Due to the critical nature of the situation, I am abbreviating voting to one more hour, at which point if there are no objections I shall deign an assumption of unanimity is in order.

The Whig Party is Atlasia's main conservative party, broadbased but generally identified as center-right. The cornerstone of the Whig Party is, of course, communitarianism. This is interpreted as placing a high importance of the family and the community, a belief in strengthening social capital and social institutions, and voluntary co-operation for mutual benefit within a free-market structure. To that extent, the Whig Party is decidedly pro-free-markets and economically liberal, but also that the government is not the arbiter nor origin of economic growth, but rather a force than can and should be used to assisted the marketplace in its growth, in the interests of communities and the nation.

The Whig Party is also socially conservative, adopting much of the platform of the Right to Life Caucus. Its foreign policy platform is multilateralist but supportive of a robust and proactive defense programme.

Vice Chairman is hereby removed from office.

Who shall run for Vice Chairman?

[Simfan34]

I'll wait until Friday, as I'm leaving the country in August so I'd like to get this done with quickly. If no one else stands, by then, I'll put you on the ballot, Clarence, but if you'd like to run anyway I would appreciate it if you'd let me know. 

[Simfan34]

I hereby declare Clarence has won the position of Party Vice Chairman by acclamation.

I plan to open our convention on Monday.
