Hestia Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 12 hours ago, Pringles said: Northern Ireland Policing Act (4 Previously; 6 Presently = 5): The Bill is received better this time! It was never really an unpopular bill among Northern Ireland. But it now has a large chance of passing with the new Government and likely won't received any sort of major obstructionism. Gender Equality Bill (10! Previously; 1! Presently = 6): The Media picks up on the political expediency and the likely internal political shenanigans as it's clear as to why the Liberal Democrats are working with the Labour Government and not the Tories who killed this bill in the previous Parliament. However, the bill remains popular and has a greater chance of passing this time. Scotland Act of 1992 (6 Previously Rolled 10!): The bill remains extremely popular among Scotland as many in Scotland believe there is hope that the bill will pass under this new government. Time will tell if the Scottish Labour MPs are enough to tilt the vote this time, and if the Labour Party leadership decided to back it this time. Welsh Referendum Act (2): While popular among some in Wales. Support just isn't as high in Wales as it is in Scotland for devolution. Time will tell on what happens in this front. NHS Expansion (4): Proposed by Caroline Lucas; the bill is received well among the Leftists but it's likely to face quite a bit opposition in Parliament from the Tories. Economic Freedom Defense Act (2): While the bill stirs up the Conservative base, many in the media criticize the move as too politically expedient for a fresh Leader of the Opposition. Many political pundits are saying Major should've just let Labour shoot themselves in the foot on this one. We'll see how much support the bill has but it appears unlikely to pass. As Labour's nationalization bill is also on track to failure. Northern Ireland Policing Act: SNP aye, Plaid free vote Gender Equality Bill: SNP and Plaid are ayes Scotland Act of 1992: SNP and Plaid are ayes Welsh Referendum Act: SNP and Plaid are ayes NHS expansion Act: Plaid will allow a free vote, while SNP will vote for the bill Both parties will vote for Betty Boothroyd, who they see as a capable and neutral speaker 12 hours ago, Pringles said: Same Sex Marriages Act of 1992 British Re-Nationalization of Railways Bill Labour Budget Bill (Includes Tax Bill and Minimum Wage in Prime Minister Events Above) Economic Freedom Defense Act Same Sex Marriages Act of 1992: SNP and Plaid will vote for the bill British Re-Nationalization of Railways Bill: SNP and Plaid will oppose the bill Labour Budget Bill: SNP will support the budget while Plaid will allow a free vote on it Economic Freedom Defense Act: Plaid and SNP are both nays Party Politics The SNP will stage a protest outside the Trident facility in Scotland where they demand that Scottish votes should be secured to hold a nuclear weapon facility in the country.

PM Event 3: Kinnock proposes the School Meal Act of 1992. The bill would provide free school meals to all children who want them, regardless of income level. The meals would have to meet national nutritional standards set by the Secretary of State for Education, and could not contain any allergenic ingredients.

Pringles Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 BBC News - May 7th, 1992 Prime Minister Events Japan Visit (1!): Maybe the Prime Minister should've invited Miyazawa to the United Kingdom... as Kinnock suffers a similar fate when dining with the Japanese cabinet. The raw seafood is just too much for a man like Kinnock, who ends up vomiting all over the table... Kinnock is just so used to a "Fry-Up" back home. Relations remain good, just as awkward as the US-American relationship is now. A major trade deal seems like a long shot after this incident. SNL airs a skit pairing President Bush and Kinnock together poking fun at the men's inability to handle seafood, and the BBC picks up on it as the joke of the week. Trident Facilities (10!): With the SNP protests going on alongside Kinnocks overtures... NATO takes notice and the North Atlantic Council officially confirms the removal of the Trident facilities. The move is seen as a major win for the Prime Minister in Scotland as Scotland's approval of Neil Kinnock surge greatly. School Meals (2): While free school meals should generally be a popular thing, and while it appeals to the Labour base, the rest of the country just picks up on the political expediency of the whole ordeal. Perhaps it's not that free school meals are unpopular, maybe they just hate the idea of the Government choosing what is "nutritional." Wouldn't want school lunches to end up like the disaster they are in America, right? Overall: 13/30. Kinnock doesn't have the best week as it's defined by him vomiting on Miayazawa and being subject to SNL ridicule that