Re: Meeting Speaker Proposal

Richard!

> We should also ask for a speaker from Labour and the Democrats ...

That is a good point but I was attempting to avoid this particular
meeting becoming a political discussion point, hence I chose to invite
the Hon. Dr. Armitage in his capacity of Minister of the Crown, not
member of the Liberal party.

On the other hand, what you have suggested is also an excellent idea;
for once I can equally support both ideas but will say that getting a
spokesman for all three parties at the same meeting, on a set date could
be a timetabling nightmare. However, the wonderful thing about not
having a committee is that once a decision to do something is made we
can duck for cover and stare aimlessly in Geoffrey's general direction
;-P

Mind you, I'd be willing to attempt to coordinate something if that's
what people wanted.

> We will also have to ensure that the meeting is well attended!

Yes.
