First State Diet Elections

The Home Secretary, Laura Owen, who holds responsibility over local governance, has allocated a large portion of the £3 billion increase in the Home Office budget to the new State Diets established by the National Reform Act 4379. Each State Diet consists of 120 Members, they elect a Speaker and a State Chancellor who chairs a Cabinet consisting of no more than 8 Ministers.

White Rose performed well in the elections, but the Moralists had the best election of any single party, with decent showings in the coastal Archduchies of Geharon and Tinako. White Rose performed well in Yodukan and Utagia, whilst the Hosian Democratic Union did well in Orange.

Royalists Propose White Rose Coalition Government

Deputy Leader of the Royalists, Frederick Stinson, the son of former Chancellor Rebecca and the younger brother of Marquis Alexander, has proposed a full White Rose Coalition Government, in which he would become the Chancellor and Imperial Seal-Bearer as Leader of the largest Party in the Diet by quite a margin. Of course, he is not entitled to take the Weston name as only the eldest male child takes the family name in the Marquessate.

With the dissolution of the Country Party, the White Rose look set to reject a broad Coalition with the Moralists after the election last month saw them take an outright majority.

Image

The Royalists would hold the Departments of; Environment & Tourism, Trade & Industry, Infrastructure & Transport, Education & Culture, the Home Office and the Treasury. The Royalists would lead the Coalition.

The Moderates would hold the Departments of; Science & Technology, Food & Agriculture, Health & Social Services, the Foreign Office, the Justice Department and the MoD. Brandon Kent would be Deputy Chancellor.

Hosian Democratic Union announces Party leadership and platform
12 June 4380

Image
Michael Field, newly selected Chairman of the HDU National Committee

Following the 4380 elections the Hosian Democratic Union (HDU) held a National Organization and Leadership Convention, supporters nationwide were invited to attend and local communities were encouraged to organize and send delegations to the convention. The party decided at the convention to organize in the following manner:
Each Arch-duchy shall be divided into local HDU parties under the leadership of a 3 person Committee, the members of these Committees shall be elected through a vote of all party members in the Arch-duchy every 2 years. The Arch-duchy Leadership Committees shall then convene following each national election to select 3 party members to serve as on the HDU's National Committee. The National Committee shall then select a Chairman from among themselves. The National Committee shall is to have the highest authority in setting national party policy and campaigning priorities.

At their first national convention the Hosian Democrat's surprisingly chose Michael Field to serve as the first Chairman of the Parties National Committee. Mr. Field made waves in national politics when he spoke out against Aldegarian Shah Kurosh. Field reportedly made the decision to leave the Country Party over the leftward direction he felt they were heading and due to his hope that the new Hosian Democrats would truly bring Hosian values into the Imperial Diet.

The Hosian Democratic Union's Convention selected Dr. Thomas Mercer, Morris Thomure, and Michael Field to serve as their National Committee, the Committee went on to unanimously select Field as Chairman. Dr. Thomas Mercer is an author with a doctorate degree in Hosian Theology, his works are known within the religious community for espousing the value of evangelism an the need to convert the believers of Yeudism and Ahmadism to the Hosian faith. Mercer who is now 41 spent the last 20 years writing self-help Hosian books and using much of the proceeds to work with church groups to fund Hosian missionaries abroad. Morris Thomure is a navy veteran and outspoken nationalist (critics say open imperialist), at the core of his beliefs is the idea that Luthori has neglected its Hosian duties and values and this is leading to our inevitable decline.

Near the end of the convention the HDU National Committee announced the parties platform for the next 4 years:

Enforce and Defend the His Imperial Majesty Alexander's claims abroad
End moral deprivation in the Empire
Increase Home Office & Justice Department funding to fight crime
Shrink size and scope of the state, reduce social programs

The Parties newly selected Chairman Field used the closing of the convention as an opportunity to make a short speech in which he once again attacked the "Pretender Shah of Aldegar". Field went farther than his speech last May this time when he called on the White Rose government to introduce a trade embargo on Aldegar and "whatever else it takes" to get them to recognize their rightful and divinely ordained Head of state.

