Conservatives: Oatney for PR
BRIESK - Former Peoples Representative David Oatney has been elected Leader of the Conservatives at the party conference here in Briesk. In well received remarks to delegates, he accepted his party's nomination and went on to outline the Conservative platform for the upcoming election.Oatney thanked Conservatives for electing him and explained that, under his watch, Conservatives will oppose new bureaucracies, tax increases, and any funding for the Armed Services that might jeopardize Morovian neutrality. For the first time, he proposed that the new Royal Assembly formalize succession laws, and said, "The Conservative Party believes that the survival of the Kingdom is paramount. To that end, the Government will form a committee of our most respected citizens to examine the question of the Royal Succession and the long-term viability of the Crown, and formulate a plan to insure the survival of the Crown."
In a nod to running mates Bill Bekkenhuis and Christopher McQueeny, he pledged the revitalization of Victoria University and Conservative support for the promotion of spirituality and faith in the Morovian community. He received a standing ovation when he said, "A Conservative Government shall be dedicated in principle and in law to the idea that the government which governs best governs least. We are committed to the idea of popular and personal sovereignty."
Oatney served as Speaker of the Royal Assembly and Peoples Representative in 2002, and should the Conservatives gain a governing majority it is likely he will return to the latter office.
