A heated exchange has occured between Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies and High Vizier Prince Ian over the issue of the current situation in the Middle East. The dissagreement happened when a communication intended for the Sovereign King about the state of foreign affairs was routed to all government officials due to an error on the Kemetian Telecomunication Network (which has since been resolved).
The text of the communication has not been disclosed, but it appears that in an unofficial capacity, the Prime Minister complained of the pro-Israel stance of the government in a way that would be generally thought of as unfitting for someone of his position. In a telephone conversation, His Majesty informed the Prime Minister of his views and of the fact that the communication had been sent on to all in the government.
When the High Vizier Prince Ian received the communication, he was outraged at the informal and somewhat "sparring" language of the Prime Minister and wrote him a formal letter of complaint. Later today, during the sessions of the Royal Parliament, he asked for "a vote of No Confidence in Prime Minister Lloyd-Davies" stating that "his values and judgement have proven to be questionable as of late." A heated debate followed.
The Sovereign King suggest a reconciliation meeting between the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince saying that "If it does come to an impeachment, it would be impossible to impeach the Prime Minister with the Royal Parliament because that would require a 2/3 majority for the motion, which could not be achieved because of the SDP holding too many seats. A case could be brought for high treason, but I seriously doubt the PM has done anything to merit such a trial." He reiterated his government's commitment to peace and justice and pushed for peaceful meetings between the two sides.
Although a favourable outcome has been obtained, this incident has shown that although the two major parties (SDP and NDP) are similar in some respects they can have their differences.

The 4th Constitution
08/07/2006--STONERDALE CITY--
Today, the 4th Constitution of the Sovereign Kingdom of Kemetia was presented before the Royal Parliament for debate, amendments, and approval. The long awaited new constitution will replace the redundant 3rd and hopefully usher in a new era of constitutional law and peace. Certain guarantees of this constitution have never been made in the past and it is believed that the Cabinet has tried to create a document which covers all eventualities in keeping with the liberal policies of the Prime Minister and the King.
Although the document will probably be ratified in early September, it has initially been given a warm reception in the debating chamber and approved by Grand Prince Roger, Deputy Chair of the New Delegation Party.

Constitution Crisis
03/07/06--STONERDALE CITY--
After reviewing all possibilities, the current constitution has been dissolved and a new one is to be formed.
King Adam was granted Emergency Powers by the Royal Parliament and dissolved the 2nd Constitution. It was deemed too concerned with governance and less with the people. A 3rd Constitution was briefly formed but dissolved after it started to show "command structure weaknesses."
The 4th Constitution is in development and should be completed by the Parliament soon. Meanwhile, the King will retain his Emergency Powers until 8.00 am this morning and then relinquish them to the Parliament.
