Royal Society of Marlovia

The voting continues! What will happen? Who knows? Who cares? Who will win the election? At the moment, a leak in the voting system has told us who's winning: 1. Liberty 2. Lords 3. Green 4. UN 5. Education 6. Death 7. Workers. But who really are the candidates? Colonel Henry Abuthnot (Centre-left). (Leader of the Liberty Party). The current Prime Minister,  Colonel Abuthnot was born in Africa though grew up in London. He stayed in India for thirty years as a colonel. He then moved to America for two years, where he met his wife Mary Abuthnot (born Debenhamme). He is quite popular. Lady Maria Copthorne-Wastedeposit (Centre-Right). (Leader of the Lords' Party). Lady Maria was born to the Copthorne Family (the Earls of Copthorne) in 1975. She married Sir William of Wastedeposit and joined the Lords Party, where she eventually became Deputy-Leader and also Leader of the House of Lords. On Lord Bassington's resignation as Leader of the party she acceded th...

Voting has just started 3 minutes ago, just as the King's Mother's Birthday ended. Despite it being only 3 minutes, already 200 people have put in their vote, and it is very tense. According to experts, the Liberty Party will win again, with the Lords or Green at a close second. They say the Death Party seats will be replaced by the three minor parties. So far, apparently, a leak tells us who is winning: 1. Liberty. 2. Green 3. Lords. 4. UN. 5. Death. 6. Education. 7. Workers. This is certainly unexpected (sort of). UN has pushed Death down a spot while the Green Party is so far winning in the contest between Green and Lords to become the Opposition. However, it's only the first three - no, wait, now it's eight - minutes since Midnight. It's just getting started.

Parliament at the moment. (Red=Liberty. Blue=Lords. Green=Green. Grey=Death. PM Col. Abuthnot with his wife Mary. The seats in the Parliament of Marlovia is shown here in this graph. The Liberty Party holds 49 seats, the Lords Party has 30, the Green party 29 and the Death Party 12. Experts originally predicted that there would be 45 Liberty seats, 38 Lords Seats, 31 Green seats and 6 Death. However, we have breaking news: Col. Abuthot, Prime Minister has decided to call a new election. The winner will take office in 2018, though Abuthnot will probably win again. Three more parties have entered candidates in the new election - Workers, Education and the United North Party. The Green Party might possibly beat the Opposition which it has been threatening to do for many years. Since the 2014 Disaster Election in which these three minor parties fell apart, they haven't taken part in any election. Lord Ottercoe of the UN Party is very popular and so is Sir Charles Wilberforce...

The Waiter: an endangered species. A campaign has been launched to save an endangered species in Marlovia - waiters. Customers in Marlovian restauraunts commented on the lack of waiters, and how they had to go and collect their food themselves. One particular diner, Dinah Ette-Acaffay, looked into the falling numbers of waiters in Marlovia, and found that they have been designated a critically endangered species.

Lady Copthorne-Wastedeposit, Leader of the Lords' Party, has just resigned and the new leader is a man named John Smith. Many long-time supporters of the Lords' Party have gone off it due to the lack of a ridiculous name (good ones include Lord Nigel Bassington-Bassington-Incubator and Kevin Smitherington-Klyde, Earl of Tomsbury-Buttonhopple). Also, several people have complained that he looks exactly like Adolf Hitler. In fact, several people have eve claimed he IS Hitler, though these claims have been denied by the Lords' Party, which has been rumoured to have its name changed to the Nationalsozialistische Party. BREAKING NEWS: Hitler (that is, Smith) has just resigned, saying he has "high hopes for his appreciation in Germany".

Education is declining! What do the politicians have to say about it? Colonel Abuthnot (Prime Minister):   It's not my fault. I just got the job. Daniel Edinburgh (Green Leader): Who cares? What about the enviroment? Baron Boar (Death Leader) : Education? Bah! Join the new Hitler Youth! John Bruiser (Workers Leader) : I had to drop out of school to look for work. And now look at where I am today: The leader of a declining and unpopular political party which has been replaced as the Opposition so many times you lose count - well, I do. I can only count up to ten. Lady Copthorne-Wastedeposit (Lords Leader) : This is what happens when you elect a left-wing party! "As my governess used to say..." Lord Ottercoe (United North Leader) : Make more schools in the Far North! Lord Bassington Incubator (Former Prime Minister) : I was privately tutored by a governess and I turned out jolly well. I even became Prime Minister. Though, of course, I did lose dismally. But as m...

This morning was a perfect autumn day, ideal for the first day of Autumn. One man even spotted a leaf. It was a windy, breezy day. In Nugaul, that little island off the coast of Marlovia, it was 16 degrees. The King of Marlovia was ill, and all weather forcasts were cancelled in his honour, but several weather forcasters organised a forcast in a forcast-easy in the city of Newyoick in a suburb known as the Gray Tepretion. In the towns of Damnation (Temporary) and Damnation (Eternal), it still remained extremely hot with lots of fire. A spot of fire in Eternal Damnation.
