Dr. Thomas Sutherland Presidential Campaign Launch

Dr. Sutherland holds a campaign launch rally in Talasor

Taylor von Louis (News Anchor): Good afternoon and welcome to the Taylor Angle. I'm your host Taylor von Louis. Chairman of the Conservative Party of Mordusia and Presidential hopeful, Dr. Thomas Sutherland, plane just landed at the airport in the nation's capitol. The media, citizens and civilians are in a frenzy to catch a sneak peek at what is to come for the future of this nation as it comes down to who to elect for President in November of 4601. Our reporter is live on the ground at the campaign launch rally. How ya doin' Lucien? How's the energy there?

Lucien (Reporter): "Ah I'm super pumped Taylor. There is something about the energy here that makes your adrenaline rush. People are pouring in from all over the country just to catch a glimpse to the new political party. What a joyous occasion we have here and I'm telling you now, it can only get better from here. I have here with me John Rogers and his family. John, tell me why you're here.

John Rogers (Civilian Interviewee): Ya know, my family has been in this country for many years and I can tell you, the energy around a political party hasn't been this encompassing since NRP came to town. I watched Dr. Sutherland's interview with you months ago and I was hooked automatically.

Lucien (Reporter): What has you hooked onto Dr. Sutherland and CRM?

John Rogers (Civilian Interviewee): When he talked about getting rid of the test for natural born citizens to become actual citizens. And...and...and he acted upon those words. I'll say he's a standup guy because I can't vote even though I was born here. I couldn't pass that. Not with my 3rd grade education nor could I afford it for me or my family. He's the real deal.

Lucien (Reporter): Thanks John, always a pleasure.

Taylor von Louis (News Anchor): Now Lucien, before Dr. Sutherland comes on, can you quickly go over the polls with me and what do they entail for the future of our country.

Lucien (Reporter): Look Taylor, while the energy is high, the polls show that the NRP has a tight grip of influence around the nation which gives them the advantage. This leaves the CPM chances of success for a majority in the National Assembly and the Presidency very slim. The party would be lucky to even win a handful of seats. Look at the numbers. The NRP stands at 93% to the CPM 7% and that's not counting any undecided voters. Now, polls doesn't show the whole picture, however...

Taylor von Louis (News Anchor): Hold that thought Lucien. Dr. Sutherland is coming out the tunnel now. (30 seconds later) Alright guys, Presidential hopeful, Dr. Thomas Sutherland.


Dr. Thomas Sutherland: Thank you, thank you! Look at this crowd. It huge! I love it! It is such an honor to be here today in the nation's capital with such a huge turnout. Let me tell ya, this is like no other. We have here people from all over the country, people from my party, my family and it is truly an honor.

Right now, we have a President who is unwilling to follow basic human decency to his own people. We have a party who believe its their duty to force their ideology on everyone else. We have a government who is unwilling to call each civilian here a citizen unless they take a test of citizenship. That is barbaric. Truth be told, I have a party that is on the same side as the NRP, however, I believe that we should not govern by our own morals but by the constitution that we swore an oath to protect and defend. As my party fights to change that law by introducing a bill in the National Assembly, the NRP sits quietly on their hands and does nothing. You are not defined a citizen because of a test. NO, if you were born here in Mordusia, you are a natural born citizen! Only those born here should render the title of citizen. We are all citizens and I want to be there when we pass a law making you all citizens without having to take a test.

I've been in economics my whole life. I've sat on many corporate boards, government boards, and even the Finance Ministry's office. I have first hand experience of how to create jobs. I know because I've created thousands of jobs in my lifetime. I know that you all want to keep most of what you earn instead of giving it up to the government. Your money is yours. It should be illegal for the government to increase taxes for government welfare programs. Yeah there are many sides to the economic debate, but only one economic structure has given you the freedom and opportunity to do whatever you want, work wherever you want, and to follow your dreams. That is capitalism. I will lead the fight of capitalism in this country. I will lead the fight to buy Mordusian first before we enter into a trade deal with any nation to buy their products.

