General Election produces new Government


On the 18th May 2007, the General Election for the fourteenth Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland were held. After two weeks of intense campaigning and a competitive election, the following candidates were elected MPs to sit in the House of Commons for the next term:

British Allies
donchatryit
Fenchurch
Klopstock
Lethen
Natethegreat
North East Somerset
Posul
Riddim
The DART
Windsor-Bainbridge

It must be noted that this was the first election to be held since the enactment of the amendments in the electoral system regarding the issue of ties occurring between candidates.

On the announcement of the results, the House of Commons assembled to proceed with the election of the new Prime Minister. After a fruitful debate, His Majesty the King, --Great Britain--, in the customary State Opening of the Parliament, marked the commencement of this session of the Parliament and appointed the House's preferred candidate, the Rt Hon Windsor-Bainbridge OBE MP, as the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland.

The new Prime Minister announced the following Cabinet,

Prime Minister: Windsor-Bainbridge
Home Secretary: Fenchurch
Foreign Secretary: r3naissanc3r
First Sea Lord: North East Somerset
Minister of Community: Riddim

This is the first time a member of the House of Lords is appointed to the Cabinet, since the Lords in Cabinet Act 2006, in May 2006, allowed such appointments.

Great Britain and Ireland is looking forward to a productive and prosperous term. A more extended coverage of the General Election will be included in the forthcoming Foreign Dispatch.


A production of the Foreign Office of Great Britain and Ireland.

Your regular Ambassador is currently on vacations. So, until he returns, I shall replace him in his duties.

It is nice to be back here! I was the one that originally applied for this Embassy, when Judith Gap was still the Minister of Foreign Affairs (and it was him who gave me the star I carry on my signature). That's quite long ago B) .

Always good to see you r3naissanc3r!
Thanks for the update and congrats on the Foreign Secretary position.

Thanks for the update r3naissanc3r! Sounds like you had a really interesting election. Conrats on your selection as Foreign Secretary.

Thank you both for your kind comments.

:congratz:

I second that !!!!!!

Many thanks for the update, and congratulations on your new appointment.

Ah, thank you all :D .

You shall be receiving a (much longer) update, as soon as our new Foreign Dispatch is finished.

Sounds good.

You might want to post it on our new forums when it's ready. I'm afraid you'll have to re-register, though, we couldn't find a way to transfer membership over.

Have they been officially opened? Or are you still using these ones?

Nice banner Al :P


We have indeed moved forum, they've been open a couple of days (though the post count would state otherwise :o )
