General Secretary of the Workers' Solidarity Movement

The General Secretary is the leader of the Workers' Solidarity Movement, a political party in Rutania.

The General Secretary serves as the head of the party's main organisational body, the Movement Co-ordination Committee (MCC). The General Secretary is usually also the party's Parliamentary Leader or Presidential candidate.

The current General Secretary is Frank McConnell, who has held the post since September 3471. The long-serving General Secretary was the party's founder, Ben Brennan, who held the post for 37 years.

Election
Election of the General Secretary takes place in three stages. First, the Movement Co-ordination Committee votes. After the results of this vote are announced, the entire membership of the party are balloted. The results of these two votes are combined, with the membership vote weighted two-thirds and the MCC vote weighted one-third. If a candidate has over 50% of the combined vote, he or she is elected. Otherwise, there is an additional ballot of the MCC. The vote is combined with the vote of the party membership in the same way as before, but replacing the result of the previous MCC vote with the new results.
