Political Fallout: No confidence motion passes against the social conservative coalition government 

The SCP led coalition government has been toppled after just months in charge, a no confidence vote passed the federal congress overwhelmingly. A new cabinet has been quickly formed consisting of the National democrats, the socialists and the liberals. Vice-president Candy's government is the shortest serving government in Likatonian history, unfortunately vice president Candy could not bring the parties together. With Former vice president Candy now ranking amongst the least popular figures in Likatonian history narrowly outbeaten by former president Greenshaw. Meanwhile new polling out today shows President Elliott is the most popular politician in recent Likatonian history. Experts say that the vote was a mess with confusion at the federal congress, many thought we would be heading to early elections however the Candy government suffered a rebellion as the NDP and reform voted for the motion of no confidence. It is becoming clear to observers that Likatonian politics is becoming more and more divided along partisan lines. We remind all our readers that President Elliott won an overwhelming mandate to govern winning over 54% of the people's vote, but she has promised to be a president for all Likatonian's, no matter their background or political ideology.
It is clear that parties must come together and realize that we have a lot in common, but the people have spoken resoundingly they want change in Likatonia, president Elliott has the credentials to deliver that change. This morning president Elliott gave a few words to the press.

We are following closely what is happening in congress, which is why I have had meetings with leaders of the socialists and the liberals at frontier house. All parties should respect the political process in our country, we don't love our country only when we win. In answer to the calls from certain politicians for new elections and for me to resign the people already had a free and fair election, we must end the political chaos and begin to govern. I promise you I will and have always been a president for all Likatonians.

The no confidence vote passed this afternoon overwhelmingly with 158 in favour and 55 against. It is an all too familiar scene of political chaos and gridlock in the federal congress. It can only be hoped that the next government will be more united compared to the last.
