In the aftermath of that event some of the key members of the Liberation Party brought their amassed funds and joined the Liberal Party. Overtime it became to new political home of the anti-monarchist. There are still some “classic liberals” in the party but they no longer represent the party’s leadership. In recent years the party has positioned itself as the champion of the poor and managed to stake out a pivotal role in Parliament. With the loss of the majority support in Parliament for the Queen’s close political ally and Prime Minister, Lord John Enoch, the Liberal Party became the key to maintaining the majority that kept him in charge of the government. In exchange they were given a seat in the cabinet. The Ministry of Defense is now controlled by Lady Hilda Slike. Analysts believe the coalition government formed by the Crown Loyalist, Conservative Association, and Liberal parties will not last because their political ideologies are diametrically apposed.

She was elevated to baroness after the destruction of the Liberation Party and has been an avowed liberal ever since. During the most recent fight in parliament to maintain Lord John Enoch as Prime Minister the Liberal Party lent support to the Prime Minister in exchange for a seat on his cabinet. As the cousin of Lord Jonnas Slike the new leader of the Liberal Party it was a forgone conclusion that she would get the cabinet seat. Her administration of the Ministry of Defense has been marked by controversy. Her liberal ideologies have led to resignations by key members of the Royal Guard and Royal Marines, including one Lord Commander. Ideological concerns led to a firestorm over the naming of the latest ship in the Royal Marine order of battle. As a stipulation for signing off on the purchase of the ship she required an unprecedented break with tradition. Normally all Royal Marine assault scouts are named for birds of prey but the latest ship was christened as a medical ship and named Nightingale in keeping with the Minister’s ideologies.
