Conservative Party (MAI)

The Conservative Party is a major political party of MAI launched by The Leader. It has mostly Liberal conservative, [Libertarian], [Thatcherist and [[wikipedia:Free enterprise|Free enterprise] policies. The majority of it's members have been described as "leftist" by the majority of Margatians but it is a centre right. It is lead by The Leader, a passionate conservative.

Background
Their origins come from the former Conervative Party in the United Penguin's Republic. They had long dominated the country's poltics until it's merge with MAI. Intially, many party members joined the Penguin Power Party but soon left afterwards as it didn't mix with their ideas. They teamed up to reform the Conservative Party and base it around MAI. With the elections coming up the next year they instantly got started. The Leader became the party's leader. From several speeches he was able to win over the Margatians. The party membership list has risen with members leaving from all three major political parties, PUP, PPP and DAMP for the Conservatives. However these other parties remain powerful.

Controversy
Many had criticised the party for being "too middle classs" to do any real benefit for Margate. The party replied that they aim to make sure everyone benefits. One of the main newspapers in support of the DAMP-PUP coalition stated:

"While the upper and middle earners benefit the rest of us will disappear under this system of Capitalism."
