Unconstitutional Status of the Acting Party Secretary

Nicole Sinclaire recently posted an item to an internet discussion group in which she stated: "my term did not begin until 27th October 2003. Therefore, I have not served 3 years. I am voluntarily standing for election next year."

This is completely untrue, of course, and here is why.

1 The judge in the Sinclaire case made quite clear in late October 2003 that he was "re-instating her on the basis of the election of 2001 and that her term expires in February 2004". He was clear about this.

2 And of course, the killer point is this, and it's a quote from the November NEC minutes:

"Nikki Sinclaire stated that...Her three-year term expires in February 2004. It would therefore be reasonable to extend her term to February 2005. JdR [John de Roeck] questioned whether it would be valid to extend NS's term this way. Andy Moore proposed that Nikki Sinclaire's tenure be extended to February 2005, seconded Mike Nattrass".

That's it. Absolutely clear. The NEC voted to extend her term. And of course she is therefore now unconstitutionally on the NEC because she cannot just be voted on for another year by the NEC.

More startling developments regarding the veracity of statements made by the new acting Party Secretary are being brought to our attention and will be blogged when confirmed.
