History
Carter Richardson was a key figure in the January Constitution for the Republic of Neeburm. The Constitution installed a powerful grand council. With the rise of the Jardine Administration, Carter Richardson believed that the Prime Minister held less power than the Grand Council and founded the party in order to strengthen the position of the Prime Minister. He founded the Conservative party based on this belief on January 31.
The main opposition to the party came the next day on February 1, when Corban Smith founded the Neeburmian Centrist Party. Corban then started spreading rumors stating that Richardson hoped to create a dictatorship out of Neeburm. The two parties became rivals until relations began to thaw following agreements between Carter and Corban to reform the electoral system as well as amend the constitution. After Stevenson became the chairperson of the party, the Communist Party was founded, which is majorly opposed by the Conservative Party. A major change came when Ashton Hall, a member of the Grand Council, decided to run again for Grand Council Member as a Conservative.
In the March 2024 Elections, Carter Richardson won and became the Prime Minister of Neeburm. With Ashton Hall in the Grand Council, the Conservatives gained a massive foothold in the government. The Conservative Party is going under significant reforms at the moment.
