Description[?]:
| ERNEBURROW, ERNESHIRE — The Luthorian Socialist Party swept the elections in Erneshire last night, emerging with 63 of the 101 seats in the regional diet and an absolute majority of the popular vote. This follows an energetic campaign by Erneshire LSP leader Liam Logan, which proudly embraced local identity in this long-distinct region, and on election night saw the party win landslides in the Alchester-Tresham industrial belt and rural coal mining areas while also running up the totals throughout the rest of the duchy. In his election night victory speech Logan promised that he would “tirelessly fight for Erneshire”, even if that meant “standing up to the national government.” It is hard to see these remarks, however, as anything other than post-election posturing: while he ran on a moderate platform, having last year overseen a change in the regional party’s stated goals from being “a party of the working class” to “a party of the people”, he personally remains on the best of terms with the prime minister and national party apparatus. Logan’s cabinet, presented to and voted for by the Erneshire diet as it convened this morning, will consist of John Collett as Minister for Finance, the Economy, and Labour; Alfred Leighton as Minister for Education, Youth, and the Family; Henry Rothwell as Minister for Infrastructure, Food, and Agriculture; and Richard Spraggins as Minister for Justice and the Interior. While Collett, Leighton, and Rothwell are long-standing members of the party, his pick for justice and interior minister is an outsider choice; Spraggins is a 34-year-old professor of law at the University of Alchester with no previously-known party or ideological affiliation. The new minister-president 4957: Born on the 30th of March at Tresham. 4958: Entered Eldene Grammar School in Tresham. 4975: Accepted to the University of Fort William, becoming involved with left-wing student groups. 4978: Graduated from the University of Fort William with a degree in history; joined civil service. 4984: Left the civil service to lecture at the University of Alchester. 4985: Selected as a candidate on the LSP’s majority bonus list for the Erneshire regional elections, with him missing out on election and the party on power by a mere 621 votes following recounts. 4990: Elected on the proportional list in the Erneshire regional elections that year, despite the LSP losing ground compared to their 4985 result. 4994: Appointed as the Erneshire LSP’s education spokesman after the courts lift the ban on the party. 4995: Elected as leader of the Erneshire LSP after leader Herbert Mason resigns following a disastrous result for the Socialists which sees them lose seven points from 4990, down almost ten points on their 4985 result. 4999: Oversees the Erneshire LSP’s adoption of the ‘5000 Programme’, changing its platform’s stated goals from being “a party of the working class” to “a party of the people.” |
