The Old Right Rising
Excerpt from cover story from The Nyland Post

Karl-Gustav Halvstad stands in a small pub, drinking amongst close friends after retiring from work as a high school teacher. This forty-six year old biology teacher in the small town of Vertöcke may seem an unlikely leader of a political revival, but that would be where you are wrong.

Born in a working class family, Halvstad was nurtured in rather normal nuclear family. After attending college part-time, while working full time as a restaurant cook, the Lockhardt native become a teacher at a St. Sven’s Sentric School. His faith remained important, as he married his high school sweetheart Erika. He is also a father of three, and he would also add his Nerysian Shepard as a child too, if asked.

For most of his life he voted for the NL, completely content with the politics of Nyland and its future. But when the PCP began to force the NL to sway slightly more to the center, coupled with the rise of the CDA, Karl-Gustav began a career in politics. First as a member of the local council, to eventually becoming a member of the state legislature. By 1596, Halvstad began to place himself on the national stage. Karl-Gustav would, at times, appear on news broadcasts as well as debates between opponents. His way of speaking formally and tongue in cheek at times began to attract an audience online, and improve his visibility. A month after the elections in 1596, the biology teacher announced the re-establishment of the NUI alongside donors from small and large businesses alike, as well as support from the NRF.

Speaking to donors and friends alike, Karl-Gustav said, “The re-establishment of this party will lead to great things, as well as save our descendants from a life of burden under the CDA.”

The new manifesto by the NUI remains much of the same as the old platform, albeit, dropping the gay marriage platform for “more important issues”, showing a lax on the social issue. However the party seems to remain much farther to the right than the NL, NKR, or PCP. Another new addition to the NUI also makes it clearly distinct from the PCP and NL. A clear position on government intervention into the economy. In the same speech speaking to donors, Karl-Gustav stated, “There is a time and place where the government must step in. No, not to create a money pit for a bunch of train track lines that no one would use. No, we’d rather focus the government’s time on the real issue of monopolies, as well as the special interests of those monopolies. My party makes it clear that big business is welcome here, but there must be a limit to how big a company can get.” Halvstad has made it clear that his economic manifesto leans far less neo-conservative and more to the old style conservatism of the 1550’s.

His party’s stance on the environment also aims to get more people interested in knowing more, as the party aims to be more conservationist. A wise choice, given that stepping foot in debate of the hot button issue of climate change can harm voter confidence. The establishment of more national parks, and the government paying hunters to hunt invasive species of animals in the forests like the Carpathian boar aims to please many in the rural areas of the country.