That is why, today, here on this stage, in the capital, in front of the President's mansion, I am officially announcing that I will run for President of Mordusia and that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the constitution and its CITIZENS from all enemies foreign and domestic so help me God. Thank you very much!

Election Chances for CPM Has Grown, New Polls Show

After the departure of the National Republican Party, the Conservative Party of Mordusia has a stronger chance of winning not only the Presidency, but also a majority in the National Assembly. Even with the Mordusian Labor Union joining the political arena as a new political party, CPM is preparing to celebrate a victory in November this year. Is it premature for the party to start their celebrations now or is it clear political victory? We can only wait and see.

Dr. Thomas Sutherland and CPM (Now NCC) Won

Image

After a long campaign across the entire country, Dr. Thomas Sutherland and the Conservative Party of Mordusia (now known as the National Conservative Council), has pulled out a victory for not only the Presidency, but a majority in the National Assembly. Winning 235 seats in the National Assembly, it is believed that President Sutherland and the NCC will take advantage for the next four (4) years to push through conservative legislation.

Image

After taking the oath of office, President Sutherland entered the Presidential Palace with the incoming Prime Minister, James Middleton, and introduced his first bill to the National Assembly to grant citizenship to all natural born Mordusians without having to take a qualification exam.

Things in Mordusia are turning back to normal with a hint of sweetness in the air. Will this party succeed or will it bring down the country itself?

On a breezy Tuesday, the day after the vote for a new cabinet was completed, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Mordusia administered the oath of office to the newly appointed Prime Minister, James Middleton.

Foreign Minister Acts Quickly

Image

Newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, John Bowman, acted quickly in issuing a bill to the National Assembly to ratify a conservative treaty. Minister Bowman stated that the treaty was important to "Keep Mordusia conservative in terms of international diplomacy and internal affairs." Minister Bowman said he will be actively working with Internal Affairs Minister, Timothy Crawford, to ensure that the provisions of the treaty is being followed within the confines of the nation.

The Mordusian Democrats

“IT MAY BE ACCURATE TO CALL THIS A REVOLUTION” INSIDE THE PARTY THAT STANDS TO SHAKE UP POLITICS

Image

Mordusia is a great country under awful leadership, at least that’s what Port Alexander Mayor Solomon Solid said in his speech last night. Mayor Solid goes one step further, openly attacking the president and laws in the country.

“Kleptocrats like President Sutherland have taken our proud, strong people with our strong Democratic traditions and abused them for their own selfish ambitions. They line their pockets with money taken out of the paychecks and bank accounts of the poor. They took away our fundamental freedoms of life liberty and property. Finally, they are in the process of turning our beloved nation into a police state, and would have her people shaking under the jackboots of tyranny! No more! Today is the day that we restore the foundation of our nation!”

Whether or not Mr. Solid’s revolution will come to fruition is anyone’s guess, but the people here in Port Alexander are watching keenly.

DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE ‘ALFIE’ COHEN ATTACKED BY PROTESTORS AT RALLY

Thessel Creek, Sammadora

Today could have been a very tragic day. Following a short speech to his prospective constituents in Thessel Creek, an area that overwhelmingly supported the government in the last election, Alfie Cohen was struck in the head with a paving brick. Mr. Cohen was promptly rushed to the hospital and is currently in critical condition.

