Please read this section, "The Ethical Kernel" of the Party Constitution, before progressing, as your submission of this form is assumed willingness to abide by the Kernel as a secretarial nominee and, if elected, secretary.
This document [the constitution] binds the Party and all forms of its Consensus in these ways:
firstly, all Consensus of Assemblies and all Party Consensus must seek to be
guided in all things first by compassion, then by the pursuit of justice, and never the
other way around, and
secondly, all Consensus of Assemblies and all Party Consensus must seek
never to take a decision which will result directly in unavoidable injury to a human
being, and must not, through inaction, allow human beings or humanity to come to
harm, and
thirdly, the Party must act transparently, so both the Membership and the
Public may understand its workings and purposes, and
fourthly, Party Officials must always act in accordance with the Consensus of
relevant Assemblies and Party Consensus, except where such action would conflict
with this Part, the “Ethical Kernel”.
The Party is founded upon principles elaborated from the proponents of socialism,
communism, and anarchism, and is in perpetuity socialist, and in perpetuity in support of
the principles of mutual aid, and the right to both a just value upon and a fair say with
regards one's own labour; we commit in perpetuity the Party to democracy by consensus
decision-making.
both Members and Officers of the Party must not:
engage in any behaviour that is anti-social, prejudicial, racist, sexist, ableist,
homophobic, transphobic, hateful, or which constitutes bullying or harassment, and
must further not engage in inducement or incitement towards any of the preceding.
Any such behaviour will be reviewed for harm by the Committee of Resolutions in
accordance with these articles and may result in expulsion from roles or the
Membership. If the Secretaries of Resolution rule in initial consideration that the
breach would be of high harm if true (which is not an indication of guilt itself), then
the Member will be suspended until the end of the investigation by the Party. Please
see the Annexe for specific guidance on disciplinary proceedings.
The entirety of this Part (Part 3) of the articles are hereby declared the only portion
of the Party to be utterly permanent, for as long as the Party exists, and any change
here that is not in addition not just to the letter but the spirit of the intentions of the
articles is to be assumed a dissolution of the Party. To be clear: no mechanism
exists for changing the Ethical Kernel, but mechanisms do exist for expanding its
scope and raising its bar.
Any living human individual may donate to the Party, but they may not donate more
than £500 per calendar year. Any individual who is found to pass money to another
individual to circumvent this limitation will be subject to expulsion after fair
application of the Party disciplinary process.
Organisations, societies, and corporations are ordinarily barred from donating to the
Party except with the express exceptional permission of the Membership as a result
of a Party Thing. Foreign organisations (being those which are not registered in the
Nation) are expressly forbidden from donating, as are individuals who are non-dom
status in relation to the Nation.
