Monarchists Celebrate with Re-Election with Reduced MajorityForeign Affairs Minister and incoming Prime Minister Joshua Woodbury
Former Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau; ooc; https://smartcdn.prod.postmedia.digital ... au-1-2.pngThe Monarchist Party of Hutori is celebrating tonight as it was relected with a second majority mandate following the 4879 elections. The 4879 Elections saw the retirement of Prime Minister Donald Carmichael, who felt he had accomplished his singular mandate to reestablish Hutori's Monarchy. After a quick leadership race prior to the election, Joshua Woodbury, Carmichael's venerable most loyal lieutenant, Deputy Leader, and Foreign Minister was elected on the first ballot. This election was Hutorian's first attempt at judging the first term of Monarchists rule, and while there was some fear, as the Republicans garnered victories across the country, it was still enough for the Monarchists to retain their majority mandate, albeit without their first term supermajority, and still win clear majority victories in four of Hutori's five provinces, outside of normally conservative Adelia. Political analysts note the loss of the supermajority isn't a loss for the Monarchists persay, as this may simply have been the Hutorian people acknowledging that their job was done in giving the Monarchist their Constitutional Supermajority, and still trust them in the driver's seat, something incoming Prime Minister is likely thankful for.
With his election to the country's top job, Prime Minister Woodbury has announced several small but notable changes to his front bench. Clarissa Simmonds, the Minister of International Trade, Industry and Economic Development has been transferred to the Foreign Affairs file, Finance Minister Ashley Drumf has been moved to Simmond's old job, while Paul Lanzig, the former Finance Minister of Adelia and the new Member of Parliament for Prosperity Oceanview has been tapped as the new Finance Chief for Hutori. Woodbury has promised a new budget within the first six months he'll be in office.
Royal Wedding!Crowds of the well wishers watching the Royal Wedding Carriage take the King and Queen back to Steuart House

The ceremony took place at Saint Mary's Cathedral in Bekenial, not fair away from Newport Castle. The ceremony was surprising small and intimate, despite it's huge symbolism, apparently at the request of the King and his now wife. Despite how small the ceremony was, being attending only by the familes of the King and now Queen Consort Amelia, tens of thousands of Hutorians flocked to the streets of Bekenial to watch the Royal Carriage take the newlyweds from the Cathedral to Steuart House, the official residence in Bekenial of the Royal Family.
The King and Queen Consort are apparently going to spend their honeymoon in Lourenne, visiting Prince Georges at the Royal Family's given estate in Bellemont, before travelling to Dolgava to allow the King's family to meet his new wife. This will happen shortly after King William X formally opens Parliament, having already met with incoming Prime Minister Joshua Woodbury and inviting him to continue forming a government in his name.
