4th National Moderate Government: 1952 - 1961

The 4th National Moderate Government was formed on the 18th of August 1952 in the Kingdom of Dissau with John Heathers as Prime Minister. The government was formed after barely winning the 1952 General Election and forming a coalition with Free Liberal to secure a majority. The government was originally led by John Heathers, a prominent 36-year-old ex-businessman, who became party leader in 1950 and became incredibly popular in his party and the general public. Heathers ran into a problem around 1954/1955 about the issue of denationalization and his party soon became divided among the issue. Heather's announced his resignation in 1955 but remained leader until the next leader was chosen. Jonas Rigby won the 1955 National Moderate Leadership Election and became leader and Prime Minister on the 11th of March 1955. Rigby united his party for the 1956 Dissauian General Election and won the election with a landslide victory. He then promised to go forth with his denationalization plan but after some backlash from MPs about how extreme his plan was, he decided to only continue small parts of the plan. Rigby's anti teenager and anti social progress stance became very unpopular with young voters and so his party nearly lost the 1960 General Election, having to form a coalition with Free Liberal. The government dissolved on the 22nd of February 1961 after losing the 1961 Dissauian General Election.
