Prime Minister vetoes KNF structural reform

New Tokyo, 23.04.836 News have reached us about political uproar within the Imperial Diet. According to the public schedule, a session behind closed doors commenced earlier today and was abruptly cut short when Imperial Prime Minister Miyasu issued a veto. The Imperial Diet's spokesman declined to comment, however two hours ago a statement by the Prime Minister reached us to explain the sudden chaos. According to Prime Minister Miyasu, a joint push by the Shogunate, Ministry of Defence and curiously both the Board of Admirals and Board of Generals to merge the Office of the Shogunate and the Ministry of Defence into a joint administrative body was forwarded. In detail, this push would have seen the Imperial Shogun gain tremendous amounts of influence over the command structure of the joint Imperial Armed Forces, effectively voiding the civil Imperial Diet's control mechanisms over military affairs as established following the Civil War. Prime Minister Miyasu justified her usage of veto over a legislative error, citing the need for a constitutional amendment to justify such drastic changes. In the same motion, she issued a counter offer possible to execute without constitutional amendments to the affected: The abolishment of the Office of the Shogunate by his Imperial Majesty, the preservation of the Shogun as title, the integration of the Shogun into the Board of Admirals and Board of Generals as advisory figurehead and direct line of contact between the IAF and His Imperial Majesty and the preservation of the Shogun as Commander of the Imperial Guard. The Prime Minister further explained that this approach would permit His Imperial Majesty more direct influence and participation on military affairs without undermining the civilian governments control through the Ministry of Defence. According to other sources within the Imperial Diet, there was a visible divide among the Chamber of Commons and Chamber of Peers on how to handle the Prime Minister's veto. His Imperial Majesty Emperor Kogen did not object to it, leaving the various factions within the Chambers to scramble around three possibilities. According to our sources, the Imperial Diet scheduled a final vote on how to proceed within the next six hours already. Whereas we lack sufficient insights due to the closed nature of todays session, our analysts draft the current picture based on in-depth knowledge of the various factions and their most likely stance: Insistence on the forwarded structural reform Supported by: Chamber of Commons: Hanazono Party, ~40% of the Sunrise Party Chamber of Peers: Governor of Kyushu, Local nobility of Kyushu and Shikoku Extra-parliamentary factors: Samura Industries Acceptance of the Prime Minister's settlement Supported by: Chamber of Commons: ~60% of the Sunrise Party, ~50% of the Social Democratic Party of Kusari, Ninkyō Dantai, Kanawaga Agricultural Association Chamber of Peers: Governor of New Tokyo, Local nobility of New Tokyo Extra-parliamentary factors: Institute of Genrō, Hogosha Preservation of the current status quo Supported by: Chamber of Commons: United Kusari, Kusari Commoners Party, ~50% of the Social Democratic Party of Kusari Chamber of Peers: Governor of Honshu, Local nobility of Honshu Extra-parliamentary factors: Kishiro Technologies The Sunrise News Service will keep you updated.