White Rose Coalition Ends as Moderates Abandon Royalists

The majority White Rose Coalition set up in the wake of the last General Election has been ended today as the Moderates abandoned the Coalition to join the Moralists and HDU after just 6 months. The Deputy Leader of the Royalists, who loses his position as Chancellor, has said, 'The Royalists will continue their Diet Agenda, and I will lead the Official Opposition until a new Government comes to power.’

Image

Marquis Alexander Weston, the Governor General, has said the White Rose Alliance remains alive, and he hopes the relationship with the Moderates remains cordial, maybe one day being revived in a Coalition Government. He gave his full support to Mr Stinson, his younger brother, and said he will be a forceful Leader of the Opposition.

A welcome home ceremony has been held in Fort William for the Luthori Olympic Delegation, the majority of political leaders attended, including the Governor General and his wife, Melissa. Luthori won 16 gold, 13 silver and 9 bronze for a haul of 38 medals, compared to the 7 medals the country won in 4360.

The biggest cheers where reserved for Olympic Champions Michael Fellas, Robert Sacks and Harriet Droid who won the men's 100m breaststroke, men's finn and women's 470 respectively. The Luthori Diving Association was also hailed as the biggest winners of the event, bringing home 3 gold and 2 silver. The Luthori National Rugby team returned home as 4380 Olympic Champions and secured additional funding from the Department of Environment and Tourism.

Scott Henderson, the Environment and Tourism Secretary praised all the Luthori athletes who attended and declared it the most successful Olympics in the nations long history. He vowed to ensure more funding to sport and even hinted at World Cup aspirations as Luthori host the next tournament for its national sport.

Marquis Alexander Weston, the Governor General, declared Nowogard 4380 a success. He said, 'We congratulate the Valruzian National Olympic Committee for the fantastic, fair and competitive games they hosted in conjunction with the Terran Olympic Association. We reject all accusations of foul-play, and believe the games were conducted in a legal, proper and unquestionable way, any allegations of fixing are merely sour-grapes and unsubstantiated smears against all who participated.

Diet Abolish Tariffs and Quotas on Imports

The Imperial Diet have voted to terminate all import tariffs and quotas, implementing the national free-trade policy and welcoming & allowing consumers to import goods from all over Terra without constraint.

The Luthori Policy Reform Agency reports that industries such as car manufacturing would benefit from the abolition of tariffs on components coming from outside Luthori, while consumers would benefit from the increased competition from international brands, theoretically driving down prices.

Image

The Royalist Shadow Secretary for Trade and Industry, Nicholas Wilkes, said, 'Attempting to protect industries through tariffs prevents sectors from innovating and may harm consumers, with national free-trade, we allow everyone to make a choice and every business to get the materials, equipment and goods they need without restrictive or even crippling tariffs or restrictions. We had the opportunity to set ourselves free from the protectionist approach to the benefit of British consumers and our economy, we took it.'

White Rose Coalition Reformed After Moralists Betray Moderates

Deputy Leader of the Royalists, Frederick Stinson, is Chancellor and Imperial Seal-Bearer once more after the White Rose Alliance reformed their Coalition Government. The move comes after the Moralists, who had set up a Coalition with the Moderates and the HDU, tried to push the Moderates out of power, inviting the Royalists into a Coalition whilst giving themselves the Head of Government office, an offer the Royalists rejected. The new Coalition is the 3rd Government in 2 years, but is a repeat of the first.

Mr Stinson announced that Brandon Kent of the Moderates was now the Vice Chancellor of the Holy Luthori Empire and that the White Rose Alliance continued to fight for Luthori dominance. He promised the legislative agenda which the Party launched in the 2 years since the election would continue for the rest of the term, guaranteeing multiple new bills would be presented in the coming months and that they had learnt from their year in Opposition.

The Royalists hold the Departments of; Trade & Industry, Science & Technology, Food & Agriculture, the Home Office and the Treasury.

The Moderates hold the Departments of; Environment & Tourism, Infrastructure & Transport, Education & Culture, Health & Social Services, the Foreign Office, the Justice Department and the MoD.
