Looks like thing are hopping again in the Frog Pond goobermint.
For those of you who have not been following events transpiring on the lilypad of amphibian politics since we last checked in Macaroni managed to survive the Snap Election he called by appointing a Far Right PM, despite the fact the Far Left actually garnered the most votes in a 3 way split with Macaroni's Centrist party. None of thee 3 had a sufficient majority to form a Goobermint, so Macaroni is dependent on the coalition with the Fascists to hold together.
Unfortunately, the sad fiscal condition of the Frog Economy has both the Left & Right unanimously against the current budget proposal, which must be passed by Dec 21st. This seems unlikely at the moment, which means that a No Confidence vote might occur leading to a collapse of Da Goobermint.
As a result of course the Frog bonds are tanking and spells trouble for the Euro, since the Kraut economy is also in the toilet. El Trumpo also plans on starting a Trade War, jacking up the tariffs on European goods to the insane levels they are taxing Chinese stuff. Also threatening Canada and Mexico with this, but I digress.
Bottom line is that it looks like economic chaos beginning the New Year and an exciting beginning to 2025 for Kollapsniks. ;D
