We haven't even decided it to be our name yet, I don't think. Wink Let's not get too excited...

On the subject, I would like to make a motion to change our party name to the "National Action Party".

Too close to Canadian Action Party, which is a social credit/911 conspiracy party.

Slapping a new name on an old product will somehow make all your problems go away? Good luck with that, guys. I feel a "wolf in sheep's clothing" rant coming up.

There is no good reason to change our party's name, especially for something so invertebrate and antipodean as the Liberal Conservative Party.

I'll try. Atleast its not Progressive Conservative like what Hamilton wanted originally.

By the way, if you are still in the party, Welcome back. Hamilton doesn't speak for all of us. Wink

Its ironic but I actually predicited that this would happen on the private forums if we changed our name.

I have growing respect for you, Tmth. You're a good guy, and we've talked about the problems in the RPP before. But when I mentioned to you that the RPP needs to be fixed, I didn't mean putting a new name on yourselves.

It just feels like you're hoping a name change to something more nice-sounding and new will give you guys a blank slate.

Progressive Conservative is totally ironic and a misnomer as most Canadians like to point out.

You're feeling wrong. Wink I think it is mainly because a lot of people aren't too crazy about our current name, and want something different to represent us. I'm on the fence between the two most popular, which is the RPP and LCP, because I'm not a huge fan of either.

Name changes are really just that. I will respect a new label as long as the milk in the bottle isn't the same...

EDIT: I can't remember if the old National Liberals were a name change from the party that came before..

If this is a RL historical question, then no. Although, confusingly, there was a totally unrelated National Liberal party a few years earlier... which was just a name change (from Coalition Liberals).

A name change also represents a change in outlook and perspective. I am at the understanding that the RPP wishes to rebrand itself to acknowledge a new era in Atlasian politics

It would be idiotic to repudiate the great heritage of the Regional Protection Party for such an inane caprice. If we change our name to Liberal Conservative Party our only new "outlook and perspective" will be contradiction, vacuity, and spinelessness. Why don't we become the Progressive Reactionary Party or some other meaningless oxymoron?

No. A name change that better represents shows we have enough of a spine to stand up to the old in order to move forward with the new.

Oh quit the platitudes. The only thing a new name as pathetic as the one proposed would signify is appeasement of the RPP's opponents.
