Closed petition Political parties must have a membership and a democratically elected leader.

Transparency and accountability in the democratic process should be enforced at every level in politics. A CEO of a limited company is not accountable to voters.
Therefore, a CEO should not be a leader of a registered political party unless democratically selected in a party conference by the party members.
