I think we need to think more carefully about access to conference - in this day and age if we can't hold them out of school terms then at least we ought to be able to allow members to have a virtual vote.Linda Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155438246679688058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22057922.post-60065692497459549042009-06-18T23:09:35.453+01:002009-06-18T23:09:35.453+01:00It could also be one of our weaknesses that the wh...It could also be one of our weaknesses that the whole policy debate can be hijacked by those who are in jobs that allow them to attend a summer conference whilst those of us who can't attend in September are saddled with policy that we may not support and cannot do anything about.<br /><br />I am not saying it is wrong, but just playing devils advocate, this point could be argued.Nich Starlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237390959601973501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22057922.post-24464744828884172032009-06-17T16:33:21.494+01:002009-06-17T16:33:21.494+01:00really pleased that Nick said what he did.

I would like the decision to be on principle rather than based purely on money (although money matters obviously!)Paula Keaveneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814842819611094232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22057922.post-33550259269867861722009-06-17T09:16:17.998+01:002009-06-17T09:16:17.998+01:00It shows great strength for Nick to say on TV news...It shows great strength for Nick to say on TV news (when asked about his position during the last LD leadership election) 'I changed my mind'.<br /><br />A thinking leader is a good thing.<br /><br />But as Lindy says it is Conference that sets out the boundaries of party policy. Despite the demands of the press for a leadership dictatorship in each party. We need a motion at next Federal Conference for sure. <br /><br />Apart from anything else our defence spokespeople need a chance to evaluate their briefs in the light of these developments, taking Conference findings into account.<br /><br />If those of us who agree with this shift give the leadership a pass on this can we complain if Nick makes a 'hard choice' in another area which causes more internal costernation and makes that 'choice' LD policy by default.Edishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852931736127760026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22057922.post-54392289890920484692009-06-17T08:40:38.427+01:002009-06-17T08:40:38.427+01:00I too am over the moon, but I am concerned of the ...I too am over the moon, but I am concerned of the lack of regard shown to FPC and Conference when this 'off the hoof' policy decision is made!Susan Gaszczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235065985749114626noreply@blogger.com
