The Conservative Party
needs a constitution, which would make those that run the Party democratically
accountable to the membership. The
officers of the Party would be elected and those elected officers would control
Conservative Central Office. Members of
the Party feel that they should have a say in the way in which the Party
works. Until this happens the Party
will continue to decline.
The Labour Party also needs to become genuinely
democratic. It cannot be right that a
National Political party should be so dependent on the vested interests of a
particular group – the Trade Unions.
The Unions continue effectively to govern the Labour
Party or more accurately the Trade Union bosses continue to run the Labour
Party.
All political Parties should have elected Chairman and Treasurer
answerable to their membership.
All
political Parties should have an Annual General Meeting to which their members
are invited and entitled to vote at which the Parties accounts are presented
and voted upon and the officers of the Party are elected.
