A call for Edinburgh Greens to democratize our budget
Motion text
This motion instructs the Edinbrugh Green Party to trial a Members Participatory
Budget, where part of the branches yearly budget would be spent on projects
decided on by a vote of all the parties members.
Reason
Edinburgh Branch constitution enforces the existance of a cash reserve which would cover between one and two year of operating costs, in recent years the cash reserves far exceed this requirement. While financial prudence is a virtue, a large cash reserve is not gaining us new members and voters and doesn't spread our Green message. This motion aims to change our culture and make us braver in making financial decisons.
