Yes, we're back, and this time its personal!!

I've been concerned at the extent to which the left fractured in the last election, and continues to be in disarray in the post-mortem from that event. Many on the left share my concerns.

For this reason, myself and ILikeVerin have decided to form the Progressive Caucus, based very much on the values that the Progressive Party once stood for. We will fight for Social Justice and for a Progressive Social agenda.

We don't wish to replace the party system, because we feel the scenery is already flooded with parties, instead, we hope to be a forum in which the various parties can come together and put our differences aside to work in the best interest.

The Chairman of the Caucus will be ILikeVerin from now until we are able to hold a convention, most likely, in the New Year.

So whatever your party, you are welcome to join and hopefully together, we can make a difference. Please use this thread to join, to pass comment, and if you must, to throw rotten vegetables.

I'll join, but I can still be a Democrat, right?

Indeed you can.

For all Progressives, and anybody else really, I have re-established the Progressive Forums, which have been suitably redecorated to our new needs.

I'm expressing interest, but wheather I will leave the UL for this party... I don't know.

Siege

Its not a party, its a caucus; You don't have to leave the United Left, or any other political organisation that you might presently be a member of. Basically its a bit like the ACLU, except in support of progressive social values.

Given recent events, I am going to insist that people register on the forums to take part in the Convention so as to stop any double registrations. I'm sorry it has to be like that, but it does. Guests will still be able to view the convention.

Did we vote on a chairman or vice chairman? this is going to be in AIM chatroom or progressive boards?

The Convention will be held on the Progressive Forums (linked above).

ILV is interim-Chairman until the Convention next week; I'm not even sure what the caucus leadership arrangements will be after that.

The Convention has now started and presently we are discussing the rather tedious subject of caucus rules, but I promise we will get on to the juicy subject of electing a leadership soon.

Welcome to everybody that I haven't welcomed yet.

We'll work that out when we finally organise ourselves. Socially progressive stuff though.

Presently the only candidates for the leadership positions are myself and Lewis.
