The new Prime Minister, Noah Rackham, and his Conservative Government, narrowly won the motion of no confidence, that is traditionally tabled at the formation of any new government, by 329 - 318 Votes this morning. Only three MP's were unable to vote due to personal reasons.

Thereafter, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Carl Snow, outlined the governments budgetary plans for the coming year. He began by explaining the mess that the new government found itself in;

"Mr. Speaker, upon entry to the Treasury Department yesterday, I was presented with a simple spreadsheet. It contained only three numbers, the Government's Revenue, the Government's Expenditure, and the Government's deficit for the past year. Total Government Revenue was as followed; M£655 Billion. The Government's total Expenditure was M£842 Billion, and our budget deficit was M£187 billion, or 10% of Our Gross Domestic Product.

This government now proposes the following budget for the year of 1900, the turn of the century. We believe this century can be a fresh start for Mathorn. We therefore, pledge today, that by the next election in 1905, that we will be running a budgetary surplus. To do this, hard cuts will have to be made. Although government revenue for next year will be M£700 billion - an increase of £45 Billion over last year, we will be slashing government expenditure by 10% across the board, exempting the military and police forces. This leads to a real term reduction in government expenditure by £70 Billion to £M772 Billion, leading to a budget deficit of M£72 Billion, or just over a third of what it was last year.

Mr. Speaker, these radical actions will not only transform our economy into a high wage, low tax economy, but will also lead to economic growth of 1% Next year, but more importantly will stimulate confidence for businesses, so the year after the economy is projected to grow by 3.8% and then 4.4% the year after."

The New budget was lamented by opposition MP's, calling the government heartless and creating poverty, however the Budget was passed by 326 votes to 317 votes.

During the two votes today, there were no rebels from the government's benches.

GOP is a colloquial nickname for the US Republican Party - Grand Old Party

The thing is - There is already a republican party in the list.

- - - Government to table a bill which would legislate for a referendum on the World Assembly - - -

The Conservative Majority government continues the quick progress of introducing legislation, and fulfilling manifesto promises, by tabling a bill that would legislate for a nationwide referendum on Mathorn's World Assembly. On Monday, MP's will have the chance to debate and vote on this bill.

In addition, on Tuesday, MPs will debate and vote on a constitutional amendment, that would introduce a democratically elected second chamber to Parliament - A Senate. These constitutional proposals has, as yet, not been released by the government, but it is understood from sources, that to come into law, 2/3rds of MP's (433 MP's) would have to vote for the proposals. The policy to introduce a democratically elected second chamber has been a long standing policy of the Liberal Party, and was in their manifesto, so it is likely that they will vote for the constitutional change.
