TLD SELECTS NEW LEADERSHIP


Outgoing TLD Leader Maximillian von Kluge
 
ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER
 
Dunburg, July 19, 5646: After losing seats and friendly but unsuccessful merger talks with Neue Dundorfische Zentrumspartei (NDZP), Team Liberaldemokraten (TLD) leaders met at its headquarters in Dunburg to discuss its future.
 
Former Defence Minister Maximillian von Kluge who has long headed TLD said he felt a new approach was necessary or at least new leadership so he would resign as party leader to make way for new ideas and new leadership.
 
Former President Friedrich Alvensleben wants to continue his party involvement, but does not want to be spokesperson or legislative leader of TLD.  What he wants to do is spend his effort on reinforcing connection with the  constituent donors and organizations that TLD represents.
 
No one believed that their platform or emphasis should be changed from pro business and traditional values although there was considerable discussion of appealing to younger voters who have tended to vote more left than right primarily because they did not respond well to pontification by the post menopausal and impotent on who was allowed to sleep with whom.  But that was only if they actually bothered to vote.
 
Friedrich v. Schirach and Gunther Krancke emerged as the actual candidates for formal leadership of TLD. While there were no noticeable ideological differences voiced, von Schirach  believed that vigorous assault on everything the governing coalition did domestically either as conceptually ruinous or ineptly executed would bring TLD to the forefront of the opposition as the voice of those who know we can do better.
 
Krancke emphasized clear identification with our stance on issues so that TLD is recognized the true voice of business, industry and economic growth.  He further felt a significant percentage of the younger voters who voted could be attracted by articulating pride in the Bundesrepublik with a growing economy, modern military, fair tax system, fair justice system  and, most important, the opportunity for each citizen to thrive.
 
Krancke was elected TLD Party Leader by a comfortable margin after which von Schirach was selected as Legislative Chief Whip.
 
Asked by ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER what he thought of the meeting, Alvensleben indicated the cloud of defeat was lifting.
