April 2022 General Elections
On Monday 18th April 2022, HRH The Princess of Wales, in the name of His Majesty The King, issued the Writ of Elections. The ballots opened on April 22nd, and after the vote 7 MPs were elected: 4 from the British Worker's Party (Vig Somerset, Lily Theadora, Sirch Halifax and Joshua Veralius) and 3 from the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance (Charles Holland, Andrew E. Wright-Jameson and Jeeve Sal Alohim). One CNA candidate (Harsh Tripathi) wasn't elected.
Writ of Summons
As the BWP secured a majority in the House of Commons, its leader, Sirch Halifax, was invited by His Majesty The King to form a Government in his name. Sirch Halifax accepted and was so appointed Prime Minister-Designate.
The State Opening
After Charles Holland was elected as the new Speaker of the House of Commons, His Majesty delivered the Speech from the Throne during the State Opening of Parliament, officially opening the 18th Session of Parliament. Here is the Speech:
My Lords and Members of the House of Commons,
My government shall continue the work of previous governments to initiate a stamp drive and manual recruitment initiatives to further grow our Empire.
My government shall continue to host festivals for activity, diplomatic ties, and conduct diplomacy in a professional, engaging manner around the world.
My government shall pursue the creation of an economy, one that provides incentives and encourages participation on the forums, while upholding entrepreneurship as essential.
My government shall ensure transparency and accountability by having constant, rolling questions to the Prime Minister and other ministers, but also public statements from the Prime Minister on a weekly basis.
My government shall continue to process citizenship applications in a timely manner.
My government will foster and maintain activity by being mindful of the actions it takes, and policies it implements, on a daily basis in serving the people of this Empire.
My government will protect, nurture, and ensure the general welfare of the Empire for our prosperity and posterity.
Members of the House of Commons, estimates for the public services will be laid before you.
My Lords and Members of the House of Commons, other measures will be laid before you.
I pray that the blessing of Almighty God may rest upon your counsels.
