Foreign Office Press Release[/align][align=right]21st June 2007[/align][/font][/b]Motion of no confidence brought[/SIZE]
On the 19th June 2007, the Honourable Sir Posul KG MP brought a motion of no confidence against the Prime Minister in the House of Commons.
Explaining the reasons that lead him to such an action, Posul accused the Government of being inactive, lacking vision and failing to provide a direction for the region. In his statement, he mentioned in particular that the region, in the last weeks, has seen "a Government which is dead in the water".
Ôhe motion, when originally submitted, had tenuous support. The Right Honourable Fenchurch CBE MP, the Honourable British Allies MBE MP, the Honourable Lethen MBE MP and the the Honourable NatetheGreat MP decided to abstain until the Prime Minister addressed the issue in the House, while the Honourable Sir Klopstock KBE MP opposed the motion, stating that he could not "lay the blame for the region's inactivity on the Government alone". The Honourable Donchatryit MP decided to resign from his MP seat, when the motion was brought, citing as reason the fact that his personal lack of activity in the region did not entitle him to judge the Government on the same issue.
However, two days after the motion was brought, the Right Honourable Windsor-Bainbridge CBE MP, the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland, had yet to make a statement in the House. Observing this, many MPs, namely Klopstock, Lethen and NatetheGreat, changed sides and decided to uphold the motion. The motion was also supported by the Right Honourable Sir North East Somerset KG MP, who also suggested that, should the motion be passed by the House, Posul should be appointed as the new Prime Minister, a suggestion, though, towards which Klopstock expressed his objections.
Several other members of the region have expressed their support for the motion, through the Public Gallery. Namely, the Right Honourable the Earl of Manchester Olde Delaware, the Right Honourable the Earl of Enfield Killtron and the Right Honourable the Viscount of Liverpool The Venerable Vendetta.
The motion had not been submitted for a vote, at the time this report was written. It must be noted that, if the motion is passed by the House of Commons, then the Prime Minister and his Cabinet will be removed, and a new MP will be appointed as the Prime Minister by the King, without new elections being held.
Investiture held in Buckingham Palace[/SIZE]
On the 18th June 2007, His Majesty the King --Great Britain--, in an investiture held in Buckingham Palace, bestowed titles and honours to members of Great Britain and Ireland whose service to the region had been deemed exemplary.
King John of Gililand, already Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford, was raised to Marquess of Winchester, for his continuing contributions from the House of Lord. King John of Gililand is the first ever Marquess to be created, since this title was only introduced in legislation on the 18th May 2007.
Killtron, long standing member of the region, was created by the King Earl of Enfield, for his services to the military and the Empire. He was also raised to the Knighthood as a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. The Venerable Vendetta, former Home Secretary, Colonial Secretary and Minister of Defence, was also ennobled, being made the Viscount of Liverpool. As a consequence of receiving a title, Lords Killtron and Venerable Vendetta have now become members of the House of Lords.
Several honours were also awarded to Commoners: Windsor Bainbridge, currently Prime Minister, for his services during last term as Minister of Community and, in the past, in several other Cabinet positions; Fenchurch, currently Minister of Community, for her exceptional services in the Immigration Office and in various Ministries; and Riddim, currently Home Secretary, for serving as the most successful UN Delegate of Great Britain and Ireland. All of them were made Commanders of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. Last but not least, British Allies was made a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, for his services to Parliament and region.
Awards are bestowed by the Monarch on the nomination of the Cabinet. A majority of the Cabinet needs to vote in favour of a nomination, in order it to be approved.
