Michael Chong MP for Wellington—Halton Hills has introduced a private members bill story here.
If you wont to change our politics you must first change the political parties.
I sent Mr. Chong the following email.
I read with interest about your private members bill it mirrors what has been done in the provisional constitution of the Federalist party of Canada.
The National Assembly is the members of the party who’ve registered to vote in the Assembly. The National congress is the candidates for the House of Commons. I think you might be interested in the following articles from the constitution.
5.8 By a majority vote in the National Assembly and an absolute majority in the National Congress in regular session any member may be suspended or dismissed from the Federal Council. This can also dismiss or suspend the Leader or Deputy leader.
11.3 The Leader shall sign all nomination and Election Canada papers. Any refusal shall mean the automatic and immediate expulsion from the Party.
11.4 The House caucus shall consist of all Party members who are members of the House of Commons. The caucus by an absolute two-thirds majority vote can suspend an MP from caucus. The Senate caucus shall be the same as the House caucus with the two making the Parliament caucus.
11.5 The House leader shall be elected by a secret vote of the House caucus. The runner-up in such a vote becomes deputy House leader. These two officers are members of the Federal Council. The Party caucus in the Senate shall do the same.
12.3 Key resolutions need two third majorities to be passed in the National Assembly, National Congress, and the Federal council. Key resolutions are motioned in the National policy committee. These resolutions form the National Party Platform and are binding upon a Federalist government and all Federalist MPs. Each Federalist MP can vote as they choose in the House of Commons. They may vote against a key resolution without penalty a number of times in each Parliament equal to the number of times they have been elected to the Commons.
Thanks Barry.
