1. The Name
The name is the Vancouver Classic Liberal Association and in some aspects may be a the BC Individualist Party as such a the provincial party with possibility of Federal. The logo, domain, and names are the intellectual property of the Founder, Gölök ZLF Buday.
2. The Function and System Run Down.
To nominate Municipal Candidates who promote Liberty and aide in their campaigns by offering the much needed branding in our society. It also may nominate a Vancouver Candidates under the BC Individualist Party. It, The BC Individualist Party (Registered when enough members come to be, and volunteering auditor.), will join up other Municipal Parties and Possibly VILA type regional parties as affiliates and file their memberships with the Provincial on separate file, although we currently Recommend Federal and Provincial Libertarian Parties. Always welcome to leave and control the rules and acceptance of their local movement. If the central party takes issue, then it will just be removed. We limit infiltration on a central level, since the founder has total veto powers, as recommended for affiliates. Most powers like Candidate nominations are local and grass rooted, this is merely designed to unite libertarians/classic liberals on a local level.

Members.

c) President – To attend and mediate meetings, AGMs and only break a tied vote on matters.

e) Council Present and Vote on Constitutional Amendments that must be agreed with Founder, President and VP. Also tie break on policy for council campaigns and mediate meetings if President isn’t available.
f) Mayoral Candidate: Will have his own platform and is running for an independent branch from council (President of Council).
g) Council Candidate: Presuming membership is great enough apply this. Each member will represent a municipal ward. A advocate district also will have one each. They will pick a Caucus Leader (as Candidates) to be a City Wide Representative and Debater and Media voice for Council Candidates, will also be Party choice as Deputy Mayor so long as it’s appointed by Council.
h) i) Members – Must live in Vancouver City Limits. The ultimate authority in their Wards of whom gets nominated to council (6 Local Zones, 4 Regional advocates) N East, S East, N West, and S West would be Regions. 2020 Wards 1. Hastings Sunrise 2. Grandwiew-Woodlands 3. Kingsway and Kensignton BC Ridings 4. West End 5. West Side 6. False Creek/Olympic Village.
The Internal Ward Policy has a solid benefit of effectively targeting communities and spreading the word.
The policy would be to dissolve School and Park Boards and make it all city business to further privatization that best reflects municipal goals so no Candidates will be ran in those preferably, however while it exists it’s possible. As long as Schools are not fully privatized and voucher choice exists, it will be Mayor, Council and PTAs electing people to School Principles in remaining state schools, as an ideal system (independents).
Boundaries will be divided the best possible by the founder: 6th of the last voting population would be a ward, and 4 Advocate Regions by 4 of last voting population. A map of this will be easier to set up when we reach 100 members and nominating is possible. If a constituency area would not have a min of 5 members, the founder may have to approve the Candidate or delegate to a President.
Could say a Ward membership is an election committee for electing councilors that can reflect a local liberty movement(s). At a nomination meeting for any jurisdiction, members will go to their respective riding pools and vote on a Candidate to present to the party. When the founder is not running for Mayor, another one may win nomination by winning a majority of all 10 council and advocate areas. As would a Advocate debate and Council debate leader. EBC’s site info.
ii) Who can be a Candidate: Someone who is 18+ and lived in Vancouver for more than 6 months. Party can not nominate until reaching 100 members but can show support in manner of 3rd Party endorsement of an Independent. As viewed by the Ward Chapter(s).
Who can be a Provincial Candidate. When reaching a large enough membership will Endorse-Nominate BCIP Vancouver Wide. If 75 members in a riding are not there (who can sign nomination papers) then an Independent must run.
iii) VCLA Candidate the Party needs 100 members to Endorse. No donations will be collected till when we have the required memberships for the jurisdiction, weather Municipal, Provincial or Federal campaigns (latter would require registration and Auditor; Municipal just a Financial Agent).
iv) Member Declaration: 1st time members, no charge, just need a sign declaration to Total Free Speech, Personal Property and Defense Rights, Right to be a Candidate where you live with a past record of min 100 votes in a previous Election, Right to Refuse Medical Treatment, to oppose police brutality and presumption of guilt, and smaller Government with a goal of no or little-to-no Government. At least the first 100 members of the VCLA/BCIP. When you become a declared member you also agree that all rights are for the individual, not collectives. After 100 members are reached, I (the Founder) will file papers and start taking tax deductible donations/member fees no greater than 5 bucks/year or 50/life. One can always offer non-deductible donations any time when hitting 100 members. A succor is always welcomed. Sadly each jurisdiction will require different finance and different accounts until laws adjust.
v) BCIP Leader will be selected by winning a majority vote in most affiliate local parties. (currently not an issue, we support the BC Libertarian Party now).
vi) Send your name, address, e-mail, possibly social media addresses/websites, phone, and write out and sign the declaration via snail mail to VCLA c/o 203-29 Templeton Dr, City of Vancouver, V5L 4M9.
Simply copy and paste the declaration to a text file and print it, and sign it. With the above personal information.
5. Platforms…
No platforms will disregard the member declaration issues.
No platform will support instigation of aggression.
All platforms are encouraged to be Federalist-Republican (anti-monarchist with constitutional protections of individual liberty)
Preferably ask the question what has Government done for you, vs what it does to you. Or are you getting your money’s worth?
6. Member Local Party with BCIP, will allow members to vote to join forces and memberships, and accept the Member Declaration. All else is up to them. (currently endorsing BC Libertarian Party, so currently void, join separately).
