I've decided to resign from the RA effective immediately. I have written to Claude, as Dean of the SC, to inform him of my decision.
It has become clear since the recent elections that there's a minority in the RA that is determined to prevent me from chairing meetings as LRA. I have not always responded well to the challenges of chairing meetings under these circumstances and I apologise to the CDS community for my faults in this regard.
After careful reflection and a majority vote at its March 5 meeting, the Citizens Social Democratic Faction (CSDF) has decided to resign its seats in the Representative Assembly. Between now and the next general election, the CSDF will review and refine its mission, goals and activities, to more fully serve the CDS in the future. We will continue our weekly meetings, most of which will be announced and open to the public, and look forward to working with all CDS citizens on the issues that concern us all.
