Constitutional Amendments
Two constitutional amendments that would result in an expanded parliament have been passed by both houses of parliament and have been assented to by the Queen. Following a referendum on 15 December, the amendments could potentially increase parliament by two seats in the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
Legislation
A lot of new legislation has been introduced in the past few days. Prime Minister John Smith has introduced legislation that would create a Ministry of Justice headed by a Crown Prosecutor for Justice that will have new powers to prosecute offenders and train lawyers. Legislation is up to be passed regarding the Election Commissioner, and MP Steele has already submitted his first piece of legislation: The Military Activity and Attendance act.
BIG NEWS!
A state visit has been announced for 14 December 2012 between the British Isles and the region of Kantrias! This will be the British Isles' second state visit following up an immensely popular gathering with the Commonwealth of Denmark earlier this year.

Constitutional Crises
Lord Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Windsor announced a controversial ruling that forced an emergency constitutional amendment to be introduced in the House of Commons. He declared all Prime Ministers selected since the introduction of the House of Lords illegal. John Smith was elected to be the Interim Prime Minister in a bipartisan action led by Kingborough Edwick. (Written by St. Jon Nassau)
By-election in Northern Ireland and Recontestion
The MP for Northern Ireland was removed after a lengthy debate. At first it appeared as if a by-election would not need to take place, as Steele had only been inactive for six days, however, it was discovered that he had not posted since 21st December, which led to his removal.
(Written by St. Jon Nassau) Subsequently Steele successfully gained his seat back and a byelection was called off
Lord Renounces Citizenship
MorkHemsko, Baron Hemsko, renounced his citizenship earlier today for reasons that remains unclear. This creates a gap both in the House of Lords and in the NINP. The Queen is expected to appoint someone to the now vacant position in the House of Lords soon. (Written by St. Jon Nassau)
Sgt. Strider/Justin Time Debacle
Last month, Justin Time, a so-called political activist, entered the region and proceeded to bash several people for no good reason. He was banned by court order. More recently, an individual known as Sgt. Strider appeared, attempting to reorganize the region's military and impersonating a government official. Prince Edward, upon checking the IP addresses of both individuals it became apparent that they are one and the same. Strider was banned. (Written by St. Jon Nassau)
New Political Parties Formed
Two new political parties have been formed in the British Isles, the first, a centre-left Post Progressive Party, and the second, the National Unionist Party led by former Defence Secretary William Nassau. (Written by St. Jon Nassau)

(Written by Kingborough Edwick). The royal British Isles navy also successfully conquered Warzone Europe.
State visit between the British Isles and Kantrias
Last month a very successful state visit occurred between the British Isles and Kantrias. The event was a great success between the two regions and the British Isles looks forward to more to come in 2013. (Written by Clayton)
