Politburo

The Politburo is the executive committee of the Libertine Party. It manages the affairs of the Party, with its members running it day-to-day, as well as providing oversight to the Party's various subordinate and affiliated organizations. The head of the Politburo is the Party Secretary, a position always held by the Princess. For most of the Party's operations, the Deputy Party Secretary leads the Politburo in the Party Secretary's stead.

Composition

The Politburo consists of the Party Secretary, the Deputy Party Secretary, and the heads of the various Party branches.

Politburo Elections and Naming

All members of the Politburo, except the Party Secretary and the Deputy Party Secretary, are elected at the close of each Libertine Congress, and serve terms lasting from one congress to the next. Should there be a vacancy in membership, perhaps due to a resignation or expulsion from the Party, the Party Secretary has the power to make temporary appointments.

For administrative purposes where it is necessary to note the specific composition of the Politburo at a given moment in time, a numbered prefix is used for differentiation, with the number being that of the Libertine Congress that elected its members. As there have yet to be any Libertine Congresses, the current Politburo is styled the 0th Politburo.

Politburo Directives

The Politburo may issue directives establishing Party policy or setting a course of action or official opinion on a given subject, so long as the content of the directive doesn't conflict with the Party's constitution or bylaws, or advocate the violation of Fortressian law.
