Last week on August 27th, the National Conservative Party Council of Officers shared their intentions to those harmed by the immediate privatizations of the Colbertist Omnibus with the people of Kalistan by releasing a three minute video titled We've Helped in the Past, We'll Help Again. This short video starring NCP Minority Leader Brock Myers did little to inform the public on what exactly the NCP was planning to do but promised that more details would be revealed soon. Well, it seems as if soon is now as Deputy Myers has asked The Right View for an interview, and not being ones to disappoint, we graciously accepted.

Natalia Puerta's Interview with Deputy Brock Myers, 9/1/4545


Puerta: Thank you for offering this interview, Deputy Myers. To start, may I ask what took the NCP so long to take action regarding the Colbertist Omnibus?

Myers: Well, thank you for having me. Interviews are a much better way to inform the public on all issues. To answer your question, the Colbertists weren't to keen on immediately going out and assisting the public. They thought the free market would deliver Kalistan from this crisis. With their lack of cooperation and the thorn in our side that calls itself the Radical Brethrenists, we hadn't been able to get enough support to get a big movement going. Last year, however, we were finally able to convince Deputy Jack Smith, the new leader of the Colbertists, to support the CPRF, and with him came a good amount of other Colbertists. His eyes were opened by the fact that the free market hadn't helped yet. The closed industries still aren't back on their feet. Thousands are still unemployed. Thousands are still hungry.

Puerta: Why is it that the NCP let this bill pass? Surely the party could've stopped it once it became obvious that it would pass with the support of the LDP?

Myers: We wouldn't have been able to stop it. It would have been our Deputies and the Worker's Deputies against the LibDem's Deputies, and that's not a battle we would've won. The LibRefs had been completely silent on all of the omnibusses that our factions had proposed. Without their votes, we wouldn't have any chance of winning the vote. We kept our vote for the bill because it wouldn't have mattered. It would've been futile.

Puerta: How has the public image of the NCP been affected by the effects of the Omnibus?

Myers: Take a guess. You should know as well as I do that this surely hasn't helped us. Membership has taken quite a hit, and that won't help our efforts to repair what we've broken. Could we get into the CPRP questions now? We're straying a bit to far away from the important subject.

Puerta: Yes, of course. What exactly is the CPRP? What will you be doing?

Myers: The CPRP is a wide umbrella of multiple programs aimed at assisting those harmfully affected by privatization and helping build up the new private sector. We'll be doing a great many things from expanding CAK recruitment quotas to funding the construction of temporary housing for the homeless to even providing assistance to new companies in the freshly privatized sectors. Before when we've underwent hasty privatization, the NCP has supported quick jumps back to the dual economy rather than attempting to make a better situation. Right now, I think we should give well regulated capitalism a try and later implement a system with the best of both worlds. So right now we'll focus primarily on public relief and put funding the economy as our secondary concern. I'm sorry I haven't given a great amount of information regarding the CPRP programs, but we'll be publishing a complete list of all of the programs tomorrow.

Puerta: Well, this little you've told me about sounds like a lot. How does the NCP plan on paying for this?

Myers: For the Public Relief Programs we'll be getting the money through charity and membership dues. As always, CAK is only funded through membership dues and private donations. And for industry funding, some of our wealthier members have pledged to pitch in in order to build the economy back up. We're also cutting unneeded costs, primarily from office campaigns. We'll still be running George Cincinnatus in the Presidential race, but we don't expect to win anyway, so we've cut our Presidential campaign spending to the bone.

Puerta: I have one final question: Do you have anything to say to the other parties?

Myers: Help. Please do everything you can, especially the LDP. At the very least, expand your militias. This'd help both the starving military and the starving people. I'd very much like to see the quotas and summaries of the People's Revolutionary Guard and the Blue Berets. I haven't heard much from them since the Civil War.

Puerta: Thank you for the interview, Deputy. I can't wait to see the complete CPRP list.

Myers: Tomorrow it'll be out, Mrs. Puerta. Thanks for having me.
