MD JOINS PPL/PDSB RANKS IN PARLIAMENT
Ruling bloc forms the Liberal Democratic Alliance in Parliament
With the opposition, the PdJ and the PCB, in chaos and disorder, the MD, Mouvement Democratique, a party which was part of the former PdJ/MD opposition bloc, is a liberal party and has decided to come into the same folds as that of the current ruling bloc, the PPL/PDSB bloc. Upon being admitted into the ruling bloc, the PPL/PDSB/MD bloc renamed their coalition to the Liberal Democratic Alliance (LDA). The LDA stands as the strongest party in the parliament, controlling 60.1% of the seats in the Chambre des Communes, thus allowing the ruling bloc to push through any piece of legislation with minimum involvement of the opposition bloc.
The induction of the MD into the ruling coalition has resulted in increased stability for the Martinique government and increased cohesion in the government's ranks. The stock market, which has been sluggish since the beginning of the Batavie crisis, showed positive signs in light of the strengthening of the coalition. The public also has welcomed the inclusion of the MD in the ruling coalition. With people worried about the regional situation, the war of words between the PCB and PdJ, the creation of the LDA has given the Belmontien political scene some stability.
Prime Minister Shahrazad Martinique, who is in Franken at the moment, issued a statement where she congratulated the MD on being inducted into the ruling coalition and, according to sources within Grosvenor House, talked to the MD chief via webcam. According to the same source, Premier Martinique plans on making the leader of the PDSB and the MD, both, as Deuxième, a historical rank which serves as the deputy to the Prime Minister. Historically, the Deuxième has had all the responsibilities of the Premier but none of the power. The last Deuxième was appointed in 1761.
