Region: Empire of Great Britain
Could the United Colonies of Menorica claim Hawaii?
Saint Arsenio would like to claim the United States. Menorica may have Hawaii if they wish to. Also, why don't we keep the current Imperial Map?
How many land claims can we make? I'm asking because I would like to claim another Country, along with the United States (with the exception of Hawaii)
Menorica has a new flag, As it changes it's Government Institution from Colonial to Colonial Unitary.
The United Colonies of Menorica. United Colonies of Menorica still remains under British Rule with Empress Victoria as Queen of Menorica.
I would advise contacting the Minister for Home Affairs, Not-Brittania, directly via telegram when regarding claiming land Imperial Map, or any other queries you may have about it.
Hello, all.
We are indeed updating the regional map to accommodate the new arrivals in the region. If there are no objections, we'll use a modern world map, and we'll keep it to one country per person for now, however we may open it up to two at some point. Countries will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis, and I will let you know if the country you have requested is unavailable.

Would you guys still consider a website once the region is off from an absolute monarchy and Her Majesty's Government reopens?
Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Eripolis
I saw the House of Commons and I think the Senate, by the way. Where's the House of Lords?
Edit: forgot to clarify that my question is off topic. Sorry for that and for any inconveniences or annoyances caused.
I believe this is a wonderful idea. I support it. Also, how do you guys feel about a "Regional Bank?" It could be combined into our role playing.
Menorica, Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Eripolis
We have a unicameral Parliament, with the only legislative chamber being the House of Commons. Currently, we could not support a second chamber, elected or otherwise, as our population is too small.
I will publish a draft of the new Constitution on Sunday. This public consultation will last through the week. It is my hope we can put a new Constitution to a public referendum by the beginning of July.
To tease the draft ... all Members of Parliament will be elected, the Crown will have a veto power which can be overturned by the Commons and Parliament will be able to dissolve itself in order to hold fresh elections. More to follow.
Saint Arsenio, Eripolis, Azimtu, British Argentina
I too believe an off-site forum would be a wonderful innovation for our Empire.
Saint Arsenio, Eripolis, Azimtu
Sorry for the late response. I mustve overlooked this notice.
As of now Im doing good.
Dragons Of Power, Eripolis
Every citizen should have received a copy of the unfinished, draft Constitution. I encourage everyone to read it and provide feedback.
Lunayria, Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Eripolis, Azimtu
All regional map claims must be submitted by FRIDAY, JULY 5TH. The map will be released on the following Sunday. Countries that have been taken are:
-New Zealand
-Saudi Arabia
-Russia
-USA
-Germany
-UK

Could the United Colonies of Menorica claim the Former Kingdom of Hawaii?
Eripolis
Well, I'm off. Back to drifting from region to region.
Oh, and the draft of the Constitution is looking promising, Her Majesty Queen Victoria. I can now predict the final draft will come soon (at least 2 revisions more) and will need no further reworking.
God save the queen!
British Argentina
I believe so.
I have returned, everyone. I broke my laptop charger last week, and it just came in the mail a few hours ago.
United Provinces Emissary, British Argentina
When can we expect the next draft of the Constitution?
Menorica
Hopefully tomorrow.
Menorica
Your Majesty, Was the draft of the next Constitution shown?
Lunayria, United Provinces Emissary, Saint Arsenio
I'd like to claim Argentina on the Map if this is alright.
Celtic Britain is now fully part of the Empire Of Great Britain! I believe Her Majesty Queen Victoria should appoint a second Prime Minister to govern the lands. The Prime Minister of this Region would still be the Prime Minister, but the Second one would just help to Govern the Second Region. Does anyone agree?
How is every nation doing? I apologise for being absent for the past few weeks.
Saint Arsenio
No problem.
British Argentina
Hello Everyone. This is the puppet Nation of Saint Arsenio. We need to act quickly, and send an appointed Leader to Celtic Britain to be endorsed by one or two other WA Nations to become the WA Delegate of the Region.
Days Before The Reopening Of HM Government --- Once the Government reopens, Could Menorica re-serve as Recruitment Secretary?
Lunayria
Democracy is on its deathbed in this region. I am considering my position as a citizen of this Empire very carefully. I advise everyone else to do likewise.
