Name: Tilda Morgen
Party: New Centrist List
Picture/Description:
Platform: Incumbent President Tilda Morgen hopes to be reelected to continue the reforms introduced during her first term as President of the Nylander Republic.
The reforms passed under President Morgen administration in the last four years are too many to mention, but the Federal Minimum Wage Act and the increasing social spending, along many already being discussed in the Nylander Assembly are just examples of that long list.
President Morgen promises to continue to the current economic policy, focused in economic growth and combining free market policies with more fair and balanced government regulation. She promises to keep increasing social spending, along more investment in research and infraestructures. Morgen administration hopes to increase the Federal Minimum Wage to $12 this year, and it has promised to study an increase to $14 in 1584, if economic growth continues as predicted and the Low Pay Commission gives a favourable report.
While Morgen administration has been focused to reduce economic inequality, it has also worked to decrease the corporate tax for business. She has promised to keep working to help business and companies to grow, by reducing bureucracy for new companies and easier access to credit for entrepeneurs.
Morgen also promises to keep increasing the budget for healthcare and education, and new federal programs for social housing, so youth and working and middle classes have access to affordable housing. By increasing grants and a new federal student loan plan, consisting in offering refinancing options and employer assistance programs, Morgen hopes to solve the problem of rising debt. Her administration may consider to increase funds to those states which are willing to decrease tuition fees for state universities and college, once federal revenue is increased through the new taxation system.
NCL promises to create a Federal Plan of Sustainable Energy, consisting on increasing the research and investment of green energy. The aim of the federal plan is to reduce as much as possible the dependency on fossil energy.
On foreign policy, it is not expected big changes in Morgen administration foreign policy, which combines a pragmatical defense of Nylander interest with a promotion of human rights and liberal democracy abroad. One of the key ideas of Morgen presidency is that international trade both benefit the Nylander economic but helps to strengthen peace and regional stability. Her administration has improve relations with many Brigidnan countries and it is already negotiating trade deals with WBEA, Mordvania, and other countries. Morgen believes tha this only strengthen Nylander interests but they will help economic growth at home, creating thousands of jobs at home during the next decades.
President Morgen has declared that her administration has showed that it is possible to promote democracy and human rights in a pragmatist but efficient way. She argues that the sanctions issued against Svarna Surya and Akitsu has helped to stop the spread of authoritarianism in the continent, and they are not likely to be lifted if they are not further changes inside those countries. Morgen believes that Nyland has the responsability to promote the ideas and values that founded our republic, but she expects that her administration will be more focused on constructive diplomacy in her second term as president.
Political/Campaign History: Morgen, 55, was a leading member of the Green Party, before leaving the party and joining NCL in 1568. He was elected MP that year for the Tynning-Campus constituency, and she has remained a member of the Nyland Assembly from that year until 1576, active in many parliamentary committees, and becoming Speaker of the New Centrist Group in late 1573. She was also First Secretary of the New Centrist List from 1570 to 1573, before being elected as General Secretary of NCL in 1573, replacing Helga Myhre.
She was officially nominated and endorsed as presidential candidate in early 1574 by the Citizens' Assembly of the New Centrist Alliance. In 1576, she was unexpectedly elected President of the Republic, defeating the NL candidate, Andreas Liljeström, by once points.
