"The great man himself, Algernon Phargle, is dead at the age of 106.
Phargle was the great intellectual who created the Christian Democrats in 2177 and helped guide them to electoral victory in 2187. He served as the party's first Director General from 2187 to 2189, and handed over the reins of power gracefully to Amadee Savoy, thus ensuring that the party would not become a cult of personality.
Phargle's contributions to Keymonian society cannot be understated. He helped build Keymon's modern conservative movement and gave voters a party that supported their religious and conservative values - the only party in Keymon that actually represents the traditions of Keymon. Phargle was also the workhorse who delivered the Keymon Neutrality Agreement, one of the most-ratified treaties on Terra, when he served as Savoy's Foreign Minister.
Long since retired, Phargle nevetheless spent his years writing articles for various conservative dailies and has continued to support his party. The movement he created has come to define Keymon, and he was truly one of our greatest citizens. His like will not be seen again for ages.
Condolences may be sent to the Grand Duchy of Keymon"
