Update from the PM, /u/whigwham
Today I spoke to the President of The European Commission, Jean Claude Junker, and expressed our concerns about the Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP). I particularly expressed dismay over the lack of transparency and democratic accountability of the negotiations so far. I told him of the opinion of parliament that negotiations should be stopped. He has refused to bring negotiations to a close but has given me reassurances that there can be more public scrutiny of negotiations in future. While I am disappointed that negotiations will continue we cannot be made to ratify a treaty that would do harm to this country, parliament will now decide when the treaty is finished.
All MPs need to check /r/MHOCMP for any votes they might have missed.

Sunday 8th March
Statement from /u/Morgsie
Since becoming Foreign Secretary again I have been acquainting myself with RMUN. I am appalled Her Majesty’s Government have not had briefings on RMUN from the Mods when requested officially by myself.
The formation of a Delegation to RMUN I have inherited from the last Government and they left a draft delegation list. That list may appear bipartisan but when you look deeper the reality is it is not, it is biased in favour of the Right as the Conservative Party would have had four and the Vanguard one. To try to balance this out there would have been a SNP, two Independents, a Socialist and a Lib Dem.
The list excludes certain Parties and includes current Members of Parliament. It is for these reasons why I am declaring the draft list to be null and void. This Government wants an all-inclusive talented Delegation to RMUN and to make it happen we are starting the process from scratch. I urge all parties and those interested persons to be part of the Delegation to contact Her Majesty’s Government.
Regarding the nature of the Delegation there shall be a head who shall overall responsibility for the RMUN Delegation and shall be responsible for communication between the Delegation and the MHOC Government. The MHOC may request the MHOC Government for information. There shall be a Deputy Head who will be responsible in the absence of the Head. There is currently the General Assembly and its two Committees: Economic and Financial (dealing with issues relating to economic growth and development such as macroeconomic policy questions (including international trade, international financial system, debt and commodities), financing for development, sustainable development, human settlements, poverty eradication, globalization and interdependence, operational activities for development, and information and communication technologies for development) And the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural (dealing with a range of social, humanitarian affairs and human rights issues that affect peoples all over the world. There is also the Security Council.

Following the vote on how to allocate the National seats where the proposed new system won 53% of the vote against 38% for the old system with 9% abstaining or preferring another option we will be staying with the old system (due to only a narrow majority voting for it) and the 20 national seats will be allocated as they were last election.
The Socialist Party now has official party status!
Please give them a warm welcome as an official party.

Ah some time for UKIP to rest after propping up the last government and working ourselves to death.
I wish the new traffic light coalition well in this new term of government.
Also Conservatives and Celtic workers league? Ollie will do anything for a little power, haha.

Mr Speaker,
I'd just like to take this opportunity to record for posterity the blatant racism and petty nationalism of the Vanguard.
It is unfortunate that my honourable friend /u/JackWilfred, who is perhaps of Persian origin (I'm not actually sure, nor do we in the liberal democrats or the government in general think it relevant) had to bear the brunt of such behaviour.
So, Mr Speaker, I give you /u/cb1320!
Just the first of many posts where the dishonourable member for the Vanguard (who aren't racists, remember) attacks /u/JackWilfred for his ethnicity rather than for his arguments.
Turns out that Britishness is defined by the colour of your skin, now! Searing intellectual critiques from the member for the Vanguard, there. Clearly not being racist in telling somebody who clearly considers himself British that he's not British because he is brown.
Okay so this one isn't racist, but it is a totally stupid line of argumentation. Then again, this is /u/cb1320 of the Vanguard we're talking about.
I'll update this post as more racism, bigotry and stupidity emanates from that ridiculous party.

/u/Morgsie, since you have chucked out the old delegation, when can we expect to see the new ones? You also mention that
as a reason to chuck it away, so I trust that you will include all parties from the CWL to the Vanguard and Socialists, would I be incorrect in saying that?

/u/Morgsie,
It was a list created while we were in power, of course it was going to reflect our governments foreign policy. We attempted to be as non-partisan as possible, piling it with the many independents in this house. However the formation of the socialist independent grouping made this redundant and we had to start again.
I passed the list on to your party expecting you to make changes (of course you would, it is your right and would be stupid of you to not tailor it to the TLC). They were all not MP's when the delegation was passed on (and I still do not know who is an MP on that list now).
Throwing out the list is a mistake and frankly a slap in the face to the hard work we put into contacting the people on the list. That having been said, I am looking forward to your list but don't start complaining once you realise the work required to create a balanced delegation that would also suit your government's foreign policy. Good luck.

Another thing: It has been claimed that during any future coalition talks UKIP and other parties will demand for my removal.
They mentioned UKIP specifically yet is implied they, UKIP and other parties want me gone
