My role as delegate

Conference is where you shape the
future of your party.

The three day event is the largest gathering of our
members, officers, committees, leader and founders
at any one time.

As well as workshops and talks, conference is also
about important party business which shapes our direction.

To ensure you are able to make the most of your role as delegate,
we've broken down each element of party business that will take place at conference.

Conference is the supreme governing body of the party,
it is responsible for policy-making and decision-making.
This is where any changes or additions to the party’s constitution
happen, and where we debate and choose party policies.

For the rules that govern proceedings of our
party conferences, see the Standing Orders.

1. PROPOSING MOTIONS AND AMENDMENTS

As a member, you have the opportunity to propose a motion
with your branch or with the support of nineteen other members.
Once motions are posted, all members will then be given
the chance to submit amendments.

Whether or not you submit a motion, you will
can part in the process at conference through
debating the motion and voting.
For this reason, delegates should read through
motions in advance of conference.
