[BOK] Formateur news [UPDATE 2] - LSD/IP/CPNL confirmed

Day 1,010, 09:00 Published in Netherlands Belgium by Boklevski
UPDATE 1: The three parties LSD, IP and CPNL have agreed to start talks to look at the possibility of working together in a coalition next month. I have enquired about their preferences of a government program to see common points and points to agree on.

UPDATE 2: LSD, IP and CPNL made huge progress in the talks, and the final government and program has been accepted in the big lines. A few last rephrases need to be done, after which I can present the government, led by prime minister Hans Rienveld, and the governmental plans tomorrow to you all.

Dear UNL Citizens,

As LSD has become the party with the most congress seats, they are in the position to appoint a formateur, according to our constitution. I have been offered the job of formateur by LSD, and it was my honor to accept it.

Unlike last month, where LSD and I&W received the same amount of votes, LSD is the only party with the most seats now. Therefore, I will look at their preferences first for a government and see what is possible.

Last month, I have seen there was support around some parties for a left-wing coalition, consisting of LSD/IP/CPNL. This combination holds 22 seats (respectively 22, 7 and 2), and has therefore a majority within Congress. LSD has indicated they would like me to investigate this possibility first.

I will set a clear deadline to look at this: at the end of Saturday, August 28 eRep time, I want to close this off. Either we’ll have agreed on a coalition of LSD/IP/CPNL by then, or we’ll look into other possibilities. Again, the LSD preference will be leading for me in what to look for, but for the moment that’s irrelevant as I’ll focus on the left-wing coalition.

I have learned much from last month. One thing was to keep everybody informed. As in previous month, I will update this article as soon as I’ve got news!

I hope this sheds some light in how I want to progress. If you want a governmental function, please PM me, plus your area of interest (for example: Finance, Defense, Foreign Affairs, …). I will take any application into consideration, although I cannot promise anything as it’s up to the Party Presidents.

Feel free to ask any questions!

Kind regards,
Boklevski, formateur
