the ability of one to succeed
-   That compassionate and realistic immigration policy expands economic opportunity and strengthens our nation
-   That the family and the community are the primary units of society
-   That the liberalization of sex and drug policies should happen at regional and federal level
-   That we ought to, on a regional and federal level, avoid over-regulation on businesses
-   That welfare is a second chance, and not a second way of life
-   That government adopt as much of a non-intervention foreign policy as possible, while defending our borders against new security threats of terror, weapons of mass destruction, organized crime, and racial and religious conflicts, all without compromising our constitutional rights
-   That the death penalty is barbaric and violates human rights
-   That progressive taxation makes the tax code fairer, and creates the incentive for the top earners to spend and create jobs.  New taxes, if necessary, should never be applied to low and middle income homes.
-   That government should help the individual and the families, not corporations
-   That the common worker is the centerpiece of our economy
-   That LGBT citizens are entitled to the same rights and privileges as others, including marriage and child adoption
-   That substance and results, not ideology or partisanship, are what move us forward

The details for our upcoming Liberal National Convention are as follows:

Current Schedule

Day One:
- Members sign in
- Discussion of business

If enough members feel it is necessary, I will include time to adopt a new platform at the convention.  I am only reluctant to do so because of how long it took to come up with the one we have now. :P

The Liberal National Committee ('Liberal Party') shall forever abide by the following rules and procedures as prescribed by this document.

Section 1. Party Officers

The Chair shall be the leader of the party and be responsible for planning, opening, closing, and running conventions, writing new platforms and bylaws when needed, and representing the party.

The Vice Chair shall be deputy leader of the party and take the role of Interim Chair when the Chair is unable to fulfill his or her duties.  He or she shall be responsible for membership recruitment, candidate recruitment, and assisting the Chair.

The Whip shall be the official vote counter for the party.  He or she shall be responsible for counting votes (both on bylaws, platforms, and leadership elections) at conventions.

b. Party leadership shall be selected each February, June, and October of the year during the third day of the conventions.

c. Members interested in running for a leadership position may declare their candidacies at any time before conventions to appear on the ballot.

d. Terms for party leaders shall begin immediately after the elections are certified by the Whip.

e. Party leaders may be recalled if 1/4 of party members sign a petition for recall of that official(s) within a week of the day that the petition is posted on the Atlas Fantasy Elections board.

f. If a vacancy for any of the three leadership positions shall appear, a special election will be held at the following convention.  If the Chairmanship becomes vacant, the Vice Chair shall assume the role until a new Chair can be selected, and the Vice Chair shall temporarily appoint someone to fill their former position.  If the office of the Whip becomes vacant, the Chair shall temporarily appoint someone to fill their position.  All vacancies must be filled by members of the party.

Section 2. Membership & Privileges

Section 3. Conventions
a. Conventions shall take place each February, June, and October of the year, at least one week before the general elections.  During these conventions, members may discuss general business and platforms, propose amendments to the platform and bylaws, deliver speeches, and vote for leadership and rule changes.  Elections for party leadership and platform/bylaw changes shall be held on the third day.

b. The Chair will be obligated to plan the time and location of party conventions.

a. In the event of multiple party members declaring their candidacy for an office that does not elect multiple people, there shall be a primary election. The voting method in the primaries shall be first past the post. The winner shall receive the automatic endorsement of the party for that office.

b. The Chair shall then notify the SoFE that the winner of the primary shall appear as the official Liberal candidate and that if the others refuse to drop out after the primary they shall be considered as "Independent" on the ballot.

Section 5. Endorsements
a. The Liberal Party may choose by majority vote to cross-endorse candidates from other parties running for federal offices, assuming no Liberal candidate is already in the race.

b. Should there be no Liberal candidate running, the endorsed candidate(s) shall appear under the Liberal ballot line.

Seeing as you have the most swing voters, here is why you shouldn't endorse the whigs:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=152205.0
Their proposals  are obviously unrealistic. I(and hopefully the rest of Labor party) will not propose financially unrealistic legislation like that. All of the bills proposed by me will have clear proposals on how to raise revenue for them(if necessary). I am not exactly sure how Atlasia works, if the fiscal matters have to have a separate vote, but I will research the rules of the game and current tax structure so that all of the bills proposed by me fiscally realistic. See my thread to learn more.

