Wilson Announces Formation of Governing Coalition

The Franklin Times -

Prime Minister elect Tyler Wilson announced the formation of a governing coalition today between his FAP, the LAP and the PFP. The announced federal cabinet positions are as follows:

Prime Minister Tyler Wilson (FAP)
Deputy Prime Minister Kyle Kennedy (LAP)
Foreign Minister Hayley Estes (LAP)
Defense Minister David Brownfield (PFP)
Treasury Minister Zach Young (FAP)
Justice Minister Ash Ketchum (FAP)
Homeland Minister Yugi Moto (FAP)
Commerce and Trade Minister Tiffany Geier (FAP)
Health Minister Arnie Banawa (LAP)
Education Minister Jacob Rinehart (FAP)
Environmental Minister Nickii Webb (LAP)
Agricultural and Mining Minister Abbie Wallace (FAP)
Speaker of the National Assembly Albus Dumbledore (FAP)

In the twelve member cabinet there will be 7 FAP representatives, 4 LAP representatives, and 1 PFP representative. Of the 10 ministries that FAP will control six, the LAP three, and the PFP one.

This will give the FAP led coalition 208 seats in the National Assembly or 59.4% of the seats. This will give Wilson a stable coalition capable of passing legislation. However, Wilson will likely have to compromise with his LAP coalition members on many of his legislative proposals to assure their support. Additionally, there has already been quiet criticism of the leader's willingness to give away the Ministry of Defense to a rival political party.

The FAP supports it's coalition and decisions. We believe compromise is the best way to reach a larger part of the country. The FAP does not believe the PFP to be a rival party. The PFP was very unstable, with divided beliefs. We took in party leader David Brownfield because he was the best choice when it came to defense policy. We stand behind our decision and urge constituents to as well.
