JANET FINNIGAN WANTS TO LEAD THE VCA BACK TO ITS OLD POWER
Janet Finnigan is the new leader of the conservatives and succeeds to Charles Ellows. Ellows has retired from the VCA's leadership after the party had only got 16 percent in the election of August the 5th - 6 percent less than in 2005's election and even one percent less than the LUSC.
Finnigan prevailed against Arthur Thompson who replaces her as vice-leader of the VCA. 53.2 percent of the members' votes fell to Finnigan's share.
Janet Finnigan, 52 years old, is the daughter of Geoffrey Finnigan, Saidercray's conservative Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1989 to 1991, and his wife Linda, a tax consultant. Finnigan wants to lead the VCA back to its old power and issued the aim of 23 percent plus x in 2008. To reach this aim, she intends to modernize the VCA's profile without abandoning typical focal points. "A fundamental discussion about what we are and what the terms 'virtuous' and 'conservative' imply nowadays is necessary. We have to deal with a reality in which many of the people no longer identify with what we have been once. The VCA cannot join every blunder of the modern age, yet it cannot ignore the people of the modern age and become an ivory tower-party without any contact to the world around it."
Finnigan's charges run into different echos. Whereas many members see a modernization as inevitable, others fear that the VCA will lose its identity so that the people won't really know what the party stands for. At all events, the conservatives are entering a decisive point of their history: If they succeed in making themselves attractive to today's voting population, there will be conservative ministers sooner or later. If not, the election of 2006 may become the beginning of the downfall for the proud party of Saidercray's first president.
