YTTINNIS TIMES: Nash Resigns

Yttinnis Times, YTTINNIS – In a move long anticipated by members of the Federal Liberal Party, Truman Nash, parliamentary leader, has resigned from his leadership post. Nash is the latest in a series of leaders of the FLP that have been unable to continue the legacy of William Crest, who led the party to its largest electoral victory (22%) in 565 AER. Even Clinton Breckenridge, who gave birth to the present conception of the FLP that led to Crest's rise, was unable to suture the wound left by the retirement of Crest. Breckenridge was followed by Jude Bishop and now Nash, and here we are. A party that was once the most popular party in the nation now holds a mere 3% of seats in the Chamber of Deputies. 
Nash represents the "old guard" of the Federal Liberals; that is, the classical liberal wing of the party first initiated by Andrew Arrington in 521 AER. In the past decade, the classical liberals of the party have been becoming less and less relevant, with the rise of neoliberals and social liberals in the party. It is anticipated that Nash's replacement will not be from the classical liberal camp. 
Ron Formac, press secretary for the FLP, informed the Times that the process for replacing Nash would begin sometime next week. Formac reiterated to the press that Federal Liberals of all stripes have offered their appreciation to Nash for leading the party over this difficult past decade.
