Chaos erupts in parliament as members of the rulling party overthrow the government and launch an impeachment procedure against the president, martial law extended indefinitely: the wonders of parliamentarism
Watashina, Midway. The situation in the republic of Midway keeps on unravelling into a mess bigger than any of the storms that has hit the nation in its modern history as parliament has officially broken down into chaos with members of the rulling People's Power Party of Midway ousting the government in a no-confidence triggered following several major companies declaring bankruptcy. The parliamentarians accuse the government of mishandling the current economic crisis by refusing to drastically cut down the military budget and nationalize failing companies as the finance ministry has repeatedly refused any and all forms of governmental intervention in the crisis other than in the form of putting a cap on the amount of money withdrawn by individuals from the banks. However it seems that this laissez-faire approach is currently worsening the crisis even more as companies have laid off thousands of workers at once in order to save as much money as possible, the lay offs provoked a spike in unemployment and a radicalization of the protests as the CWMAM and its sister organizations have all mobilized their members in retaliation for the militarization of the state following the start of the crisis. In addition, parliament launched an impeachment procedure against the current sitting president after successfully ousting the government, the president stated that he will refuse to recognize any motion to forcefully make him leave office whilst parliament has extended martial law to an indefinite period of time to the disarray of protesters who hoped that dialogue between the government and protesters would start once the government is ousted. Due to the extension of martial law, Qiao Jiang has declared that the people of Midway will forcefully oust the entire political system themselves if their demands aren't meant whilst the military has also threatened to coup parliament if the crisis isn't dealt with within the following 100 days.
