The Structures of the Party

The Party is composed of:

  • the Membership, who form Consensus by decisions of Assembly and Party;
    • in turn composed of the Assemblies: being the Committees and Working Groups detailed in this constitution, as well as those formed ad-hoc by decisions of Consensus;
  • the Officers of the Party, being the Secretaries of the Working Groups and Committees, who are responsible for supporting the organisation of those bodies,
  • the Secretarial Committee, being composed of the Party Secretaries, who are also Officers of the Party, who aid in the execution of the decisions of Party Consensus, supporting the organisation and if necessary formation of the Working Groups and the Committees, and own the Company in Trust for the Membership and which shall be:
    • the general secretaries,
    • the Secretary of the Committee for Resolutions,
    • the Secretary of the Operational Working Group,
    • the Treasurer,
    • the Secretary for the Constituency Societies,
    • the Secretary of the Media Working Group,
    • the Secretary for the Constructive Activism Committee;
  • the affiliates of the Party, who may be any kind of organisation, club, company, cooperative, society, or indeed political party which agrees to the Ethical Kernel of the Party as a guiding principle (and therefore refutes hate). Affiliates of the party are not required to donate (though they are free to do so), but they do not have voting rights as organisations: they may (within limitations determined by the current recorded body of Ongoing Consensus, as recorded by the Operational Working Group, and published by the Media Working Group) however be invited to, and seek to be invited to, send representatives to speak at both Assembly and Party Consensus decisionmaking events.
