Practise internal democracy before demanding it

The problem

Internal party democracy is widely acknowledged as weak, and parties calling for electoral reform rarely apply it to themselves.

Why it matters

A party that appoints its own leadership without a real process has no standing to demand better of anyone else.

Proposed solution

Publish our own internal leadership terms, the two-term limit, and organisational election records, and hold organisational elections with independent review.

How it would be implemented

Term limits are enforced in software on a position equivalence key, so renaming a post cannot reset the count. Term history is public.
