@DemocraticBloc That will leave less than 7 days to closing time for nominations to Scottish Parliament elections. Looks like an English committee has blocked conference decision to stand candidates as punishment for voting to support Scottish independence and an open separate party to England.

🚨 BREAKING: CEC members are now banned from releasing their own meeting updates until the Chair has released theirs, which must come within 48 hours of the meeting. This is an unnecessary gagging of representatives that won their elections on their own promises of transparency.

@Porlocking @SocialistNIRE We don't really know who wrote the founding documents and therefore the officer role descriptions. This information has not been released and likely never will be, so your guess is as good as ours!

We support this letter requesting an explanation to why the following wording was removed from the Membership Officer description - “To engage with diverse communities, including BAME groups and underrepresented members, to ensure inclusive participation in party activities.” 1/2

@Porlocking @SocialistNIRE The motion that was voted down also encouraged use of a more contemporary and inclusive terminology.

If true, this is concerning. Conference voted for collective leadership by an elected CEC, not a subset of that CEC. The Officers' Group taking control of all these matters puts oversight of the entire party into the hands of 7 people - less than a third of the elected CEC.
Ewan Cameron@gaoblai

What I'm hearing from the YP CEC meeting is that the TM group have created an officer group within the CEC, which will essentially run everything. Other CEC members won't get to oversee things like finance and disciplinary issues. Members wanted collective leadership.

The CEC results do not resolve many of the tensions that exist within the Your Party project. We urge both The Many and The Grassroots Slate to work together to build a party that is serious about transforming the country and empowering our class.
