It seems Lady Rose Crawford, wife of Minister Ray Crawford, is still struggling to adjust to life in Orthuran. A foreigner from Bolton, a country with a culture vastly different from ours, she recently sparked controversy once again with an inappropriate comment regarding a labor strike. (See Issue No. 1905-280 of this publication for details.) Lady Rose has long been unable to hide her excessive pride in her homeland, Bolton. Even war could not slow Minister Crawford’s rise in approval ratings, but Lady Rose Crawford has managed to do so. A recent survey conducted among loyal readers of the Daily Oakley Review shows that the minister’s favorability rating has dropped by more than 10 percent since the last poll. Considering the previous survey was conducted before his marriage, the reason for this decline is clear. A member of the Conservative Party has expressed serious concern over the situation. They said that it is becoming increasingly difficult to present Minister Crawford as the face of the party, given the public’s disapproval of his marriage and the frequent scandals that have followed. Whether Ray Crawford, once one of the nation’s most beloved politicians, can avoid the disgrace of being remembered as a man who made the wrong marriage out of infatuation remains to be seen. – John Donald, Daily Oakley Review
