[align=center]Fenchurch Ministry Formed
Fenchurch arrives at 10 Downing Street following her appointment as Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland[/align]
Following the conclusion of the most recent General Election on 30 June, the House of Commons unanimously nominated the Rt. Honourable Fenchurch as having their support for her to be appointed Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland. Following a delay of some significance between the conclusion of the House of Common's process, His Majesty --Great Britain-- officially appointed Fenchurch as Prime Minister on 7 July 2007. Fenchurch becomes the first female prime minister of Great Britain and Ireland, and wasted no time by appointing her cabinet only hours after kissing hands with the Monarch. The new cabinet of Great Britain and Ireland, after weeks of going without one, is as follows:
Prime Minister- Fenchurch
Deputy Prime Minister & First Sea Lord- North East Somerset
Home Secretary- Olde Delaware
Foreign Secretary- Klopstock
Minister of Community- Donchatryit
The Fenchurch Government sees the return of both Olde Delaware and Klopstock to cabinet after sustained absences, with Olde Delaware having spent a good part of a year in the House of Lords. It also sees the continuation of the long serving veteran North East Somerset as Deputy Prime Minister, and the entrance of relative GB&I newcomer Donchatryit to the executive. The new government faces an enormous and critical task of rejuvenating a region which has been increasingly ill and inactive over the past many months and especially so over the last one and a half.

The 14th General Election of Great Britain and Ireland was an eventful process which saw many new faces stand and significant competition for the 11 seats which make up the Great British and Irish House of Commons. Overall, 14 candidates stood for the Commons, and due to a recent change in the electoral system, a tie for the eleventh seat left it vacant, resulting a a House of 10 Members of Parliament, with a by-election called by the newly appointed Prime Minister Fenchurch.
