Engleshire To Hold Elections in Wartime

Posted Image

Engleshire is set to organize its first set of elections since the creation of the Republic. With tensions high from the war and the advance on Sarnia, many expect a heavy swing towards rightist parties, with naturally strong military policies. The election and its implications will surely stress the limits of strength for a new government, the next party is expected to come along with its own solution to the war at hand. Prime Minister Martin Weir is said to not be running in the election, for medical reasons. Analysts say the toils of war have effected our former Head of State out of re-running, a rumor that has not been confirmed by any sources.

The election will be executed according to the new amendments passed by the Council of Representatives just some months ago:

Amendment
 
The nation is split into 20 provinces, each one electing a Governor, who oversees the governance of their province, and a Representative, who represents the province in the capital. The Head of State, the Premier, is elected from the Council of Representatives; the Head of Government, the Prime Minister, is chosen according to the party with the most seats in the Council.


Bradley Wilkins, ENC

Engleshire Democrats Gain Majority, George Henry now Prime Minister

Posted Image

The votes are in and the country has declared George Henry and the Engleshire Democrat Party as the new leaders of our government! Moments after the announcement was made, Prime Minister Henry declared that the people have spoken and his party's first act will be to institute a wartime tax and general draft for all males aged over 16 to fight in the war against the oppressive, tyrannical invaders from the west. He also announced that he would be having a meeting with Acting President Tanner Wilkes of Celtus to discuss their high level of involvement in the war and the future of Shirefolk-Celtan relations.

Official results are below:
