UKWF CHAIRMAN JOSEPH HILL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT, PARTY CONGRESS TO BE HELD
The longtime chairman of the UKWF, Joseph Hill, has announced his retirement today, amidst a flurry of rumors of failing health. He intends to serve the remainder of his term and retire after the next election cycle. Having lead the party since the passing of the legendary Leon Steele, he managed to preserve a mostly united front for the party for nearly 50 years. In response to this announcement, the leadership council of the UKWF has planned a party congress to be held to determine his successor. Most analysts expect the winner to come from the ranks of either Hill’s own Moderate or the Radical Wings, represented by Jack Browder and Earl Sinclair respectively. However, an emerging sect of the party has captured the attentions (and concerns) of both Party Members and Outsiders alike, the Revolutionary Wing. Their stated goals being the general abstention from Party Politics in favor of building support for a general uprising and increased organization of labor, many believe their views to be far too radical to gain much traction. Leading this faction is a young party upstart, Upton Reid.