Should we endorse candidates for the Senate elections this month?  Every time a party vote is held for something, turnout is rather pessimistic, so I'm a bit reluctant to do so.

We also (supposedly) have two people pursuing Senate candidacies: Bacon King and NVTownsend.  However, neither has made a formal campaign announcement, yet.


Title: Re: Liberal National Committee Headquarters

That's great news. So everyone's running for re-election, save Wormy, with Bacon King, NVTownsend, and Snowstalker running as well?

Unless anyone changes their mind, I believe so. :)

No, actually.  I thought he did, but I checked.

I'm thinking about changing my votes since the Liberal Party, at this rate, seems to be the only one on pace to endorse non-party candidates.

Also, I would like to remind everyone that abstention votes will not be counted.  If you don't want someone to get an endorsement, vote nay on them.  Just thought I should mention that. ;D


Title: Re: Liberal National Committee Headquarters
Post by: Napoleon on August 19, 2012, 01:57:48 PM
I didn't want to vote Nay on anyone but I think the divisive efforts by Seatown and Snowstalker require that our party deny them our support. When they decide they want to contribute to leftist cooperation, I will reconsider.

NAY on Snowstalker
Change my Aye to NAY on Seatown

You'd better be outraged at the path your Liberal Party is taking because if you guys continue to recruit libertarians, centrists and leftists at the same time it will become less and less clear what your party stands for. ;)

I believe it would result in a party best described as "moderate liberalitarian".

Perfect for someone like you! ;)

'Twould, were I not a Southerner.

I've said I'd join the Liberals if I weren't in the Imperial Bloc/IDS. Just thought that should be brought to the attention of the party in your endorsement vote.

I never had the desire to appear divisive or bring about divisiveness, to be completely honest.  When Snowstalker and Seatown decide to cooperate and ZuWo decides to mind his own business, I may reconsider my vote, as well.  I think it's shameful that two great parties are unable to work together out of spite for minor differences on the issues, but I find it wrong for us to endorse candidates from other parties and get nothing in return.  And quite frankly, if we have Senate candidates running that demonstrate no desire to work with people they don't agree with all the time, then I don't believe they're qualified to hold public office.  Debate gets heated enough in the Senate between the left and the right at times, and I fear that endorsing people who wish to break the bond between the leftist parties will only lead to further polarization.

Snowstalker has not been particularly shy about having this desire.

You don't appear divisive at all.

Oh, I don't necessarily blame the Labor Party as there are a lot of great folks over there. I've decided to endorse Marokai for Senate because he is a serious and dedicated Atlasian, and this is despite our history. Snowstalker is prolonging the problems of the past with his personality-driven politics instead of actually working to help the Left. He tries to play this game of "Who's the Real Leftist?" while voting for Clarence and trying to make shady deals with the Whig Party. Seatown can't even get along with the Labor Party's only other Senator. This mess certainly isn't our doing and frankly I want to stay away from it and the contributors to it.

That's why I can't support them. I intended to only make positive endorsements in this campaign but I can't sit back and let the game devolve to such a primitive state right when we are finally getting back on track and people are more interested in Atlasia than they have been in a while. If Snowstalker has his way, I imagine a new low for Atlasia.

Hold on. Snowstalker addressed the Whig Party, your President also posted in the Whig Party Convention thread, and I replied to Snowstalker's post in the Whig Party thread, so everything I wrote is very well my own business. Moreover, I stand by what I said: It is important for a political party - be it the Labor Party or the Whig Party - to have its own identity and try to distinguish itself very clearly from other parties. If that's not the case, a party is doomed. It's a good sign if the Labor Party starts to emancipate itself from the Liberal Party and becomes more unique.

This isn't the way to go about it. This isn't "emancipating" and "becoming unique". This is fracturing the left, which of course you want, as it'll help the Whig candidates. ;) I really can't see how the two liberal parties splitting up is supposed to be beneficial to them.

It isn't supposed to benefit the Left. Anyone on the Left who thinks ZuWo has their best interests at heart and is speaking on their behalf might as well just join the Whigs and elect JCL to the Presidency or Senate or whatever.

