Balfour House - Municipal Conservative HQ

The Group AGM is tomorrow. Which will also be used to sort players into committees. You will be placed into whichever ones the group leader wants you to go into, but you may make requests here or in private. Private and public requests do not have to match.

Councillor Knight: I call to order the MCP AGM. I do not wish to dwell on the outcome of the election at present; we will debate that shortly. First, to business. I intend to remain as Leader of the group. Are there any objections?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Councillor Atkinson: yes. Yes, sir, I do object. You have led this Party to three defeats on the trot. It is time for change; time for someone who will stand up to the dangerous approach taken by the Socialists, someone with a background in industry and not the law. I challenge you for the leadership of the group.

OOC: PCs should state their preferences in public. Results will then be calculated via magic.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Councillor Berry: Edwin Knight has sixteen votes, Bernard Atkinson nine. Five councillors appear to have abstained. Councillor Knight remains the leader of the MCP group and will now proceed to allocate committee places.

Knight spends a couple of minutes checking through a list drawn up earlier and makes marks with his pen. It is uncertain whether changes are being made or whether he merely wants it to look as though changes are being made. When he stands up and reads out the names, most of the senior committee members - those who shadow the Chairmen - remain the same, although Atkinson has been shuffled down from Public Works to Watch. Eventually he reaches the backbench councillors...

Cllr. Knight: Councillor Douglas Finlay-Hamilton has been appointed to the Public Works Committee, to the Finance Committee and to the Arts & Leisure Committee.

Councillor John Fredericks has been appointed to the Stovesby Local Education Authority, to the Housing Committee and to the Public Health Committee.

...

Councillor David Pitman has been appointed to the Watch Committee, to the Public Health Committee and to the Welfare Committee.

Councillor Knight: of course, of course.