the BBC picks up on... but he's also gained a lot of credit in Scotland for enabling the removal of Trident Facilities. General Headlines Prime Minister Kinnock vomits in front of Japanese Prime Minister Miyazawa. Mirroring American President George Bush. Some world leaders just can't handle raw seafood. North Atlantic Council votes to render Trident facilities inactive in Scotland. Same Sex Marriage Act of 1992 narrowly passes in the House of Commons. House of Lords receives the bill and some predict it may be rejected. (69/100) (Needs 70+ to fail). However, the House of Lords narrowly passes the bill and it is officially legal for Same Sex Marriage couples to marry. Protests occur around the country pushing for a return to family values in wake of the passing of the Same Sex Marriage Act. UEFA awards the 1996 European Football Championships to England, who will be hosting a major tournament for the first time since the 1966 World Cup. ---- Parliamentary Votes Northern Ireland Policing Act - Ayes: 345. Nays: 284. The motion is passed. Gender Equality Bill - Ayes: 330. Nays: 297. The motion is passed. Scotland Act of 1992 - Ayes: 378. Nays: 234. The motion is passed. Welsh Referendum Act - Ayes: 341. Nays: 273. The motion is passed. NHS Expansion Act - Ayes: 316. Nays: 319. The motion fails. After an extremely contentious vote, newly elected Speaker Betty Boothroyd confirms that the No's have it by a margin of 3. Many were expecting this bill to be her first test as Speaker as it was likely to reach a tie. Which would mean in accordance with the role and tradition of the Speaker, the Speaker would have to vote in favor of the status quo. Thus, against the bill. Same Sex Marriages Act of 1992 - Ayes: 321. Nays: 302. The motion narrowly passes as there are defectors from all party's that vote in favor or against the bill. Ann Widdecombe is at the center of all of the drama as she lays into the Labour government once more for degrading family values. All in all, the momentum the Prime Minister has given this movement was enough for it to narrowly pass. It is likely to remain one of the most consequential decisions of his Premiership. Nevertheless, history has been made on this day. British Re-Nationalization of Railways Bill - The bill fails by acclamation. The No's have it. Labour Budget Bill (Includes Tax Bill and Minimum Wage in Prime Minister Events Above) - Ayes: 376. Nays: 261. The budget passes. Economic Freedom Defense Act - Ayes: 294. Nays: 333. The No's have it. Parliamentary Motions(Reintroduction) Irish Reunification Bill (2 Previously, 6 Presently): The bill see's slightly better reception this time as its chance at passing remains slim. However, this bill has a bit of infamy attached to it as it is what fueled the IRA-UVF street conflicts that ensued over 1991. While it's not guns blazing this time, discontent among the Unionists continue to grow. Motion of No Confidence Against Conservative MP and Shadow Minister of Agriculture; Ann Widdecombe (10!): The move is popular among most in the British public as many despise the controversial social views of Ann Widdecomb. However, time will tell if John Major and Tory Leadership believes she's worth defending. Whatever happens, it's going to be an interesting bit of drama. Small Business Relief Act (2): The bill is overshadowed by other events going on throughout the week as small business for the most part has been in good shape for a while. It remains popular among Conservatives, but it's just one of those things that the Labour and Liberal Democrat duo may reject. Parliamentary Action Items School Meal Act of 1992 Irish Reunification Bill Motion of No Confidence Against Shadow Minister of Agriculture: Ann Widdecombe Small Business Relief Act Local Election Event Party Events SDLP Party Event (8): The campaigning goes well this time! Unionist areas will be tough to crack but every little bit helps. Sinn Fein (8): Sinn Fein is out and they're making noise. It goes well. Gerry Adams has a shot at taking his seat back in the next election. Only time shall tell if he does. As the Republican anger continues to grow... so does the Unionist anger. Green Event (6): Liverpool is certainly full of left wing, working class. And while it's home to a lot of Labour loyalty... some take notice to the Green message. Constituencies such as Liverpool Walton for example. Lib Dem Event (5): Finchley and London in general is a tough area for Liberal Democrats to crack, but they're building up their organization and every little bit helps. BNP Event (7): The support building goes well as these are prime areas for a potential BNP upset. SNP Event (10!): The protest goes great and it sure as hell makes a lot of noise! The BBC and major news networks cover it and it's seen as a PR win for the SNP. Support for removing the Trident missiles grows. Plaid