Labor Party Standing Committee (10/12-6/13)

[Kitteh]

I humbly propose that the platform include kittens.

[Kitteh]

Sorry, just a stupid attempt to be funny. I'll shut up know.

*runs and hides in a corner*

[Kitteh]

By "core principles", do you mean something like:

[Kitteh]

I'm all for this.

And the kittens if people want them

[Kitteh]

Snowball, I propose a compromise. How about we include kittens in a way that is serious? Such as a platform plank supporting laws guaranteeing humane treatment for animals, that includes an appeal to "Think of the kittens!"

[Kitteh]

If we're going to have kittens, I know a Snowstalker and myself who will be demanding that we have ponies too...

I'm all for ponies (but not your sig, Fluttershy is totally best pony). Maybe add something like this to the platform?

[Kitteh]

So the general rule is first pref the labor with the least first pref. and second pref the other then vote based on endorsements and personal pref.

Pretty much.

I would encourage all party members to monitor the election trackers that are in operation around here during elections to know exactly where there votes would help the most.

And preferably to not vote immediately when the polls open and instead wait a little and see how the results are stacking up so you can tell where you vote will be most effective, no?

[Kitteh]

I would say just Oakland would be best. It's a working-class city that could probably use the economic boost more than Berkeley. Plus it works well with Labor principles.

[Kitteh]

I would like to announce the founding of a Cultural Marxist caucus within the Labor Party.

I would like to announce a split of said caucus and the foundation of the Bretzelite Cultural Marxist caucus within the Labor Party.

I demand our party un-endorse Zanas for his counterrevolutionary revisionist beliefs deviating from true Marxism-Leninism-Sibbolethism.

[Kitteh]

"Inception" is a relative term, as this recent set of by-laws was the first set adopted using the convention procedure - as set forth in the only other set of by-laws ever adopted by this Party.

Indorsementception.

[Kitteh]

Hmm...I'd like there to be a competitive race just for the sake of it, but I'm not going to run against any of these candidates because they're all better for the job then I am, and I don't see anyone better than them getting in.
