News From BI

The Gang Retires

Prominent friends and British Isles politicians Sir Thomas Insaniac-Talleyrand, Baron Kingborough Edwick-Kudrow, Cameron Richthofen-Saxony -MythiKa-Castillon and Alvino Castillon-MythiKa announced their retirements this week. The group of friends, three of whom are brothers in the House of MythiKa, have announced their retirements in tandem for similar reasons; each has stated they have become sick of the drama of NationStates politics and combined with real life commitments no longer had the time to commit to the British Isles. The four were prominent members of the regional government, with Sir Thomas having been a former Prime Minister, Defence Secretary and MP as well as founding the regions largest political party, while Cameron is the sitting Culture Secretary and MP for Southern England, Alvino a former Associate Justice and the sitting MP for London, and Kingborough the Deputy PM, Foreign Secretary and MP for Wales.

Sir Thomas has stated he will be retiring from NationStates as a whole, while Alvino, Kingborough and Cameron will be concentrating on roleplay.
Many have stated their sadness at the news, which has come as a shock to the community.

Elections Again?

General Election time has come around again, but despite some expressions of disappointment so little has been achieved this time the race heated up quickly .... only to crash again when prominent contenders Alvino Castillon-MythiKa and Cameron Richthofen-Saxony announced their sudden retirements and pulled out of the race.

Except for sitting MP James Mikaelson, it is yet to be seen who will make a run for parliament though their are rumours Samuel Kudrow will make another embarrassing attempt to get into parliament.

Diplomatic Woes

The regional community has been up in arms this month after a series of heated debates over the two treaties recently presented to parliament; one with the New Inquisition and one with the Ascendancy. Both were struck down after serious opposition was razed; the Ascendancy treaty because of the supposed damage a relationship with that region could do the British Isles's reputation, and the New Inquisition Treaty after TNI's Vice-Reich Elector informed BI of all the reasons why the region is an interregional laughing stock, almost leading to a total shut down of TNI-BI relations that was only ceased by an emergency meeting between the Reich Elector of TNI and the King, PM and Foreign Secretary of the British Isles.
