What I didn't know was that there was a qualification check for local level delegates. Does this qualification check occur multiple times as someone goes up the chain? It seems useful to have in place to ensure someone isn't just charismatic and able to get voted up based on popularity.

Do we support restrictions on who people can vote for? I thought we usually regarded that as a bad thing.

I don't see a problem with examinations existing for competency. Without it how do you ensure that the committees are elevating people based on merit?

I don't see it as a restriction on who you can vote for, you can vote for anyone on the committee but they need to be studious enough to pass the qualification check which I assume is like an exam?

Don't give me that. Ultimately the entire thing is meant to restrict candidates to a whitelist, the only question is whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. Saying you can vote for anyone who made the whitelist and therefore the vote is not restricted is silly question-begging and it's below you.

Huh? No? If you have the capability to pass the test you're not being restricted to a whitelist? It's a test, with pass and failure thresholds. Anyone can study to pass a test, particularly if there's no limit to the number of times you can fail it.

The party has an entrance exam to join as a standard member at the lowest level, why wouldn't you have further exams for the more advance levels?