Event (10!): The "What is Wales?" campaign is a hit! The Welsh language is coming back and the support for Plaid all around grows! Thatcherite Party Event (5): Portillo is certainly a liked figure but many seem ready to move on from Thatcher and see a new agenda from the Conservatives. However, this appeals to the good ole base of course. One Nation Event (7): Heseltine does better this time. While his own personal popularity may be fading, his movement is always an essential part of the Conservative Party. ---- By Election Results Finchley Conservative - Carol Thatcher (87): 47% Labour - Rudi Vis - (69): 37% Liberal Democrat - Margaret Joachim (65): 14% Green Party - Ashley Gunstock (26): 0.5% Monster Raving Loonies - Sally Johnson (53): 1.5% In what had potential to be a close contest, Carol Thatcher, daughter of Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher retains Finchley for the Conservative Party in an even larger margin than the now Baroness Thatcher did in the 1992 General Election. (44-37). Speaker Election Results Betty Boothryd - 401 (63%) Peter Brooke - 231 (37%) Abstentions - 19 Betty Boothroyd soars to victory in her Speakership election. Father of the House Edward Heath presided over the ceremony and many on the moderate end of the Conservative Party were comfortable with voting for Mrs. Boothroyd as she has a long record of fairness, experience, and impartiality among the House. Even if she can put people in their place if she needs to. 😛 Local Elections Local elections will be calculated next turn. All parties involved will have a D100 roll. Feel free to include an event on it when you do your events after the roundup. I will not be tracking these individually as I would die.

Edouard Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Liberal Democrats have decided to prepare local elections by giving more roles to Shadow secretaries. On the School Meal Act of 1992, Simon Hughes (Southwark and Bermondsey) gives party position : We won't oppose, nor support School Meal Act of 1992. We think that the idea is good and so MPs will vote their conscience. On the Irish Reunification bill Paddy Ashdown : We will once again support the bill like we previously did. On the Motion of No Confidence Against Shadow Minister of Agriculture: Ann Widdecombe introduced by the Liberal Democrats Peter Brand (Isle of W) : Ms Anne Widdecombe loves to talk about mental ilness for homosexual people, well, let me tell you one thing. I am a doctor, I know a bit about mental disorder. On May 17th 1990, World Health Organization withdrew homosexuality from the list of mental diseases, it is because we have evolved, like when we stopped thinking that the sun was turning around the earth of that the earth was a square. I well know that modernity is such a weird thing for a party which surely regrets everything of what has happened in this country since the magna carta of 1215 BUT I assure you that science evolves and with that knowledges about the world around us ! The Conservative Party love 19th century society with quite an hypocrisy, which is that, if society hadn't evolved, Ms Widdecombe would not even be there to puke on human beings, nor Ms Thatcher to privatize everything. That being said, I understand that lady Thatcher can like 19th century when she can become lifetime baroness, another old thing that we should abandon. To come back straight to the point mister speaker, liberal democrats support free speech, but for citizens. Here we are representing the people of Britain, that binds us to be at a certain level of personnal and human dignity. When this house passed Same Sex Marriage, Ms Widdecombe clearly said that the Prime Minister would DESTROY our society by enabling mentally ill individuals. What does this mean? That if we don't condemn by voting this motion, we agree with the comment of Ms Widdecombe as a parliament and recognize in a way that yes, homosexuals are mentally ill people and we are destroying the british society. Will we allow this? While thousands of youths will continue to commit suicide for the pleasure of old grumpy leadies such as Ms Widdecombe or Ms Knight? Do we want to add blood on our hands by cowardice? We already did this some decades ago with Alan Turing so why not again? The vote is yours my dear colleagues, but today, as a doctor and as a human being, I stand in order of the motion of no confidence against Ms Widdecombe. Small Business Relief Act. Libdems decide to adopt free vote on the bill. Local elections in Britain. The Libdem tactic is to appeal both on their moderate views to manage local collectivities and their will to empower more women and minorities.

The act would entitle every British worker to 26 weeks' leave for each child and adopted child, up to the child's 18th birthday. The act does not require that the leave be paid, or unpaid.

