Page status designation

Support levels

Propositions as represented in these pages may be put to the members to establish their level of support. In that case the positions of all voting members of the Party are taken into consideration, including those who do not vote.  The level of support a member has for a specific page or proposition may be

Support	Full support	Unqualified support	Fully agrees with it, without qualification or reservation.
		Full support with reservations	Supports it fully, and disagrees with none of it, though may consider it capable of improvement in some significant respects.
	Acceptance	Partial support	Disagrees with some aspects of it, but nevertheless considers it to be on balance acceptable.
		Implicit partial support	Did not vote and is therefore assumed not to oppose.
Opposed			Disagrees enough to wish to oppose it in total.

Page status

On that basis, the designated status of a page or proposition may be

		Min Full support	Max Opposed
	Disapproved	Nil	100%
	Fringe view	5%	90%
	View	30%	65%
	Policy statement	65%	30%
	Firm policy	80%	15%
	Constitutional	95%	5%

Note that the status “Disapproved” potentially indicates that nobody, not even the author, is committed to giving the proposition even partial support.