Do not worry. Democracy will be restored soon.
On the contrary, democracy will soon be given a new breath of life in this Empire. It is my aim to deliver the new Consitution for the review of the electorate by Monday.
Its been an incredibly difficult task, but the end is now in sight.
Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Azimtu, British Argentina
[According To Regional History Record, July 28th, 2019] Today, This region marks 1 year of being in service, When i first became WA Delegate it was a very wonderful experience. Being in this region aswell. Originally Menorica was supposed to be part of the British Commonwealth Of Free States, But the region had fallen. The very next day then arose the world-famous, Empire of Great Britain. To mark this 1-year anniversary, I toast to the region, I give out a famous Patriotic quote from a very well-known man.
"We shall fight on the seas and oceans, We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, We shall defend our island, Whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, We shall fight on the landing grounds, We shall fight in the fields and in the streets, We shall fight in the hills; We shall never surrender!"
Happy Birthday To The Empire Of Great Britain, God Bless The Empire of Great Britain, AND GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!

Saint Arsenio, Azimtu, British Argentina
What are we going to do about Celtic Britain? My puppet has been there since a few weeks ago, and we need to establish a Government there.
I hereby appoint you as the Governor-General of Celtic Britain until further notice. You are permitted to govern with a puppet.
Saint Arsenio, Menorica
Countrymen, I have decided that in order to ensure the continuity and independence of the Supreme Court without any authoritarian interference, I must join our government-in-exile in the Commonwealth Of Great Britain.
We have waited far too long for our democratic rights and government to be restored to us. I too will only return here once they have been secured indefinitely.
Separatists are traitors to the Empire! I shall allow a 72 hour window of amnesty for those who have rebelled to return without prosecution or punishment.
Should they choose not to, they shall be permanently banned from the Empire and all her dominions for life.
Saint Arsenio, Azimtu
I have sent a plea to the Empress requesting the immediate restoration of democratic rule in the Empire to end this sad rift in our once proud Empire.
I implore the citizenry of the Empire to join me in a petition calling for an immediate restoration of the Constitution and a general election.
Colfax County, Menorica
A general election for what?
Depends on the outcome of the constitution, either for the Premiership or the House of Commons.
Loyal Citizens,
Democratic rule will soon be restored to the Empire Of Great Britain under a new and improved Constitution.
However, the number one priority of the Empire at this time must be to squash the separatist rebellion which threatens the security and unity of our great home.
Until further notice, I have secured our borders and banned the separatists followers from the Empire. Should they surrender, I will remove their bans and allow them back to the Empire without any serious reprecussions.
I am not unfair. Nor am I unreasonable.
Yours faithfully,
Empress of the Empire Of Great Britain
Menorica, Azimtu
I second this.
Congratulations to Menorica on his appointment as the Minister for Culture. He has always shown a great enthusiasm for British culture and has consistently promoted it within the Empire.
I am confident that he will continue to enthuse our people and promote the best our culture has to offer.
Yours faithfully,
Saint Arsenio, Azimtu
Her Majesty Presents The Imperial Constitution ...
Loyal Citizens,
Finally, after much hard work, I am happy to present the latest draft of the new Imperial Constitution for the consideration of my subjects. You will find it pinned to the WFE.
I implore you all to read it and offer any feedback you can, so that we may quickly improve and finalise the document. Please offer as much constructive feedback as you can - it will only help.
It is my hope we can ratify the new Constitution by way of public referendum within the next few weeks. I promised a return to a democratic way of government and I fully intend to keep my promise.
Faithfully yours,
Saint Arsenio, Menorica
Greetings again, if possible could someone provide a briefing of what has been going on the past few weeks?
Minister,
In short;
A separatist movement declared their independence from the Empire. The separatists were banned and the Empire password protected until the rebellion is squashed.
A new draft of the Imperial Constitution has been shared and I am seeking feedback from all loyal citizens.
Not-Brittania has been appointed Chief Minister of the Council of Ministers until a democratic government is restored.
Saint Arsenio has been appointed as my heir and is now His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales.
Aim is to ratify Imperial Constitution, appoint new Prime Minister and hold elections for the House of Commons by first week in September.
