Why a political party is handing you this

Because the Constitution is the document you would use against us. Article 19 protects your right to criticise this party. Article 32 is how you enforce a right when any government, including one we might one day form, ignores it. A party that wanted deference would not put that in your hands.

Our own party constitution is a separate document, and a lesser one, it binds us, not you.
