Michael Lavalette - Respect Conference 2007 -2

2008-06-16T15:38:40Z

Michael Lavalette moves constitutional ammendment (motion 53. Michael explained that in the last few years the NC had been elected by a slate system. Alternative slates could be presented to conference. This method was used to ensure a balance of geographical location, gender, and ethnicity. Unease about the slate system had been expressed in the past and discussion was held by the NC. It was decided to propose using the eSTV system, which is the current recommendation of the Electoral Reform Commission.

The post of a National Organiser had been proposed at a previous NC and was passed unanimously at the last NC. The National Organiser would be part of the National Officers group, along with the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. They would hold weekly meetings and report to the NC and conference. The decision had been made two days before the expected announcement of a general election. The following day Brown said there would be no election before 2009 so the pressure to appoint the National Organiser became less urgent.

The CAC proposed that the 3 posts of National Organiser, National Secretary and Chair be directly elected at conference and that the post holders would be accountable to conference. The National Council would be elected by a single transferable vote.

This was unanimously agreed.

Amina Mangera, Greenwich and Lewisham
Amina described herself as an independent socialist. She is concerned that both sides are behaving badly and that public emails don't help. She expressed concern that the result will be the election of BNP candidates to the GLA. She said there is not a left / right split in Respect, and most branches don't want a split. She is worried they are not being listened to.

Andy North, South Birmingham said that any of us can get campaigns going, we don't need to be a councillor. One teacher in a Birmingham school threatened with academy status has started a vibrant campaign.

Suzanne Jeffrey, Islington said that climate change is the big issue. We can see in the cyclone in Bangladesh yesterday that the poorest suffer the most. She said that we must build 8th December Climate Change demonstration. We must move away from the establishment mantra of blaming the individual, responsibility must be collective.
