TITULIA CITY (TNC Politics) | Acting LRP Leader TJ Norton responded to posts by The RNC Daily using a TNC Newswire article with the labels “LEFT LRP”.
TNC Newswire distributes these articles to affiliates for Breaking News or News Alerts. In no way do we promote the RNC Daily’s title for this article.
TNC News partner the Titulian Conservative used a more blatant title “Ambrose Out, Norton in – for awhile”, which is appropriate for its center-right agenda.
Of course, tensions between the LRP and RNC are not particularly friendly. The LRP broke off a coalition with the RNC after the RNC disapproved of then-President Norton ‘s administration (LRP) .
LRP RESPONSE TO RNC DAILY:
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE RNC'S 'LABELLING' OF THE LRP
I understand that the RNC considers every citizen should be forced to wear a label, so the LRP on this one occasion will assist the RNC with their traditionally Nazi-style habits of political identification tags.
Membership and political leaning
The "Liberal Republican" name was styled, according to party records, by former leader Leah Carmody and co-founders James Matthews and Frank Stevens. It was established as a house for all from the left to the right but with an appreciation for social progressive issues - issues which should have been but not advocated in both Government and the legislature by the SDP and have been ignored ever since former President Eric Meissner left the store. Since that time, the SDP has been more centre-right than ever realised .. detracting from their once proud position as the stalwarts of social progress in the Republic.
This left a large vacuum in the left movement so there needed to be a party that represented not only centre and centre-right issues but one that wasn't hostile to legislatively progressing the social agenda. The LRP satisfied that early into its history when it was established in May 2010 - interestingly - in response to being pushed by the far right of the RNC being hostile to its values.
A new political movement was championed by those who were criticised in the harshest manner, people who were also passionate about politics and had a different idea to the political establishment held in Titulia.
Our first leader, Leah Carmody, was a primary example of the moderate leadership the LRP needed to park its message in the electorate. She fought hard alongside those in the RNC - who at the same time were then and still trying to destroy us as a party - to push for reform of the legislature as a more inclusive parliamentary chamber. Her efforts did not realise what could have been due her partisan prosecution and life matters outside of the Republic pulling her away.
Commentary from our internal party chat archives reveals that Reg Ambrose was the most unlikely of successors. I was a member of the party by that time and recruited heavily by Renee Buchanan and Frank Stevens. Renee was the anticipated leader in waiting but it was soon discovered that Reg's nomination was actually welcomed by the then frontrunner and in true Liberal Republican style - Renee walked off the stage honouring her friend and legal mentor.
By this time, the inaugural Carmody-Matthews era was over and the party established itself as a centrist movement under Reg Ambrose. In the 6 months since the party was founded - not 1 internal brawl has come to light. Our members honour and stand up for their mates in good times and when the chips are down.
So in response to the RNC's persistent misinformation campaign about our party and what it stands for, to assist them and their fellow political assailants - the political ideological of our party is near broad spectrum. The only exception being that the far right has no presence, nor is its brand of fascism and non-stately behaviour welcome in our party.
There are other party options for those who choose to pursue these policies in Titulia. We are proud to represent responsible politics and stand against those who bring harm to the Republic. If any single policy can be achieved more than another - let that stand above all.
T. J. Norton
Acting President
Liberal Republican Party