No, I don't want to fracture the right (or the left for that matter).
I want diverse parties in Atlasia which represent diverse ideologies because this is what ultimately benefits the game. I always said I wouldn't mind to have a second party on the right next to the Whig Party but all attempts have failed so far. Likewise, since there are so many leftists in Atlasia it's more exciting for the game if we have diverse parties on the left (and this diversity is only possible if the parties can actually be distinguishable from each other).

Out of respect for the Liberal Party, this has been my last post in this thread.

Details about the upcoming convention will be released after the At-Large Senate election.


Title: Re: Liberal National Committee Headquarters
Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on August 26, 2012, 11:55:39 PM
First, I would like to congratulate the winners of this month's At-Large Senate election.  I look forward to working with both those who retained their seats and those who will be joining the Senate for the first time. :)

A big thank you to those who sent PMs out this weekend.  The Liberals did very well this weekend, being the only party to gain seats (two of them), and it will be a pleasure having Senators-elect Bacon King and NVTownsend fight for us in the Senate.

Now, onto convention matters.  The details of our next convention are as follows:

Liberal National Convention, October 2012
Theme: Step-by-Step
Location: Hamburg Township, Michigan
Date: October 5-7

Just as last time, the first day will be the time for sign-ins and proposals to our platform/bylaws, the second day is when the floor will be open to speeches, and the third day is when we vote on the proposed changes to the platform/bylaws and elect party leadership.  This will also be the first convention in which we have a February straw poll.

Vice President Napoleon has informed me that he will not be seeking another term, so we need someone to fill his spot.  If you would like to run for a leadership position, between now and the convention is the time to announce your intention to.

To start, I will be running for another term as Chair.

Mr. Chairman,
Members of the Liberal Party,

Thank you for this opportunity to address you today.

I am running for re-election as Mideast Governor because many great things have been achieved during my first term. Firstly, I have introduced the first regional budget in the history of the Mideast and together with the members of the Assembly and GM Shua I have worked hard to make it as balanced as possible. Secondly, I have updated the relevant pages on the regional wiki. Thirdly, I have improved communication between the Governor’s mansion and the regional citizens with the monthly publication of the “Governor’s newsletter” and the question time sessions. Additionally, I have played an active role in the debates of the Mideast Assembly and have contributed to the fact that our regional legislature is again one of the most active Assemblies in Atlasia. Because of the increased rates of activity the Mideast has witnessed since I took office, it is now the largest region in Atlasia, tied with the Northeast.

In general, my first term has been marked by pragmatism and common-sense solutions. Let me show this to you with concrete examples. In fact, I took into account suggestions from people with diverse ideologies when I put together the final version of the “Mideast Sex Crime Statute”. Furthermore, I proposed a reform of the “Mideast Time of Alcohol Sales Statute” so alcohol can now be sold day and night just like other products. Moreover, in order to balance the budget I decided not to cut government programs but to do away with certain tax breaks instead. This way, we have managed to reduce the deficit from $32 billion to $22 billion. In contrast to my opponent, who has called for lower corporate tax rates, I will not lower taxes in times of a looming budget deficit, and I can't promise the citizens of the Mideast to bring down unemployment to 5% and to balance the budget at the same time when we are still not completely out of a long and unrelenting recession. Above all, I will continue to be a realistic Governor.
 
I am undoubtedly a conservative but I am not a blind ideologue. My top priority is to find good and viable solutions for the Mideast. I have proven my willingness and ability to work with members of all parties during the debates in the Mideast Assembly and with my appointment of Franzl to the Mideast Superior Court. Additionally, I have received the endorsement of Northeast Governor Nix, with whom I have worked together in the Conference of Atlasian Regional Executives.

I am a conservative and clearly not a liberal. Nevertheless, I will continue to be open to suggestions from all political groups should I be re-elected to a second term.

Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to speak to you today,

Governor ZuWo

Thank you for having me today,

I'll try and keep this as brief as possible...lol. I'm running for Governor of the Mideast because I've had a great experience playing Atlasia, and I'd like to give others that same experience. As Governor, my administration will have a big focus on "newbies". I'm not just going to recruit members to my party or parties similar to mine ideologically - I have a proven record of recruiting Atlasians of all political strikes. I will continue that as Governor by forming a bi-partisan commission to not only bring new members to our region, but to also help really integrate the game.

