"An elected representative of the party must not vote for or compromise on any legislation that impinges on or compromises the rights stated here in this constitution."

That's a tough stance to take, what if there's legislation available that will better our position but still comprimizes on some of our stances?

"must not compromise" seems very vague. According to whom? or what if they do? - Pervach

"# The Executive Council may, by special resolution, overrule any decision of a subordinate body if the Executive Council deems that decision to be inconsistent with a decision of the Executive Council or the principles of the Party."

Why is a special resolution (2/3 vote) required to overrule a subordinate body? Shouldn't the executive council be able to do this with a majority vote?

is this about YPNZ? if so, 2/3 is good, they should have some level of independence. would be different for just some subcommittee. - Pervach

"1. An Officer will be one of the President, the Deputy President, the Party Secretary, the Deputy Party Secretary, the Treasurer, the Deputy Treasurer and the Party Agent."

Do we really need all these positions? I had understood that we would have President, Vice (Deputy) President, Secretary, Treasurer, and PR Officer.

Imo, the deputy secretary and treasurer are a bit excessive, but i guess it's just planning ahead and we don't have to fill those positions until we need them. I would also include regional presidents as officers too. - Pervach
