"Labour Will Consider Its Direction"- New Leader Berg
Defence Minister says she wants to build a 'new Labour Party' and will make that the theme of conference

Recently elected Labour Party leader Ana Berg, has promised that the Labour Party will 'seriously consider' how it functions as a party. Her election, in which she convincingly defeated the two other candidates- Devika Darzi and Francesca Totti- represents a shift in the party from the old Socialist traditions of Luca Curti and Jim O'Connell to a new, youthful Labour which is more receptive to the interests of small businesses as well as Law and Order concerns. Significantly, Miss Berg had been a vocal critic of the People's Army during the period when they attempted to seize control of the party in a manner which some termed 'entryism'.
Her acceptance speech was well received and many likened her style of speaking to the party founder Karen Omobo. She explained plans for a considerable rethink of Labour Party strategy, stating that Labour should become 'the party of small business' and that it was time for the outdated views of her predecessor to be shelved in favour of a pragmatic new way of thinking. Some have argued this would be stabbing Labour members in the back yet this doesn't seem to have affected Berg's popularity. Her approval rating nationwide is higher than any Labour leader since Luca Curti's time as Premier and the party looks set to do well in the elections next year.
Berg has garnered a reputation for her iconoclastic views, which will only further speculation about the Labour Party's willingness to defend Kalistan's historic systems. Whilst little has ever materialised, there have always been rumours that plans had been made to dismantle Presidential Prerogative. Berg has only been a Deputy in the National Assembly since 4095 but in that relatively short time, she has become a household name amongst the politically oriented, particularly for her robust criticisms of the CIP. She will hope that pugnacious attitude will transfer into votes in twelve months time.
Berg's first action as party leader was to order the formation of a Constitutional Committee to suggest changes and amendments to the Labour Party constitution which would subsequently be sent to members for approval, immediately highlighting her conviction. The real test will be ensuring that the suggested changes are approved and this could lead to Berg holding off on any controversial ones- such as an end to NEC elections- until a later date.
