"Fuel Scandal reaches new heights, Government forced to resign!"

OSLO (Translated by NTB): The Labor/Socialist coalition-government was forced to resign yesterday after the fifth major scandal rocking the government in its 300 days in office. The proverbial drop that caused the cup to overflow came a week ago when Minister of Finance Kristin Halvorsen said that she would add a new tax on the already overtaxed petrol- and auto-industry. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenbergs failure to put out this new brushfire caused Stortinget (OOC: national assembly) to forward a vote of no confidence. New elections are expected to be held in a month, and the Progress Party is expected to get the majority of the seats in the new government. In the last polls made by Norsk Gallup, more than 33 percent of the people asked said that they would vote Progress if the elections were to be held today. The Stoltenberg goverment will remain in office untill a new government has been elected.

President Chirac warmly welcomes this change in the Kingdom of Norway, seeing as the previous regime was completely cooperative with the affairs of international dealings. We extend our welcome to the Norwegian people as they prepare to elect a new government.

Israel is pleased with the new regime.

To: President Chirac
From: Torbjørn Jagland, president of the Storting (OOC: Equivalent to the US Speaker of the House)

Thank you for your kind words. It is my hope that the new government will open even closer relations with France, a nation which we share a long history with.

Greece is also happy to see a new regime in power.. Far better than the previous one.