Following this attack, there are now calls to form a political paramilitary organization, which is legal under current Mordusian law. Sarah VanDerWall, party leader, already filed the paperwork for a paramilitary license for a group called the “Knights of Democracy”

This group, according to VanDerWall, exists solely for protection against political violence and does not condone aggressive actions. Whether or not another political paramilitary will lead the nation down a dark road is a matter yet to be determined

MLU AND THE GREEN NEW DEAL, A NATIONAL NIGHTMARE

The Mordusian Labour Union proposed a bill in parliament that is "environmentally friendly," or that is the intention. However, Prime Minister James Middleton came out in front of it, showing strong opposition toward the legislation. Speaking in front of the University of Mordusia, the Prime Minister was repeatedly booed by the students but was applauded by many, if not all the adults in the room. In his address at the university, Prime Minister Middleton pointed out that this legislation would "...destroy the economy in every shape and form while decreasing liberty and increasing the power of the government." He went further by adding that this deal would "...take away millions of gas-powered cars." What this deal aims to do is decrease carbon emissions drastically while also creating a more habitable environment for society. Even though it sounds great, the National Conservative Council is still opposing this legislation along with the two other parties.

In a news conference, President Sutherland was asked to comment on the legislation. He responded by saying, "What the MLU is doing is creating a country that is of, for and by the government. It may sound good, but don't let good words seduce you. This is gaining us one step closer to a dictatorship and further away from our republican principles. It is not my place to comment on legislation as the head of state, and I do leave that up to Prime Minister Middleton, but I care about the citizens of this country and want to protect their jobs and the economy in which we live that has been doing so great since I took office in 4601. As I have spoken directly to the people then, I will do so again. [with emphasis] Do not fall for this trap! Do not let yourselves be seduced! Do not give up your freedom of thought to fall into the hands of dictatorial policies. And I will ensure that you will not. Next question."

Such a strong fight between the two parties. Ever since their first election, the parties have not seen eye to eye on any issue or policy. Even while trying to conform with the other, luck was not on the side of either party. Will the NCC and MLU ever agree? Only two bills have showed us the answer. Barely.

GOVERNOR RICHARD LEVINE ISSUES A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN CHARLEVILLE

Image
Governor Richard Levine

After recent attempts of socialist violent protesting in the last six months in Charleville, Governor Richard Levine ordered a State of Emergency in the city. A curfew has been established at 12:00AM. The Governor stated that the state of emergency will continue until the socialist "settle down" and "protest peacefully."

Socialist are protesting after the mayor and the city council issued an ordinance banning hospitals and clinics from committing the "sin" of gender reassignment. The city went further and made it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to sale any medicine pertaining to gender reassignment.

The Governor stated in a press conference that he stands with the local government's decision even though it violates federal law.

BREAKING: THE NCC GEARS UP FOR THE 4609 ELECTIONS; 10 POLITICIANS HAVE ANNOUNCED THEIR CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENT OF MORDUSIA

The 4609 elections are right around the corner. The National Conservative Council is jumping ahead of the game with already ten (10) candidates announcing their run for President of Mordusia. Former President and current Party Chairman, Dr. Thomas Sutherland, has confirmed that he will not be running for President, but for re-election as the Party's Chairman.

Former Prime Minister, James Middleton, was the first to announce his candidacy for President. In fact, the ten candidates to announce their run are former members of former President Thomas Sutherland's cabinet. Is there a divide in the party? We asked President Sutherland that question and here's his response.

Sutherland stated ,There is no divide, nor is there a shift inside of the National Conservative Council and this election will not bring that about.

Even though President Sutherland affirmed that there is no divide, voters and the media are still noticing not a divide, but a shift in policies from right-wing to left-wing. The NCC is now labelled by the market as regulator-leaning, going against the ideologies of the party. Former Prime Minister James Middleton stated that President Sutherland is willing to put "country over party" making it a "good thing." However, former Defense Minister, Stephen Atkinson stated otherwise.

Atkinson stated, Dr. Sutherland's willingness to bypass the voters and create market-regulating policies with the MLU is not in the best interest of the party. We need a party chair who is willing to fight for conservative values rather than compromising the party's values to satisfy the MLU and MD.

Stephen Atkinson went further to and announced his candidacy for NCC Party Chairman. Will this infighting create a winning strategy for the 4609 elections? Will the party be able to fight the ambitious and well-prepared MLU and President Plyd?
