Knobhead wants to abolish Central Committee

Up until now Knobhead has been playing catch-up behind The Orchid in the race to be the next DDS Commander but now he has presented some proposals for changing the governance of the DDS which The Orchid has yet to address. Knobhead says he will abolish the Central Committee which currently discusses DDS issues with the commander and replace it with an elected assembly.

"I want to bring greater democracy to the DDS. People should not be in positions of influence just because they have been around for a long time. Whether in the military or civilian sectors of the DDS influence should be a reward of achievement. I will bring a spirit of meritocracy to the DDS." he told supporters at a rally on Liberation.

The Orchid said that her regime would have achievement and merit at it's core but the Central Committee was a solid and reliable institution that was the bedrock of the DDS and should not be replaced by a potentially chaotic assembly.
