McQueeny Completes Conservative Sweep
NATIONAL - Conservative Christopher McQueeny has prevailed in the second round run off with Progressive Steven Foong. McQueeny received 5 votes, or 55%, to Foong's 4, or 45%. The result seals a Conservative landslide in the last week's elections. The party now holds three out of three seats in the Royal Assembly."That the Morovian people have given me such a vote of confidence is stunning, and humbling," said McQueeny in a statement to reporters outside of the House of Law. "Inasmuch as I can speak for my party, this seems to be further confirmation that what Morovia wants is not idealism, but solid plans, rooted in realistic Conservative values."
Defeated Progressive Peter Krembs was quick to lament the result. Calling Morovia a "de-facto single party state" he said, "Despite holding all of the seats in the Assembly, the Conservatives may be shocked to learn that a very large proportion of the Morovian population did not vote for them at all."
Recently elected David Oatney has announced his intention to stand for Peoples Representative, with many observers predicting Bill Bekkenhuis will return to the Speakership. Steven Foong was not available for comment.