On to policy, one of the top priorities of my administration will be education reform - Currently teacher pay in our region is largely based on student performance. This law is an attack on rural, lower-income area's, and under my administration, I will do everything I can to protect the teacher's of our great region. Additionally, while a balanced budget would be ideal, it will not be absolutely essential right of the bat if I'm elected Governor. I hope to have a balanced budget at the end of my term, but we can't be cutting government to a point where our economy is taking an impact because of it. I am currently involved in an effort to repeal the death penalty on a national level, and am an advocate for animal rights. I will never discriminate against an animal because of their breed - bad owners create bad dogs. Additionally, I am supportive of the Equal Rights Amendment, something Governor ZuWo is openly opposed to.

No matter who wins this election, the Mideast will have an active, capable leader. Unlike my opponent, who has called me everything from erratic to a liar, I'm not going to let this campaign become about tearing each other down, rather, I want this campaign to be about bringing solutions to our region. I humbly ask for the Liberal Party endorsement - you have a tough choice to make, but with me, I think you'd be endorsing a fully capable, active person who is also much closer to your political ideology. As a citizen of Atlasia, I have given high preferences to members of all ideologies, something that is looked down by others in this game, unfortunately (And in RL, damn you Richard Mourdock!!! :P). With me, you will have a friend in the Governor's mansion - someone who will be very willing to work with your members to create a better region for us all.

I appreciate all of the good members of your party who have endorsed me thus far, such as Senator Scott and President Napoleon. I now hope I am honored with the endorsement of this party as a whole. :)

Thanks,
Isaac :)

The convention starts in less than two weeks and we still don't have anyone who wants to run for Whip.

I truly don't mean to step in uninvited, but please don't change to the JCP!  I have fond memories of the party and was a member for a long time.  But, it took so much effort to get all of the old parties to agree to the "Great Dissolution" that I'd hate to see it be all for naught. ;)

No, no, definitely not.  I don't think a merger would solve anything because not everyone would agree to it and I think many Liberals and Labors would feel conflicted if they had to abandon their parties now.

We'll be okay :) The Whigs, not so sure.

The Liberals went from having six Senate seats to three (soon to be two) in just three weeks.  It's hard to celebrate with that, but I guess we'll see.  A lot can happen in four months...

Liberal National, you say? John Simon (later Lord Simon) was a bit of a prick, just so you know. Glorious anecdote - seemingly taken from a book Woy Jenkins wrote so take with as much salt as seems appropriate - from his wiki bio:

Quote
Another anecdote from the late 1940s tells how the socialist intellectual G. D. H. Cole got into a third-class compartment on the train back from Oxford to London, to break off conversation with Simon; to his dismay Simon followed suit, only for both men to produce first class tickets when the inspector did his rounds.

I'll get out of this thread now, but TBH no-one was going to beat Nix in the Northeast, and you guys... had a candidate in the Pacific. A very good one at that. And no-one to the left of Ben in any way is ever going to get elected in the Mideast.  Look how close it was against a relatively minor (sorry Jake :P) candidate.

There's no reason we should've handed them your seat on a silver platter while letting them take out Sbane. If the party ever collapses, we might look at that as the turning point. :(

Look, Senator, I'm just saying you are the leading cause of not contesting elections and letting the TPP stomp all over us!

Actually, the fault of not contesting elections is of all those who, well, decided not to contest the elections.  I can't just make people run.  The irony of this is that a good number of TPPers are former Liberals.  While I don't hold anything against individual members of TPP, I hold many things against the party as a whole.

While I appreciate the kind words from those who have suggested that I run for an at-large Senate seat, I will not be a candidate for either of the seats in these special elections.  I may well run in the future, but now is not the right time.  I don't see my office as a mere stepping-stone and I owe it to the people of the Mideast to see to it that the Assembly passes a balanced budget, education reform, immigration reform, fairer labor laws, etc.  The Assembly is on the cusp of passing each of these things and I must see them through.  Once the bills have all been voted on, who knows what the future may hold, but for now I am focused on doing the job that I was elected to do.  That said, I wish our party the best of luck in the upcoming elections and again, I am by no means closing the door on a run sometime in the future.

