Fellow Members, This party room meeting today was called open by the former leader Mr Scott Morrisen for the sole purpose of conducting a leadership ballot. I will now hand control of the ballot to the party Whip.
I opened the leadership ballot today at 9:15am and it is now 9:45am. Throughout this time Mr Scott Morrisen, Mr Taylor Marten and Ms Julia Priest all contested the leadership spill.
The First Ballot:
-Mr Marten 30 Votes
-Mr Morrisen 19 Votes
-Ms Priest 13 Votes
Ms Priest was removed from the ballot and second vote was taken between Mr Marten and Mr Morrisen, the results are as followed:
The Second Ballot:
- Mr Marten 44 Votes
- Mr Morrisen 18 Votes
Mr Marten is the new leader of the Conservative Party of Kalistan and is currently working on a statement.
Hello All,
Well what a new day today is. Kalistans largest party has a new leader after 7 Months of being elected.
Now I don't want you to think this is going to be the way the CPK runs, one thing goes bad and we then change leader. We changed leader because we didn't want to change you. We have conservative policies but not radical policies which date back more then 100 years. We want to lead you in a modern conservative way.
And I can confirm today that we are currently in the works of creating a coalition which supports conservative ideas and future proofing policies in Kalistan. I will deliver more on that in the coming months.
However I do want to thank Mr Morrisen for his support in rebuilding the party and for that I have given him the position as candidate for Internal Affairs due to his strong beliefs and hope he can bring his world of knowledge to us.
Finally, I want to thank you, the people for entrusting my party with your support in May 4480, I know we may. have let you. down but we will currently try our very best to get back on track. At then end of the day the CPK is on your side and will always be on your side.
Thankyou, no questions.
(Izquierda reporter) F(elicity) D(elgado): Greetings Comrade. It's great to see you.
R(aymond) R(eiley-Carrangus): Thanks. I was wondering when you all were gonna call. Hit me up once in a while, Girl.
FD: It's been a slow news month.
RR: Slow news half decade.
FD: First question. Now that the SP has reorganized in Kalistan, what are your plans?
RR: Bennots has already announced I'll be running for President again, so that's what's up. Hopefully we can get this early election through, but if not, Its alright. We don't really have a head of state at the moment, and the government isn't really doing anything, a third of it is gone. No worries. Same as it ever was, I suppose.
FD: What have you been up to since the SP left politics?
RR: I've been playing a lot of pool. Dating some. Catching up on my social life. The Socialist Party demanded so much time of its officials, there wasn't a lot of time to just live you know. But I'm ready to get back into it.
FD: There have been some controversial bills passed by the Assembly in the last few years. What's your take on these?
RR: Our comrades in the Workers' Front have done a good job representing for the Left, and I get the feeling that they could use some help pushing back these strange changes. We have to reverse this borders business. We have to reverse these anti-union policies passed in 81. We have to fight to protect the right to access abortions for women. And everything else the Socialist Party traditionally stands for.
FD: Is there anything you wish to do in your term if you are elected?
RR: I support the change that Bennots has proposed to the Presidential Prerogative. The object is for the Plurality Party to offer a slate to the President and the President name the Government. I don't think that is tenable, especially when Presidents keep belong to Parties which go defunct. So I think the SP would like to begin a discussion to change the prerogative, and give the right to the Plurality to name the Government. We should even go a little further. Perhaps the President's Party should also be in charge of Foreign Relations. It might be a decent compensation.
FD: What is your position on the Kalistani Brethren who moved to Gaduridos as the SP was going on hiatus?
RR: They did their thing. That happened in the last few days of my Presidency. And to be honest, moving to a tropical island to start a religious community seems quite utopian. I don't know the wisdom of starting a political Party. Gaduridos seems to be sufficiently weak that the Government probably didn't even know or care that they went. But like a lot of other Political Brethrenist movements, the one in Gaduridos ran into a brick wall, called Inertia. If we have another Socialist in FA, maybe we can check in on them from time to time, and do what we can to encourage them. But I think I understand that they have returned to just being a social movement, so they won't be needing political support.
FD: Is there any chance of the Brethrenists organizing an independent political movement here in Kalistan?
RR: Independent of the SP? That is unlikely. The Brethren here are so closely tied to the Socialist Party, and those who do not vote Socialist generally reject politics as a whole. The Brethren in Kalistan have other avenues for political involvement which were not open to the Brethren in Gaduridos, so we see strong Brethrenist influence in Kalistan within the SP even if the Brethren are not organized as an explicitly political force.
FD: Thanks for letting us catch up with you, Comrade President.
RR: It's no problem. I always got time for Izquierda
