As we have seen over the last couple of months culminating in Theresa Mays Salzburg debacle, leadership of the party has truly gone off the reservation. Theresa may has consistently ignored the views of the grassroots party & her own MPs, prefering to listen to the advise of a senior Civil Servant Olli Robbins. We want our Party back. Below I have outlined some ideas for a new equitable party structure, please feel free to chip in with sensible ideas.
- The Leader shall be elected by one member one vote and be subject to recall if 10% of the members call for that. The Leader shall automatically come up for re election every five years or at the point of a General Election if earlier.
- The Chairman of the Party, shall be an elected position by One Member One Vote on a five year re-election cycle.
- The Party shall have a governing board with the following members, Central Office should serve the members not the other way round.
- Scottish Region
- North West Region
- North East Region
- Midlands Region
- South West Region
- South East Region
- London
- Young Conservatives
- Finance
- Disputes
1 – 7 shall be elected Regionally by One Member One Vote
8 by the Youth Organisation
9 & 10 Nationally by One Member One Vote
Policy shall be decided by the National board with opportunities for grassroots members to influence policy. The National board shall identify members who have experience in various disciplines and create working groups for such.
All local chairpersons should be elected by the local members & report to their regional board member.
All those standing for election should be local i.e. have lived within 10 miles of their prospective constituency for at least ten years
There should be an open register of donations over £1000 and all donation should be by individuals not corporate identities.