Menorica, Azimtu
Her Majesty Presents a Declaration of Amnesty ...
I hereby declare a full amnesty for any citizen of the Empire who has participated in any form of rebellion against the Crown or Her Majestys Government.
Upon the adoption of our new Constitution, we must focus on uniting as one people and healing the political divisions which have divided us in recent times.
We will only succeed as a region once we have achieved this reconciliation. We must not allow our differences to impede the great potential of our growing Empire.
Faithfully yours,
Not-Brittania, Menorica, Azimtu
Fellow Citizens,
I am hugely satisfied that I have been able to return to the Empire with the promise that our constitutional democracy will soon to restored and renewed.
I do not have any regrets about my decision to leave when I did, as I believe it served its ultimate goal and helped break the stalemate which existed for so many weeks and months here.
I bear no ill will towards any citizen who disagreed with my decision to leave, nor with anyone whom I may have exchanged heated words with. I sincerely hope we can reestablish our democratic institutions as soon as feasibly possible.
Many regards,
Colfax County, Not-Brittania
Loyal Citizens to the Empire,
Saint Arsenio is glad to hear that one of the rebels has returned, however I do not believe their actions should go unpunished. What they did was considered treason against the Empire, and they knew this.
I'd like to hear all thoughts on my suggestion, as it ultimately comes down to Her Majesty.
Sincerely,
Menorica
If you are here to continue to be loyal under Her Majesty Queen-Empress Victoria's reign, Recite The Anthem For Queen And Region......ONLY....
https://youtu.be/ilsY48zbPTM?t=7
Saint Arsenio
I understand how you must feel. However, Her Majesty did declare a full amnesty for us rebels - which clearly means no further punishment or criminal action will be taken against us.
I will not be reciting the National Anthem on the RMB, as I am under no legal obligation to do so to regain my citizenship. I will always be a loyal citizen in a democratic Empire.
Many regards,
Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain
Let us not put any barriers in the way of reconciliation. Her Majesty is correct. The time for division is over. We must unite now in order to ratify this new Constitution and return our democratic government.
This is the most important thing. Nothing else should detract our attention and energies from it.
Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Menorica
A promise of total amnesty was given to The Founding Father and United Provinces Emissary, and as Chief Minister of Her Imperial Majesty's Government I am glad that Her Majesty has acted with "malice toward none, and charity for all."
The Founding Father
Fellow Citizens and Members of the House of Commons,
Please find a referendum above on the adoption of our new constitution. Should the new constitution be adopted, an election for the seven seats in Parliament will be held shortly afterwards, with the goal of having a full cabinet and House by the start of the Autumn Session.
All citizens and members of the House under the current constitution are eligible to vote.
Lunayria, Menorica, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
Her Majesty Presents the Incorporation of Overseas Territory ...
I am happy to announce today that the British Menorica Isles and Hong Kong Island will soon be officially incorporated as overseas territories of the Empire Of Great Britain.
The Government will announce further details with respect to each territory in the near future. However, it should be noted that both regions expressed their interest in joining us due to their admiration for our Empire.
We warmly welcome all new citizens to the Empire.
Faithfully yours,
Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Uk South West
Hello? Is anyone on? I'm just some random Northern Irish guy from the Monarchist And Democratic Alliance...
Nice to meet you all.
Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
Welcome! Its nice to have you with us here.
Trymdesia
Thank you! I look forward to getting involved with your region, it seems I came at just the right time? Things are only just starting up here again?
Saint Arsenio, Menorica
Welcome to the Empire! We look forward to having you here.
Trymdesia
Thank you!
Saint Arsenio
Amen to everything my colleagues have said. Welcome aboard!
Saint Arsenio, Trymdesia
Is there any way I can get involved here politically? I mean I know I only just got here but maybe I could run to be a MP? Or serve as a justice on the Supreme Court? I would appreciate any help getting my political career kickstarted here :)
Menorica
Ah. You are just like me when I first joined this Region. I began my political career by joining the Prime Ministers Cabinet. When I first joined, the PM was elected, and I was chosen to be part of their cabinet.
