In a recent pilot of this process Ontario ridings were able to vote on the resolutions that LPCO was going to put forward (10 were chosen from some 50+ that had been submitted). In that case 6 members, chosen at the discretion of the riding (they could do it democratically or not, it was their choice, though most ridings only had 6 or less members signed up for En Famille) from each riding were able to vote.<BR/><BR/>At the LPCO Executive meetings recently it was recommended that the President and Policy Chair be allowed to vote, or allow just one vote per riding but not restrict it to the president. Otherwise, there was no desire to attain full suffrage of members since that would give active ridings dominance over ridings with less members.<BR/><BR/>I'm the Policy Chair for a Toronto Riding and you're welcome to get involved with us. You shouldn't have problems linking in to your own riding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-72575097963522171702009-02-26T12:01:00.000-05:002009-02-26T12:01:00.000-05:00Also worrisome is that policy had to be submitted ...Also worrisome is that policy had to be submitted by august 30th, 2008.<BR/><BR/>Two major things happened since then.<BR/><BR/>There was an election.<BR/><BR/>The economy hit the tank.<BR/><BR/>I feel like Liberal policy will feel a little dated.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018582124108708061noreply@blogger.com
