Walter Johannes: Difference between revisions

Johannes beat his rival, [[MBE Democrats|Democrat]] Freya Libden in the [[1998 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|1998 General Election]] with a 3/4 majority vote. He became Shadow Secretary of State for Morstaybishlia in 2000, Shadow Home Secretary in early 2001 and Chairman in the Conservative Party in late 2001. He dropped Shadow Secretary of State in 2003 and Shadow Home Secretary in 2004. He became the Leader of the Conservative Party after the retirement of Samminel Herinchaw. He went on to win the [[2005 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2005 General Election]] in a landslide 476 seat victory, succeeding [[MBE Labour|Labour]] Leader [[Verlhanz Rothgerus]]; and became the youngest person to hold the office Prime Minister ever (age 33), beating [[Orson Klarass]] (age 35) who had held the record for 87 years since the position was established. He went on to win the [[2012 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|General Election]], albeit losing 84 seats.

 

Johannes declared war on the [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy of Ethalria]] on 31 May 2017 for the assassination of [[Prince Thadeus, Duke of Horkalo|Prince Thadeus]]. His opinion polls were the highest in his time in office at this time, and Johannes successfully ended the fascist reign of [[Amalda Harimann]], though he had faced backlash from political opponents such as Leader of the Opposition [[Franklin Barvata]] for his "use of soldiers like cannon fodder" and for destabilising the [[Ethalns]]. Though the war was successful, its rapid mobilisation and state of total war had left the economy in recession. Following the war, Johannes released the Five Year Post-War Plans and had promised the nation an era of internal development. A year later, [[Rodenia]] fell into civil war and Johannes broke several promises in the plans by getting involved, supporting the right-wing [[Kirk Santon]] over the socialist and communist revolutionaries. Johannes successfully ended the war and Santon was appointed as Protector of the Realm. Johannes supported Santon through establishing a provisional government. At the same time, Johannes campaigned across the MBE for the [[2019 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2019 General Election]] to be elected for an unheard of third term, though with a dampened opinion poll and his political opponent Barvata faring better in the polls, The Conservatives eventually lost the election by 250 seats. Johannes stated that it was "A dream of mine to become the first Prime Minister elected for a third term; and had that been successful the first person to serve the office for potentially 21 years".
