If Ever There Was A Time When the Liberal National Executive Should Mass Resign, It's NOW!!!

Here's Why! Direct Violation of Constitutional Section 54.3.b. Regardless of whether or not there is a "Special Convention", the Executive had to set out a Leadership vote for October, 2011. That includes all the rules for said leadership. Arrogance and stupidity are the only two logical explanations for this blatant disregard for our constitution. I suggest all of you email every one of the executive asking for their resignations.

On a recent conference call of the Council of Presidents, even Alf Apps said he "must call leadership by May 30th". I guess good ole Alf thinks the Special Convention amendments will be passed on June 18th and the rest of the constitution can just be ignored. Maybe he knows something we don't.
