Luthori

[Ligbruderkrieg]

The Conservative Party and the Moderates, once a splinter group from the Tories, the Moderates failed to create a distinct identity from their Conservative counterparts. 

Considering the long history of collaboration developed between the two political formations, with the Moderates joining every government led by the Conservative Party, the announcement that an announcement had been reached for the return of the Moderates under the Tory Party's fold makes no surprise.

Current Tory leader and Prime Minister, Davy Harper announced all jubilant that the "right was coming ever closer together", with this declaration of the Moderates' joining the Conservative Party.

Although this decision is stated to have been in the "works" since years, with Conservative and Moderates insiders stating that negotiations started about 3 years ago, the ultimate decision to dissolve the Moderates and rejoin the Conservative Party sparked massive controversy, both within the Moderates and in public opinion.

This massive shakeup of Luthorian politics hasn't gone unnoticed, on the internet, users have pointed at the "Consolidation of Government" theory, openly embraced by some high-ranking Conservative political leaders, such as the elderly leader of the Identity Study Committee, Margaret Harper. The theory states that the main political ideologies are best represented through the two largest parties that are the Conservative Party and the National Labour Party. This theory calls for the "consolidation" of Luthorian politics between these two parties, by squezzing out the other political parties into their respective apparatus.

This theory, despised on the left and looked with envy on the right, is source of controversy, especially with the Tories expanding their presence in the lower and upper house through acquiring the Moderates' MPs. Numerous voters are expressing their worry as about "the respect of their voices", many voted for the Moderates as a political formation and are now seeing the party they've voted for be absorbed into another political formation. With the Moderates all but dead as a political formation with this agreement, most of their members have expressed willingness at "joining" the Conservative Party, according to an inside poll.

But even as a majority of Moderates' members express their willingness to join the Tories, others have announced that they would leave the Moderates and not join the Conservatives, instead forming their own political formation, if they can.

Current MP for Lorcaster-East, John Trevalyn, expressed his "deepest apologies" about the party's decision to dissolve itself, calling it a "shameful decision that robs millions of their vote in favour of stable leadership, fiscal conservatism and social pragmatism", he also attacked the Tories' "dogmatism" towards party doctrine, stating that the Conservative Party wasn't the best choice for "individualism and free-thinking MPs".

He and 7 other Moderates' MPs, in both Houses of Parliament, signed a tribune, vowing to create a new political formation to "carry on the Moderates' will", out of these, some also expressed willingness at joining the Liberal Party to push forward a "socially liberal and fiscally conservative agenda".

It is expected that out of 41 MPs in the Chamber of Representatives affiliated with the Moderates' group in the lower house - 31 would heed the call and join the Conservative Party as per with their party leadership' call, making the Conservative delegation in the Chamber rise from 127 to 158.
