6 A quorum of 51% of party members may summon an investigation within the party of any suspect activity which must be accepted by the ethics committee. Once investigated by the ethics committe all the party members vote for or against the expulsion of the involved members. This applies to any level from Presidency to a simple affiliate. The process is managed via the party's website.

I see these as the fundamental absolute requirements that must be in the statute.

Resistance to these measure by any founder is a clear indication of second intentions and personal agendas and inclinations towards corrupt motives.

My participation in the party is conditioned to following these principles explicitly state in the founding statute.