Rezi Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Sinn Féin will continue its campaigning in Belfast, attacking unionism. They also attack the DUP's bill, which would label Sinn Féin as a terrorist organization. "What Ian Paisley and his party of unionists are doing here is nothing short of totalitarianism. They would seek to have any party which opposes their views removed from action, and hope that the English are too busy worrying about their union to care about the rights of the Republicans. If he were to get his way, where does it stop? Next it would be the SDLP. and then the English would see the effects of removing Irish Republicans that they would begin to expand this, and then it would be the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru being designated as terrorists!

ORDER! THE HONORABLE GENTLEMEN FROM YEOVIL WILL REMAIN SEATED! I DON'T REQUIRE ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE OPPOSITION BENCHES EITHER! ORDER! Speaker Boothroyd: My fellow Parliamentarians, this is a very sensitive topic that is ongoing currently and I have been advised on Parliamentary procedure for the matter. Let us set the record clear the current motion is not possible against a member of the Shadow Cabinet, as that is an internal party affair. Speaker Boothroyd: However, we are on a tight schedule and we need to move on. Should the Honorable Gentlemen from Yeovil wish to submit a motion of censure, which as I have been advised, is possible, he will be allowed to do so and resume debate on this subject in the following days. That's the end of it. We now move on. ---- @Fbarbarossa @Cal @WVProgressive @ConservativeElector2 @Dobs @Edouard @Hestia @Cenzonico @Sean F Kennedy @The Blood @Rezi @Timur @Rodja My bad, it was late last night in the roundup and I was not doing the research I should've done. As I had assume it'd be possible. But motions of no confidence against anything other than the Official Cabinet is not possible. As it is an internal party matter. However, given the broad interpretation of Censures in the UK, this can now be a Censure motion if @Edouard wishes to pursue it further.

Local Election Event Party Event: John Major will respond to the protests and to the attempt by the Liberal Democrats to fire one of his shadow Ministers in the strongest of terms. "The Honorable Gentleman should know better than to try to use the power of the Parliamentary majority to silence voices of dissent among the minority. Ms. Widdecombe represents a great deal of Brittons who are making use of their freedom of expression in the streets right now to express their support for traditional marriage. When the majority attempts to silence her and strip her of her position as Shadow Minister for Agriculture, they express loud and clear to the people of Britain that there is very little care for dissent in the Right Honorable Prime Minister's government, Madam Speaker. Ms. Widdecombe will remain in her position where she effectively represent the position of our party on the matter of Agriculture. She will also remain an MP for her constituency, which she is allowed to represent accurately and effectively as she sees necessary. The Tories will never stand for the silencing of dissent, particularly when that dissent represents millions across the country. Nor will this Opposition bench ever expel a minister for representing the people who elected them. The Tories are a big tent party, we don't all agree with Ms. Widdecombe's views, but we will fight to the last to ensure she had the right to express them." New Legislation: Civil Unions Act of 1992 - Seeing the major backlash against the government's attempt to redefine marriage, the opposition will attempt to quell social unrest for the government by proposing a compromise: retract the government's endorsement of the redefinition of marriage and allow the Church of England to continue its teaching of One Man and One Woman but allow same-sex couples to enter into legal civil unions. Local Elections: The Tories will continue to fight for the base they held earlier this year. Our coalition of Upper Class and Middle Class voters should be expanded into the working class. Of course, we'll focus on holding South and Central England but, now in the Opposition, we'll aim to utilize two factors to our advantage: the energy of social consevative activists on the ground and the anger at the immediate breaking of promises on the Railway nationalization issue. Using those two as a battering ram, the Rails in the South and the Marriage issue in the North, we will aim for a two-pronged approach. The Tories will also, learning from their mistakes last time, will aim to spend more time and resources in Scotland to prevent the kind of terrible result which occurred earlier this year.