I don't know if this helped, but I just wanted to tell you how I got started, and hopefully you could use it to kickstart your political career here!
Menorica, Trymdesia
I welcome you to the region, Trymdesia. Its a pleasure to have you here amongst our numbers. Should the Imperial Constitution be adopted, there will be a number of positions potentially available to you, including:
Prime Minister
Home Secretary
Foreign Secretary
War Secretary
Member of the House of Commons x 7
President of the Supreme Court
Deputy Justice of Supreme Court x 2
*Deputy Prime Minister and Speaker of the House is required to be selected from amongst this number as well.
Thats fourteen individual positions by my count. Seven elected and seven appointed. It will be most interesting to find out if we are up to the task of filling all of them without creating a lot of double mandates ...
Trymdesia
That's a nice selection.
I'll see what my options are when the constitution comes into effect, thank you for supplying this to me though I'll copy and paste it somewhere...
The Founding Father, Saint Arsenio
Greetings again, Seeing that we have lost a few members of the Royal Navy over the past few months I am asking anyone who is interested in joining to send me a telegram stating so.
The previous list of nations in the Royal Navy has been deleted so if you were a previous member please state if you would like to continue participating in the Navy. A new member list will be created as soon as I have received requests to join.
I would also suggest that WA members and Members of the Government wishing to join/re-join the navy to use a puppet nation.
Thank you for reading,
Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio
I will continue to serve in our Royal Navy. Ill use my puppet nation Sovereign British Isles
Lunayria, Saint Arsenio
I will continue to serve in the Royal Navy through Hms Not-Brittania

Hi just got back into nation states after about 3 years away, is anyone on?

Yes hello!
I'll let the others do the explaining...
As I got here yesterday.
What brings you here?
Saint Arsenio
Just fancied joining a smaller region that what i was in years ago,plus being from the UK a British themed one made sense
Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Trymdesia
Oh that's cool.
Where abouts are you from?
I'm from Londonderry in Northern Ireland.
Saint Arsenio, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
Powys, Wales
Saint Arsenio, Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Trymdesia
We welcome you both to the Empire.
In the next few days, a new government and Parliament will begin to take shape. I sincerely hope you will both play a part as we enter into a new era of stability and progress.
Faithfully yours,
Colfax County, Gwerncyned, Not-Brittania, Menorica, Trymdesia
As we come together as a region once more again, I celebrate one more time with The Anthem, Except this time more honourable and loyal than celebrational.

Appointment of Prime Minister
As per the Imperial Constitution, I hereby appoint Not-Brittania as the Prime Minister of the Empire Of Great Britain and invite him to form a government in my name.
The Prime Minister is a dedicated and loyal citizen who has an abundance of experience working within government as Home Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister in previous premierships.
He has my utmost confidence and I wish him the best of luck in his new position. I request the Prime Minister name his Cabinet at his earliest convenience.
Faithfully yours,
Colfax County, Gwerncyned, Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, British Hong Kong Island, Trymdesia
The Best of luck and Congratulations to Not-Brittania in his New role as Prime Minister!
Colfax County, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
I, too would like to Congratulate our new Prime Minister Not-Brittania! I wish you nothing but the best of luck! We believe in you.
Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Menorica, Her Majesty Queen Victoria, British Hong Kong Island
Hong Kong Island sends their best wishes to the people of the Empire Of Great Britain and Not-Brittania! I hope our governments can work together to ensure a good political relationship, I would also like to invite the new PM to have a look at the Royal Instructions so they can be aware of the Hong Kong Island's status within the Empire.
Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
Will the elections for the House of commons be fairly soon as the next parliamentary session starts on the 1st September?
Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
The elections for the House of Commons will be organised as soon as feasibly possible. Hopefully before September 1st.
I encourage anyone who wishes to run for Parliament to make a formal announcement after the Prime Minister has announced his Cabinet
As per the Imperial Consitution, as the population is currently below forty nations - citizens may serve both as as Secretary of State and Member of the House.
Faithfully yours,
Gwerncyned, Lunayria, Saint Arsenio
Thank you, Your Majesty for your prompt response
Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
Thank you to all who have sent their congratulations. I hope that I can repay their trust in full in time.
