Description[?]:
| February 4976 FORT WILLIAM, ORANGE — Prime Minister Ethelwin Paglesham has said that he will step down in October, a month after he celebrates his twentieth anniversary of taking office. His time in power has been the longest of any Luthorian head of government in modern history, narrowly beating Goldwater's and Stinson's seventeen- and eighteen-year terms respectively. As the first time a prime minister has left office under a monarch in centuries, his departure will see the reintroduction of the ancient custom of the prime ministerial resignation honours. Preliminary drafts of Paglesham's honours list have already made their way around Fort William, offering the ennoblement of former defence secretary Vic Scoles, who left the Diet at the last election, as Viscount Scoles of Southfork, and that of former prime minister Tommy Brewer, injured in the assassination of the emperor two years ago, as the Earl of St. Richard's. It is likely that Paglesham himself will also be awarded a title, though by the regency council on behalf of the Empress rather than upon his own recommendation. The prime minister's announcement, however, was accompanied by one that he "does not plan to leave public service just yet." It is likely that he will continue serving as member of the Imperial Diet for Thwireford until at least the end of this Diet, and maintain his influence in the party from a position of reverence on the backbenches in that time. Alliance members, no doubt already jostling for position in the party after Paglesham leaves office, or with the most ambitious among them even for the succession itself, offered accolades of his time in power. "Over the course of his truly historic time in office, the prime minister restored the monarchy, ensured that Luthori would once again be feared by our enemies and respected abroad, and steered the country through the perilous aftermath of the heinous imperial murders," said Enmond Buckenham, the home secretary. |
