PM to face no-confidence vote from his party
"They'll have to drag me out"Luthorian Prime Minister George Bittersmith is facing a no-confidence vote in the coming days after a series of failed legislation, including a proposed paramilitary task force which would have personally been overseered by the PMO.
Bittersmith has promised to fight on but if he loses the vote he will be out of the top job and a contest to replace him will begin.
The no-confidence vote was triggered after a growing number of parliamentarians in the governing coalition questioned Bittersmith's authority following a series of controversial bills that he failed to pass.
At least 20 percent of RFE members of parliament have to write letters demanding a confidence vote to the chairman of the party to trigger a no-confidence vote.
Just now, Vice-Chairman Ronald V. Smithers said: “The threshold of 20 percent has been broken.” He added that a vote would be held very soon.
BREAKING NEWS
It's now being widely reported that the reason why the National Conservatives Bloc were booted from the coalition was a personal falling out between PM Bittersmith and Home Secretary O'Neal, specifically in regards on the failure of the PMO to inform the Home Office of the plan to establish a paramilitary.
O'Neal was furious to be not included on these talks and obviously his bloc voted no on the proposal, which left Bittersmith fuming with his allies.
This act is why even his own once hardline supporters have also begun their quest to remove him from power.
