In line with the democratic principals of the Party there are ten vacancies up for election to the National Executive Council (NEC)
The NEC has final say and responsibility for national election strategy, campaigns, the website, social media, accounts, and the day to day say on how the Party is run. The NEC has the power to devolve roles and responsibility to non-NEC members to carry out roles and invite experts to NEC meetings to put forward ideas. The Party operates a committee structure and the Chairman is elected from the NEC, who are in turn elected by Party members.
