Description[?]:
| We would like to present the new front bench of the BPDP and would like to compare it with the previous one. Previous: Head of Government: Sir Francis Xavier Romanovic II, PhD, A.P.S (radical liberal) Foreign Affairs: Sir Ranfords Smithson James CBE OBE (moderate liberal) Internal Affairs: Dr Gabriel Florea A.P.S, B.A. (ultra-radical liberal) Finance: Sir Janus Hartmann A.S, A.P.S, B.A., B.S (radical progressive) Defence: Dr Johnson Henry Greg PhD, A.P.S, B.A., B.S, M.Phil. (radical liberal socialist) Justice: Dame Angela Ventura PhD, A.P.S (radical liberal) Infrastructure and Transport: Dr Marlene Davidson A.S, M.Phil, A.P.S, B.A (ultra-radical progressive) Health and Social Services: Dr. Jean-Marie Vallier A.S, M.Phil, A.P.S, B.A (radical liberal) Education and Culture: Dr Clarissa Rada Anya Waleria Székely B.S, MIA, M.Phil., PhD (moderate progressive) Science and Technology: Professor Johnson J Johnson M.Phil., LL.M. (ultra-radical liberal) Food and Agriculture: Dr Cecilia Rasmussen A.P.S, B.A., B.S (ultra-radical liberal socialist) Environment and Tourism: Rachel Jane Adams, A.P.S, PhD, A.S, M.Phil, H.B.Econ (soft libertarian) Trade and Industry: Dame Jane Marie-Anne Varman B.A., B.S (radical liberal) As you can see from this, the old shadow cabinet lineup is composed of radical progressives, liberals and libertarians. Although there is no problem with this, Furgenster, after a hardly fought leadership election has decided to completely revamp the cabinet, saying that he wished for newer faces and more youngsters in cabinet. But he will continue to keep some old faces, to prevent a rift in the party and criticisms of a unstable leadership and party. Here is the new front bench: Head of Government: Dr Gabriel Florea A.P.S, B.A. (ultra-radical communist) Foreign Affairs: Dr. Jean-Marie Vallier A.S, M.Phil, A.P.S, B.A (ultra-radical libertarian) Internal Affairs: Dame Angela Ventura PhD, A.P.S (ultra-radical socialist) Finance: Dr Johnson Henry Greg PhD, A.P.S, B.A., B.S, M.Phil. (radical libertarian) Defence: Sir Janus Hartmann A.S, A.P.S, B.A., B.S (ultra-radical socialist) Justice: Dr Marlene Davidson A.S, M.Phil, A.P.S, B.A (ultra-radical communist) Infrastructure and Transport: Senator Janus Hartmann II A.P.S, PhD (ultra-radical libertarian) Health and Social Services: Professor Harriette Odell Boon A.P.S, PhD, M.Phil, B.A., B.S (ultra-radical socialist) Education and Culture: Dr Cecilia Rasmussen A.P.S, B.A., B.S (ultra-radical liberal socialist) Science and Technology: Dr Nelda Valorie Beverly B.S., M.Phil (ultra-radical socialist) Food and Agriculture: Professor Marie-Anne Smith B.A (ultra-radical socialist) Environment and Tourism: Dame Jane Marie-Anne Varman B.A., B.S (radical libertarian) Trade and Industry: Dr Ericka Ronnette Haenraets B.A., B.S., M.Phil, PhD, A.P.S., A.S (ultra-radical socialist) The opposition front bench, as expected, has gone through a major revamp, with many current members being promoted to higher positions in the shadow cabinet. The new cabinet is one of the most left wing shadow cabinets of the BPDP, with many ultra-radical socialists and libertarians being appointed. This has drawn criticism from many political scientists from Fort Thorne National University, saying that such a radical left-wing cabinet might further disenfranchise BPDP voters, as the majority of BPDP supporters are moderates rather than radicals, which might draw votes towards moderate parties like SWP, NLP and the SLP. But considering that there are many vacant seats and that most of the voters are still currently undecided, it is not clear whether the BPDP will really lose votes. The most surprising in the cabinet reshuffle was the removal of one prominent figure. It was Sir Francis Xavier Romanovic, the former President and former leader of the BPDP. He has vanished from the front-bench and has been relegated to the back-bench. Many liberals within the BPDP have criticised this move, saying that Furgenster is showing more of his totalitarian side of his personality, removing figures that are opposed to his leadership and restricting their powers in the party. No comment has been made by Romanovic as of yet, but Furgenster has defended this move, saying that he wished for fresher faces in the party which can bring the party forward towards success. |