As to my cabinet, I would like to ask:
Lunayria to continue in his long service as Secretary of State for War and to take the office of Deputy Prime Minister. No one knows the workings of the Royal Navy better than he, and I am certain that his long government experience would ensure his ability to act in my place in my absence.
Menorica to take up the office of Secretary of State for Home Affairs. I am confident that his tenures as Minister for Culture and as Recruitment Secretary have prepared him to manage our immigration system and regrow our regional population to new heights.
Colfax County to assume the mantle of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. As a former Prime Minister, he has the experience necessary to manage our region's diplomatic growth and build on the legacy of the Prince of Wales and The Founding Father in that office.
Other appointments to offices such as the Culture Ministry will follow after parliamentary elections.
I would ask the candidates to inform me of their acceptance or polite declinal via telegram as soon as possible so that we can begin the election process.
The parliamentary constituencies are Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Northern England, The Midlands, Eastern England, and Southern England. I would invite candidates to declare themselves on the RMB stating their name, chosen constituency, and their agenda. I will compile a dispatch of candidates and their platforms and pin it to the World Factbook at the top of the page. We will aim to start elections as soon as possible, so I would request that candidates declare ASAP.
Warm regards,
Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Her Majesty Queen Victoria, British Hong Kong Island, Trymdesia
The United Colonies of Menorica would proudly like to serve as Secretary of State for Home Affairs under Her Majesty's Government. Thank You, Prime Minister.
Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Her Majesty Queen Victoria
Name: Trymdesia
Constituency: Northern Ireland
Agenda:
I would like to run as MP for Northern Ireland because while I am new to the region, I have a great knowledge and understanding of international politics. I came to the Empire Of Great Britain because I am at heart a conservative and a unionist, I hail from Londonderry in Northern Ireland and I consider myself British. If elected I promise to represent the people of the Empire Of Great Britain in government, I specialise on Home Affairs and Internal Security. I can also promise this region that I will always be honest and tell the truth, even if it costs me severely. I will scrutinise the Government at every turn and will make sure that my constituents concerns are conveyed. I would also like to thank you all for such a great welcome, and I very much look forward to meeting you all and getting involved in your community.
Thank you.
God Save Her Majesty Queen Victoria!
God Save the Empire Of Great Britain!
Gwerncyned, Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio
Name: Gwerncyned
Constituency: Wales
Agenda:
I would like to declare my interest to stand as a candidate in the upcoming general election for the constituency of Wales. I am myself a Welsh resident who has a good knowledge of Welsh issues such as the conservation and promotion of the Welsh language. I was taught Welsh during my school years and have continued to use Welsh in my adult life. I am also a Historian and would be interested in creating an official history of the region if one does not exist already. Being a new member to the region I have noticed the great welcome that new members to the region have received. I would love to promote this as an MP. In terms of my political views I am a Democratic socialist, as well as this I believe that the union, the monarchy and the new constitution should be preserved in order to bring about a new period of stability within the Empire.
I would like to end with the Welsh national anthem:
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i fi.
Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.

Colfax County has agreed to serve as Foreign Secretary during this session.
Colfax County, Saint Arsenio
Any remaining candidates for any of the parliamentary seats should declare as SOON AS POSSIBLE.
We will move forward with elections for those seats that have ANY candidates declared by Wednesday.
Saint Arsenio, Menorica
Name: The Founding Father
Constituency: Scotland 🏴
Candidacy Statement:
Today, I proudly declare my candidacy for the constituency of Scotland for the upcoming elections to the House of Commons.
Many of you will be familiar with my record of public service as I have a long association with the Empire and the former British Commonwealth of Free States. For those who are unfamiliar, I authored our original Constitution and I am the longest serving Foreign Secretary in our history. Most recently, I served as the 2nd Chief Justice of the Supreme Court until the dissolution of the court in June.
Should I be elected, it will be my intention to present bills which further develop our government and community. This would include acts which establish clear practices for royal succession, elections, roleplaying and the Imperial Map among other areas.
I am happy to reply to any telegrams, should any voters seek further information.
Thank you.
