Apologies in advance, as there are a pile of threads already on this (most of them I read). However most of the existing threads are either regurgitation of the QR&O or personal opinion. Does anyone have a link that expands on / provides guidance on QR&O 19.44 with regards to member prohibitions?
7A to me reads a huge catch all and depends on your definition of "active".
Can I (Assuming all done out of uniform in a personal context)?
1. Join a political party
2. Donate money to a party.
3. Vote for party candidates or attend party meetings.
4. Volunteer in a campaign office.
5. Send a letter to my MP (Complicated by the fact that he’s also the MND)
7. No member of the Regular Force shall:
(a) take an active part in the affairs of a political organization or party;
(b) make a political speech to electors, or announce himself or allow himself to be announced as a candidate, or
(c) except with the permission of the Chief of the Defence Staff, accept an office in a municipal corporation or other local government body or allow himself to be nominated for election to such office.
8. No officer or non-commissioned member shall organize or take part in a political meeting on a defence establishment.
