The 7 Month Reign of Scott Morrisen
Vrassa City, Vrassa
June 4480

After more than 100 years of being inactive the CPK made a surprise to the Assembly, all because of one man, Scott Morrisen. Mr Morrisen was proud of the achievements the CPK made in Kalistan when they first were elected and wanted to return that glory to Kalistan. With a few thousands members still remaining in the party, Mr Morrisen set out to rebuild, reorganise and rebrand the CPK. This resulted is a surprise victory go 62 seats which gave them the highest amount of seats of in the Assembly as well as a working majority with the NCP and KF when needed. Mr Morrisen was then elected as the party leader in the Assembly and as the party candidate for President.

Once Elected Mr Morrisen's Glory Days quickly diminished.

Mr Morrisen proposed 9 Bills to the assembly on what he believed were traditional CPK values from more than 100 years ago, ones which he believed represented a true Kalsitan even though the people of Kalistan disagreed. Mr Morrisen continual proposal of bills that nearly used the entire party qouta in 7 months made for growing anger inside his own party which he had rebuilt. Fellow parties in the house, especially from Kalistan First continued to mount more pressure of Mr Morrisen to clean up his leadership. Kalistan First (Kalistan Radical Front) was a key partner in the CPK's original days and although they relied heavily on the CPK's support to win elections and pass bills, Mr Morrisen was unable to win back that support to seek endorsement for president.

This continual mounting pressure within lead to a rising face within the party, Mr Taylor Marten to approach Mr Morrisen to call a leadership spill. Mr Marten informed Mr Morrisen that he would seek the leadership of the CPK if he held a party room meeting and called the leadership for the party open. He also informed Mr Morrisen that he believed he had majority support within the party room and would be able to deliver on a stable government.

Mr Maren was first out of the party room approached the camera's and made the following statement:

Hello All,
Well what a new day today is. Kalistans largest party has a new leader after 7 Months of being elected.

Now I don't want you to think this is going to be the way the CPK runs, one thing goes bad and we then change leader. We changed leader because we didn't want to change you. We have conservative policies but not radical policies which date back more then 100 years. We want to lead you in a modern conservative way.

And I can confirm today that we are currently in the works of creating a coalition which supports conservative ideas and future proofing policies in Kalistan. I will deliver more on that in the coming months.

However I do want to thank Mr Morrisen for his support in rebuilding the party and for that I have given him the position as candidate for Internal Affairs due to his strong beliefs and hope he can bring his world of knowledge to us.

Finally, I want to thank you, the people for entrusting my party with your support in May 4480, I know we may. have let you. down but we will currently try our very best to get back on track. At then end of the day the CPK is on your side and will always be on your side.

Thankyou, no questions.
