The Membership shall lead the Party by way of consensus, and the structure of the Party defined in this constitution shall lay out the means by which consensus of the Membership is obtained.
Members shall pay a subscription fee, the lowest possible extent of which is to be determined by the Treasury Working Group, but which shall never be greater than a reasonable percentage more than the cost of taking the fee, and, should the cost be zero, the lowest subscription shall be nought pounds and one pence. If no specific minimum fee is set, it will default to £2 per quarter or £8 per year. This article should and can freely be edited whenever the Financial Working Group modifies the minimum fee, but only the values of the minimum fee.
Fifty percent of the subscription fee (after any incurred fees) shall be allocated to the Political Fund, and fifty percent to the Cytgord Cymru Mutual Aid Fund. Should the member paying the subscription be from a constituency with a constituency assembly, the 50% going to the Political Fund will be divided equally between the national fund and the constituency assembly provided that the assembly has elected as secretary and appointed a treasurer.
Members are asked to sustain and promote the decisions of Party Consensus, but the principle of reasonable free speech pertains, and they must not be abridged by the Party or Party Officials in any way.
Membership of the Party is broadly incompatible with membership of or affiliation with other political parties, but it is not prohibited by the Party. However, members of other political parties may not hold Office in the Party, and are barred from candidacy under the Party banner. It is noted for clarity that most other political parties do not allow co-membership.
Members may only be individuals; only individuals may be Members. Organisations and societies are not viewed as individuals for the purpose of Party Membership - they are forbidden to join. Their own members, however, are free to join as individuals.
The Party may, by Consensus, elect to prevent members of certain organisations from joining the Party
- if those organisations are believed by Party Consensus to be formed for the purpose of spreading hate or violence, regardless of the nature of that hate;
- observed to be repeatedly hostile to the Party, rendering cross-party cooperation impractical until de-escalation has occurred;
either the Secretarial Committee or the Committee of Resolutions may trigger a Party Thing to determine whether an organisation should be proscribed under this constitution, on the above bases alone.