Colfax County, Not-Brittania, Menorica
It was a difficult decision to make, but I am delighted to confirm my return to Cabinet Government as the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
I would like to thank the Prime Minister for placing his trust in me. I will do my utmost best to represent the Empire on the world stage and I will work closely with the WA Delegate to ensure our interests abroad remain secure.
Many thanks,
The Founding Father, Not-Brittania, Newtopian Britain, Saint Arsenio, British Hong Kong Island
Name:Newtopian Britain
Constituency:Southern England
Candidacy Statement:
Fellow citizens, I am today declaring my candidacy for the constituency of Southern England. I do this with a great sense of pride and gratitude.
As many of you know I have always taken a keen interest in our regions politics. I served as our very first Speaker of the House of Commons through an admittedly tough, but interesting time, for the region. This role means I have invaluable knowledge and experience of our democratic system that I would be able to utilise effectively if given the opportunity to do so.
I worked very closely within the House of Commons and continuously pushed for progress and change for our region - which I promised in my original campaign for the role. But now I see this role as a new way to provide development for our fine region. This is because I feel we as a region deserve a bit of positivity and prosperity, something which has been missed.
If I am elected I will continue seeking positive change for our citizens, push bills through increasing democracy, increasing freedoms and increasing political participation so that all citizens are able to express their opinions and thoughts on a suitable platform. Likewise, my metaphorical door is always open, as it always shall be, for any and all queries or concerns.
Thank you for your time, I hope I am able to serve this region as well as it has served me,
God Save the Queen!
The Founding Father, Colfax County, Gwerncyned, Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Menorica, Trymdesia
Oh dear lord.
Parliament's literally just been suspended, the queen gave her assent 2 hours ago :0
Colfax County
Its a precarious situation.
In fairness, the Queen didnt have a choice. Queen Elizabeth II is a constitutional monarch and must act on the advice of her Prime Minister and Secretaries of State.
Otherwise, the Queen would trigger a constitutional crisis and chaos would unfold.
Saint Arsenio, Trymdesia
I don't follow British Politics much (I'm an American), but I have since Prime Minister Johnson became Prime Minister. He's been in my news feed a lot lately. I can't really have an opinion on what he's doing because, to be honest, I have no idea what he's doing. (If someone could clear this up for me, that'd be great). I hear he's trying to get the UK to leave the EU. Is this true?
I honestly dont know if Im up to the task of explaining this in full, but Ill try to summarise as best I can.
1. Theresa May, as Prime Minister, negotiated a Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union on how Britain would exit said Union.
2. Theresa May repeatedly failed to gain the support of Parliament for her negotiated deal and lost every vote the House of Commons held on it.
3. Brexit was delayed from March until October 31st 2019. Parliament was split between MPs who wanted a Negotiated Brexit, a No-Deal Brexit and a new referendum on Britains membership of the European Union.
4. Unable to command enough support in the House of Commons to pass the agreement, May announced her resignation as Leader of the Conservative Party and as Prime Minister.
5. Boris Johnson was elected as the new Leader of the Conservative Party and invited by the Queen to form a government. The Conservatives hold a majority of one in Parliament, in a supply and demand agreement with the Democratic Unionst Party from Nothern Ireland.
6. The European Union maintains that the agreement they negotiated with Theresa May is not open for renegotiation. Despite Boris Johnson maintaining he can renegotiate or negotiate an entirely new deal.
7. Opposition parties have begun to develop a joint strategy to try to undermine Boris Johnson and the Government. This most likely includes staging a vote of no confidence in the House of Commons and trying to form a temporary coalition government.
8. Boris Johnson has asked the Queen to suspend Parliament so that MPs will have less time to prevent either a No-Deal Brexit or win a confidence vote against the government.
9. Its not clear to anyone what will happen next ...
Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Trymdesia
If there is a hard border on the island Ireland then I am truly screwed, all my food and water comes from the republic. We rely so much on freedom of movement that any border arrangement no matter how weak would still have catastrophic consequences. There could even be a return violence...
Anyone who has even a basic understanding of the Troubles should know why that should never happen. Especially politicians.
Colfax County, Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio
As of now, we have declared candidates in 4 of 7 constituencies. We will proceed with elections in those constituencies as soon as possible. I would ask anyone considering candidacy for these 4 seats or any others to declare within the next 48 hours.