I certainly consider myself a friend of the Liberals and the leadership they have produced. I hope that I can show that I genuine liberal, ready to defend the rights of our individuals and to ensure fairness in our society, while also bringing to the Senate the kind of pragmatism and effort to reach across the aisle to come to a productive conclusion that I know your leader and our President has made his great name on.

I am very sorry to see that such close-mindedness has entered the ranks of our leftist movement; indeed I just finished making the same point in the Labor thread: I hope that not only will the Liberals consider these candidates, but consider them especially, on the grounds that they know their own candidates well enough. There is more to a candidate than the basic red and blue, and although it isn't often that a party endorses a non-member, I sincerely hope that no party ever closes its doors to the possibility. At the very very least, we should all respect those who are eager to fill these seats, left empty by some of our own allies, and be an active leader in the community.

SoS, you're gonna be my second choice, after Gonzalez. I will not consider Simfan. He does not represent any of the parties values what so ever. I do not want the TPP making more gains, and I especially don't want Sim in the senate.
Hey hey, and I totally understand that. I'm not trying to change your opinion on that. It was more the idea in general of "what is he doing here?" You wanna get nowhere near the dude? Fine by me.

This is really difficult for me.  I know who the Liberal Party 'should' endorse, but I like both candidates.  For now, I'll abstain and change my vote if no one else votes for a candidate.

Hey, new member here, in the Pacific area. I'm certainly on the right wing of the Liberal Party , but I agree with the basic ideological tenets of the movement, and although i consider myself to be on the economic right the Whig socio-cultural platform is one I'd rather not stomach.

Quote from: Federalist Party socio-cultural platform
- That freedom of speech, assembly, religion, the press, and respect for due process are essential components to a free society
- That the right to bear arms is a fundamental freedom that should be protected for all Atlasians
- That drug control policy is an issue best decided by regional governments
- That the respect of life should be promoted when considering abortion and the death penalty.
- That regional and federal governments should work together to promote legislation that encourages environmentally-friendly behavior

Hate to barge into the Liberal thread, but which parts of the platform of the Federalist Party (Whigs don't exist anymore; Federalists are the largest center-right party) do you disagree with?

Welcome to the party, Freefair.  One great way to promote the party to run for your region's legislature in February.  Fortunately, the Pacific has grown into a Liberal bastion the last few months, so I think your chances of winning a seat are quite fair even if your positions don't align with those on the party's platform 100%. :)

Title: Re: Liberal National Committee Headquarters
Post by: tmthforu94 on January 07, 2013, 12:34:34 AM
Good Evening,

Thank you for allowing me to speak at your headquarters.

Four years ago, I ran for Governor on a promise to bring a new era of bi-partisanship and success to our region. Today, looking back at my record, I believe I've accomplished both of those goals. Under my leadership, we have passed reforms to education, immigration, and unions. After years of discussing, we were finally able to pass the first Mideast budget (balanced, might I add), and we did so without cutting funds to entitlements or raising folks' taxes. I have been heavily involved in the debate of each bill or amendment we have voted on, and have authored many bills that are in our statue myself.

Activity in the Mideast Assembly and region as a whole has surged during the past four months - More legislation has passed under my term than ANY other term in the history of the Mideast! We have also never had as many candidates running for the Assembly as we will be having in these January elections. Our Wiki has also remained up-to-date during my administration, more updated than it has ever been!

Serving as Governor has been a unique and rewarding opportunity - we have many different personalities in our government, and it has been a thrill to see us all come together for the benefit of our region. When the people of the Mideast elected me last September, they elected me to promote bi-partisanship and compromise in the Assembly. And while some think that may not be necessary if one side has a supermajority, I still do. My opponent's campaign is almost entirely focused around my decision to veto one piece of legislation. If that one issue is what you personally base your vote on, then I suppose I've lost your vote. But I believe that being Governor is much more than just one's belief on a social issue, and I hope you all feel the same way.

There are many parts to serving as Governor - a deep understanding of our regional history, our Constitution, and our people is needed. It's also a good idea to have someone who knows when our elections are. ;) A commitment to fight for the interests of all Mideasterners is certainly needed, and someone is needed who can effectively maintain our region's Wiki. I have proved over the past four months than I can adequately fulfill all the tasks that come with being Governor. My opponent is a good person, and I have no doubt that he will continue to be an asset to our region in the coming months. But I firmly believe that the Mideast Region needs a Governor with the necessary experience to lead our region, and I believe I am the only candidate in the race that has that experience. I ask for your endorsement and your vote, and hopefully we can have four more months as successful as the last four. :)

Vote for the future. Vote for Tmthforu94.


