Telegram story demonstrates Liberals don't know own Party Constitution

Telegram Story "Cabana throws in with the Liberals"

 Below is an excerpt from the story - I have underlined certain areas for emphasis.

Liberal party president Judy Morrow said Cabana called her Sunday night to say he was interested in getting involved in the party.
“We have no membership in the party; we’re an open and democratic party and anyone is free to seek a nomination or to partake in provincial party activities,” Morrow said.
She said Cabana is welcome to get involved, but as party president she has to stay impartial on who is nominated to carry the Liberal banner into the election.
“My role is to insure that we have a fair process in place,” Morrow said. “I think that that’s indicative of what didn’t go on in the PC party in the last little while.”
Liberal MHA and acting Opposition Leader Kelvin Parsons also said the party is open to anyone who wants to get involved.
“It’s not complicated, I mean, we have an open door policy,” he said. “I would encourage anyone who wants to run for the Liberal party, don’t wait for September or October to do it.”


Now please go HERE and view the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador - see under bylaws.
