A brief update...and sadly maybe my last.

Our war with Canada and Impeachment Law Proposal

I'll start with some good news our forces have secured Northern Ireland against the Canadians and we have regained the initiative. I have also agreed to the end of the war between the United Kingdom and Canada pending our Congressional sign off. There will be no concessions, just a end of hostility offered by the Canadians as they have no interest in continuing to battle us for our regions and hopefully accepted by our Congressional Representatives. I feel most citizens of the UK would like the resources bonuses back our core regions provide as soon as possible. The terms are/should be Canada did not used COs in Northern Ireland and Canada will also not interfere with any of our Resistance Wars.

Canada have also stated that they are also willing to continue the war if we are however I have strongly advised Congress we end this war with Canada as the funds in the treasury could be better spent elsewhere or saved for future wars, our allies are also committed elsewhere (one could argue we should be supporting our allies more) and it will also guarantee our resource bonuses are restored as soon as possible

On to my proposed impeachment as it's strongly linked with the above. It was put forward by KieranB

"Right was waiting for new congress for this but I think an impeachment is due.

We are getting wiped no help from allies and we still went ahead with a training war that sucked up needed damage.

Wayne successfully fought multiple fronts on his term so we know it can be done I personally think Huey is a nice guy just not a wartime cp"

My response

"I shared the decision to hold a training war with Belgium and supported the Albanian Airstrike with a ground offensive against Canada with Congress. I'm not sure the Country President should take absolute responsibility as I'm a big fan of 'Congress' being just as empowered as the CP however I was closely involved with the planning of both so in a sense I was in the best place to 'stop us'.

I stand by the assertion that the United Kingdom can fight a war on one front while maintain a TW with Belgium however I respect those members of Congress if they feel this is not something the UK has the ability to handle even if I disagree with it.

I have obtained bits and pieces of allied support however yes I've hadn't gained the allied support we had when we fought of multiple enemies although I didn't have the same set of allies sharing common borders with our enemies at the time. I've also spent a fair bit less on COs so far. However yes maybe I could have gained the support of more allies to help us defend the UK."

I'd be bitterly disappointed to be impeached as I handled a difficult situation not exactly of my own choosing as best as could be in my humble opinion and as the next 9 days should be a relatively straight-forward regain of our regions because of motions already in place.

However I hold Congress, KieranB and WayneKerr in the highest regard and respect. I have also prided myself on putting all the citizens of the United Kingdom first, my fairness and attempted understanding not only to friends, or those who share similar view points to my own however to every UK citizens even those I disagree with at times. My ego takes second place to what is best for the UK so in this sense I will respect and co-operate with the ultimate decision of Congress and ensure a smooth handover to Wayne if it comes to it. Additionally apart from my own vote...I don't have much of a say in the matter.

Also on a lighter note the UK had their chance to "vote for Wayne" and the tremendously talented Wayne could easily find himself re-elected next month.

Our training war with Belgium

Our training war with Belguim has proceeded as planned and as agreed we've returned Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia to our friends in Belgium. This exercise has cemented friendships and proven the United Kingdom can be an excellent Training War partner in my opinion and with only the minimalist of effort 4 battles and 3 resistance wars. Thanks to everyone in the UK who took part in this very successful exercise.




Law Proposals

- Mutual Protection Pacts

Spain

Discussions with my cabinet and Congressional consultation has resulted in a straight-forward renewed of our MPP with our fellow Sirius Alliance Member Spain.

Bulgaria

I have held discussions with my cabinet and had diplomatic talks with my presidential counterparts and now our new members of Congress have taken their seats they are in the process of being consulted with to hopefully ratify the straight forward MPP renewal of Bulgaria (Our Long-term ally and friend).



Close

Again I'd like to end by saying don't hesitate to drop me a message if you have a request of me. I may not be able to guarantee a swift reply at times however I'd like to address any concerns or queries you may have.

Thanks for reading

Huey George

Country President/Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