Title: Re: Liberal National Committee Headquarters
Post by: Kitteh on January 08, 2013, 10:30:11 PM
Thank you all for the chance to speak here today. I am proud to be here in front of the members of your party. The Liberals have been my allies in the assembly throughout my term. Our parties have cooperated better in the Mideast than in any other region. Here, we sit in a formal coalition, through the Mideast People's Liberal Labor Caucus. I was very happy to serve with now-Senator Mr. X while he was a member of the assembly, and he and I agreed on almost every issue discussed there. I was sad to see him leave but at the same time I am glad he was elected Senator. I hope that I will be able to serve with Clinton1996 next term as well, whether that is as Governor or as a member of the assembly.

When I declared that I was running for Governor, I knew that I was a definite underdog. I'm sure you are all familiar with ZuWo's quote about even the Dalai Lama not being able to beat Tmth. At the time, it looked like the Governor's reelection was going to be uncontested, with no other candidate having declared. I can understand why this is; Tmth is a good, honest person who has made real, legitimate progress as Governor. I have been proud to work with him on a number of significant issues, including the transition to PR-STV and the (unfortunately unsuccessful) attempt to expand the assembly to seven members to account for increased activity in our region. I do not and have never questioned the Governor's character or integrity or that he is seriously committed to our region.

But at the same time, I believe it would be a deep disservice to this region to have this campaign be uncontested. While the Governor and I agree on many issues, we also have had our disagreements as well. We have had good, substantive debates in the assembly over many real issues (and no, not just abortion, as some have suggested ;) ), ranging from labor law reform to promoting fairness in education. And I fundamentally believe that Mideasterners deserve to have these issues debated in this campaign. That is why I am running; not out of opposition to Governor Tmthforu, not out of personal ambition, but to give The People a real choice to make on the issues that matter to us.

I have laid out my proposals for the region in my campaign platform (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=164676.msg3583188#msg3583188), which I hope that you will all read. I know that some of you may disagree with some points on there, but I hope that you will find that on the whole my ideas will help improve our region. I firmly believe that these proposals are the best thing for The People of the Mideast, as well as consistent with the Liberal Party's center-left, progressive views.

I know that many of you may not support me, and some here have already expressed their endorsement of Governor Tmthforu for reelection. I do not fault any of you for that at all. But I do hope that I can earn your support in achieving our parties' shared goals. Together, the Liberal and Labor parties can win this election and bring real, progressive change to the Mideast!

Thank you,
-Drj101

I'd like to congratulate the Governor on his victory in this poll, as well as thank the people who voted for me. I hope to have the support of some Liberal party members in the race for Governor, and I hope that Liberals will give me a high preference in the race for Mideast assembly to keep our Mideast People's Liberal Labor supermajority. Thank you, and good luck to Clinton1996 in his Assembly campaign!

 Section 5. Endorsements a. The Liberal Party may choose by majority vote to cross-endorse candidates from other parties running for federal offices, assuming no Liberal candidate is already in the race.

b. Should there be no Liberal candidate running, the endorsed candidate(s) shall appear under the Liberal ballot line.

c. The Chair shall inform the SoFE which candidates of other parties shall appear under the Liberal Party ballot line.


This election is not federal, and a Liberal candidate is running.

So, here's what I was thinking: the first day goes as normal; we sign in, allow people their last chance to declare for leadership positions, consider amendments to the platform/bylaws, and reserve the second day for speeches.  Then starting on the third day, we all "caucus" behind the ticket we want to endorse for president and elect new leaders.  If a ticket doesn't attain a majority or meet the quota, that ticket is eliminated, and we extend the convention period (three days max) until a ticket has a majority.  The winner of the caucus gets the Liberal Party's formal endorsement.

So to any candidates reading this, you might want to take advantage of the opportunity to speak to the convention on Tuesday.  Everyone's invited to advocate.

It makes things a little more complicated, but I think it'd be fun.  I kinda want to end my chairmanship here with a bang. :P
