| - Dennys Indigo was appointed leader of the Liberal Party after the death of Cristopher Goff. After his appointment to the leadership, Indigo called for a confidence vote among Liberal party members. 51.5% of Liberals were approving of Indigo’s performance while 48.5% disapproved. Dennys Lloyd Indigo called for a leadership vote. He was elected leader in his own right over Michelyne Bryan by 4,393 votes or 0.37%. Pierre Michel Clemens won 82,980 votes of 6.97%. Demetrios Goff won 41,855 votes or 3.52%. He then fired Bryan from the cabinet. Before this, he ran for the Liberal Party’s nominee for Consul. He defeated Tasia Goff by 23%. Kelvin Madison won 19% and Suzanne von Halliwyn won 6%. He negotiated with Consul Oppenheimer to let the Liberals into the cabinet. The Consul accepted and so Indigo appointed three Liberals to the cabinet, one being himself. Penny Smith, a long time Liberal Senator and former Governor of Athosia became Minister of Infrastructure and Transport. Indigo became Minister of Health and Social Services. Barry Goldvogel, a former Revolutionary Democratic Socialist official became Minister of Science and Technology because of his staunchly conservative views. Indigo liked having Liberals with not just liberal views. He resigned as leader in 2461 after the 26 Liberal Senators held a vote of no-confidence. 24 of the Senators voted that they didn’t have confidence in him. The only other Senator to show their support in him was his former rival, Michelyne Bryan. In 2463, Indigo was defeated for reelection to the Senate. He remained in the cabinet; however, he resigned when a new cabinet was formed. He quit politics following his defeat. He became an actor. He starred in the political drama, “Taya”, a movie about former Praetor Taya Charlton. He won numerous awards for his performance. His most notable role however, may have been when he portrayed Jean-Claude Bayrou in “The Man behind the Woman The Jean-Claude Bayrou Story”. He starred in the television show, “Yes, Praetor!” in which he portrayed fictional Praetor Martin Bartlett. He starred as Bartlett for seven years before the show was taken off the air. Indigo was married to Jolinda Wilson; he died in 2534 at the age of 79.
