Before I start the rest of the article let me apologise for the shoddy look of it, my pc is currently without internet so I’ve had to jump on a family members slow as sh*t laptop in order to write this. Haven't got the speaker org details, once I have them further articles will be on there


Okay so there was a Speaker election that ended today after FaP stood down, and I won- beating out a guy called ‘Re-Open Nominations’ in a spectacular victory.

The Results of the election were as follows:

Boaty McBoatface: Dave Trenga, Cheetah Curtis, Boaty McBoatface, N W G, dannydan1209, Fataliix, Roachford, VoodooMike71

Re-Open Nominations: Mad Pauly, Madelina de Melrose, FightAndProduce

Turnout: 11/20


Congress Membership Changes

UKRP Member Dave Trenga has today resigned his seat, and the UKRP PP has nominated Sir Humphrey Appleby to take his place.

On a side note here it's worth acknowledging the imminent end of an in-game congress due to our lack of regions. Since our entire constitutional arrangement is predicated on the dictator ensuring congress’ approval but with no official congress existing, it leaves us with a dilemma we need to solve.

We have a few options for dealing with wipes:

1. Existing congress members keep their seats for the duration of the wipe under normal rules

2. PPs are granted the ability to carry out a reshuffle of their congress members and appoint an entirely new delegation if they choose, but each party keeping the same number of congress members

3. A new congress of x number of seats is calculated by party membership figures with PP appointing a fresh set of members.

4.No Congress, unrestricted power for the CP.

Would very much appreciate opinion of eUK citizens on this issue, solving it will require consultation of more than just congress.


New Proposals

Impeachment of the Country President
Proposed by: Cheetah Curtis.

Cited reason for the impeachment is that the govt isn’t doing enough to improve our situation.

I will expand this section as we get more information from congress members on what the arguments for impeachment are.

This proposal will be going to a vote late tonight, for 24hrs.

This proposal is being classed as non-sensitive so I will be urging congress to discuss it here rather than the PMs, but old habits die hard.


On a side note to the impeachment proceedings, there is a question as to what happens in the event of the impeachment of the CP. We have no explicit guidance in any of the Acts in force and the ingame procedure doesn't exist under a dictatorship. To my mind there are two people who should be immediately considered if they want the role:

1. 2nd Place CP Candidate (Sambo in this case)
2. Sitting vCP (Paul Tyndale at the moment)

My feeling would be to hold a 'vote of confidence' in Sambo as soon as the impeach vote closes if it is positive, then if he loses that hold a confidence vote for Paul. If both lose then take nominations for others.
