I'm sure the Chairman will forgive me for opening up the debate, but every good convention has a song to go along with it. Here are some my favourites

The People's Flag- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEKYQ4GOqmk

I would like to seek the Labor Party's endorsement for the Northeast Senate seat. I was a member of the Labor Party for two years and still share a strong commitment to its core values of social justice and environmentalism. In addition, I am clearly the more left-wing of the two candidates contesting the Northeast Senate seat this month.

I'm open for any questions.

I fully support your candidacy, and support TNF's motion.

[Blair]

i motion that we endorse hagrid for the southeastern senate seat

Who's he running against?

In my view, comprehensive healthcare reform should be our main aim. Does anyone even understand what the healthcare situation is in this country? We've got a mix of regional and federal laws that seem to place 101 different rules and regulations about the state of healthcare. When new candidates, like myself 6 months ago on the left they promise universal healthcare, and on the right they promise to repeal our socialist health system!.

I too fear the problems TNF speaks of, and I too wanted to make a Malaise speech. Our senate is very good at dealing with issues like my HIV/AIDs bill because frankly I'm extremely interested in HIV treatment (I study it for my health unit), but beyond small areas of policies and endless game reform we've failed to own the debate. We had a majority of 5 in the senate, that's now been pushed down to 3. We need a bold and radical statement that shows that the labor party is the only force behind social progressive in this land.

We need a joined up national policy-not just in the labor party but also in Atlasia

[Blair]

Shall we open up the votes on endorsements?

[Blair]

I'd be happy with them both being on the ballot

[Blair]

Bore/Nix

Talleyrand

Turkisblau

Come on conference, don't make me do a malaise speech
