Lady Galadriël Táralóm nos Círdan is... <Description of character and politics go here.>
Early history
Galadriël emigrated from her homeland to Knootoss during its industrial revolution, eventually becoming a very succesful businesswoman leading her own corporation. She was mostly involved in business life untill the late twentieth century. Seeking new challenges, she went into politics for the Conservative Party which is nowadays known as the RCPK. She sided against Dick Tator during the Shadow War along with another group of disgruntled moderate conservatives and became a member of the RCPK split-off group.
She became as state-secretary of foreign affairs after a political row where she replaced a green state-secretary in an otherwise left-wing SLP/KGP coalition (Van der Laan I - see that entry for reasons behind her appointment.) She was seen as very influential in the Foreign Ministry as state-secretary, often using SLP support for her more conservative foreign policy objectives. She was elected by the RCPK as leader and candidate for Prime Minister in the elections after the van der Laan II cabinet. She managed to win these elections and make the RCPK the largest party in the Knootian parliament.
First nos Círdan administration
After being confirmed as Prime Minister of Knootoss, she formed an SLP/RCPK coalition. Several reforms she made upon entering office directly increased her powers, such as bringing the AIVD directly under the control of the Prime Minister whereas it had previously been assigned to Foreign Affairs and Defence (which was still headed by her former boss Hans van Mierlo). In general, she also supported bids for increases in power by the more neoliberal ministry of economic affairs at the expense of her former boss. An example of this is permitting the widespread establishment of 'Consulates' as 'Economic Affairs' embassies and the establishment of the EIVD.
But the first nos Círdan administration was more notable for its social and political agenda.
- Despite promises, tax increase because of higher defence spending
- Order of the Invisible Hand
- Knootoss leaving UnAPS
- During the One Day War [...] Knootian-Allanean correspondence
- Uneventful elections
Second nos Círdan administration
- New taxation system (link to bloody thread goes here) Decreasing tax, eliminating personal income tax.
