Charter for a Democratic Conference |
|
|
|
Sunday, 14 April 2013 |
Charter for a Democratic Conference 1. At least 50% of conference time should be reserved for contributions in policy debates by delegates · At last years conference, time was allocated as follows: Platform speeches (including Leader’s Q&A & US Professor) 50%, sofa panels 8%, Delegates (moving motions & debate) 18%, awards/obits 4%, conference arrangements/voting/admin 4%, Policy Forum seminars 16%. · The balance between PR exercises and the opportunity for debate and decision-making is wrong - showcasing PPCs does not have to happen at the conference rostrum. · Conference doesn’t have to be entirely in public – some sessions could be members only without press. · Delegates contributions matter most and are given least time – the fringe is the right place for panel discussions and videos. · CLPs have voted with their feet – 1 in 4 CLPs absent in spite of free passes – using the full weekend would improve attendance. · Speakers should be randomly chosen by the Chair, subject to ensuring balance of CLP/union and gender. |

Report of the NEC meeting held on 19th March 2013 at 1 Brewers Green. There was a great deal of chopping and changing with the agenda, as we were visited by Ed Balls and Jon Cruddas as well as Mr Miliband giving the usual Leader’s Report, and they were all available at different times. However, the meeting was dominated by discussion of the following day’s budget, and by the National Policy Forum/Policy Review reports. Shadow Chancellor’s Report Mr Balls was much better than last year; the words “too far, too fast” never crossed his lips. He said that Osborne is downplaying expectations after last year’s “omnishambles” Budget. Commitments to develop infrastructure have not been carried out, and the £7million pledged for childcare doesn’t begin to cover the £7 billion which has been cut so far. He had warned that the Tories’ plan wouldn’t work, and it hasn’t. Only Italy and Japan have had lower growth than us, and we’ll pay a long term price with youth unemployment so high. In response to NEC members asking about commitments to a mansion tax and the restoration of the 10p tax rate, neither of which have been through the NPF process, and calls to repeal the bedroom tax, Mr Balls replied that we couldn’t make commitments that we can’t deliver, and won’t be making manifesto commitments now, two and a half years from the General Election. This was a theme to which we returned with Mr Miliband. |