Pringles Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 BBC News - May 29th, 1992 Prime Minister Events Washington DC Visit (9): Kinnock and Bush surprisingly get along quite well! They have a few jokes about their incidents with Japan... but relations between the United States and the United Kingdom are on track to remain very well. Parental Leave Act of 1992 (2): What should be quite the popular move receives some back lash when Chancellor John Smith and Secretary Tony Benn say the bill should mandate a PAID leave. While it has support among the moderates, it has criticism coming from all fringes. Pamphlets (2): The pamphlets are mocked as the Labour Party "Re-Nationalization" Fiasco continues to loom in the papers every now and then. Overall: 13/30. Kinnock has a bit of a bland week but people take notice at his successful American visit. General Headlines Labour holds on to their Councillor lead in 1992 Local Elections. Ann Widdecombe is censured. A week-long rave festival in Castlemorton Common in the Malvern Hills is held, causing media outrage due to drug-use and noise complaints from neighbours. ---- Parliamentary Votes School Meal Act of 1992 - Ayes: 330. Nays: 284. Passed. Irish Reunification Bill - Ayes: 240. Nays: 389. Failed. Censure of Ann Widdecombe - Ayes: 316. Nays: 264. Ann Widdecombe is censured by the House of Commons. Small Business Relief Act -Ayes: 293. Nays: 327. Failed. Parliamentary Motions Labeling Sinn Fein and the IRA Terrorists Bill (2): The bill causes huge uproar and the IRA ramps up bombings during the week. UVF and IRA clashes are back once more. Time will tell how Parliament receives the bill. Welsh Language Act (4): The bill is well received in Wales but not so much everywhere else. Depending on the votes of the other parties, the bill will live to see another day or it will simply die. Basic Education Grant (2): The bill is seen as a bit of a leap too far for the Green Party in terms of poltical ploys, and is overshadowed by other events of the week. Civil Unions Act (1!): The act is seen in poor taste after Jill Knight defended Ann Widdecombe in the absence of John Major. However, protests still occur in the streets. On both sides. Pro-LGBT vs Anti-LGBT. Action Items Labeling Sinn Fein and the IRA Terrorists Bill Welsh Language Act Basic Education Grant Civil Unions Act Rotherham By Election Party Events SDLP Event (8): The effort to gain unionist area continues moving along quite nicely. DUP Event (8): The Unionists are also in town and are putting up a fight against the SDLP. Monster Raving Loonies (6): The Loonies are out and about and they're getting their names heard I guess. Plaid Event (6): Support for devolution continues to grow ever so slightly. Sinn Fein (5): The attacks land well amongst the base, but of course, Sinn Fein doesn't have much room to expand. Green Event (10!): The event go extremely well! Liverpool Walton is lookin good for future Green campaigns. John Major Response (1!): What John Major had planned to say was quite well... however, he ends up running late due to a flat tire and one of Mr. Majors top allies, Michael Portillo lets Jill Knight handle the response. A High Tory who sympathizes with Ann Widdecombe. Wonder how that went... 😕 One Nation Event (7): Hess truck surprisingly carries the week for the Conservatives after some unfortunate gaffes. ---- Local Elections National Results Conservative (15) - 7,951 Councillors Labour (27) - 9,466 Councillors Liberal Democrat (11) - 3,608 Councillors Scottish National Party (71) - 303 Councillors BNP (8) - 2 Councillors Green (56) - 10 Councillors Scotland Conservative - 148 Councillors Labour - 385 Councillors Liberal Democrat - 80 Councillors Scottish National Party (71) - 303 Councillors Due to overall Parliamentary approval at an all time high despite ongoing controversies... and little effort being made by the major parties... turnout was low and it was seen in the result as the overall Councillor layout didn't change very much. However, the Scottish National Party was the shock of the night as they made huge gains in Scotland and are now the second largest party ---- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Scottish_local_elections https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_United_Kingdom_local_elections These are the results from IRL, but notice that I am not tracking gains, or anything like that for this first election. Totals can change depending on the year due to boundary changes. So this set of local elections will be a BASE for the future. I promise the 1993 local elections will be much more exciting, as it will begin whatever trends we begin to see in this RP, etc. If your party isn't included it's because your region wasn't involved in this election. Plaid, Northern Ireland, etc. By Elections Labour MP James Boyce of Rotherham has died due to a heart attack. A By-election will occur next turn. ---- @Fbarbarossa @Cal @WVProgressive @ConservativeElector2 @Dobs @Edouard @Hestia @Cenzonico @Sean F Kennedy @The Blood @Rezi @Timur @Rodja Opinion polling will release and commence next turn, as we are now back on a consistent schedule of 3 months per turn.
