Twenty-Four Hours has passed since eAustralia sensationally voted in serial pest DocterDry as Prime Minister of eAustralia.
Election experts explain his victory as a combination of pure numbers from the ANP, bored players wanting something different (no matter how dramatic) and a lulz candidate taking away possible votes from the only (though half-hearted) challenger.
DocterDry's win is possibly the 2nd election in a row where there was no real hardcore campaigning between 2 or more candidates.
Are Australia's citizens just getting bored with the game, are the parties to blame for not being active in the media or is Australia lacking a true leader that demands respect.
The first 24 hours of the DocterDry Prime Ministership were watched closely by both supporters and critics of the new PM.
It all got off to a bumpy start with IRC Logs produced, claiming a conspiracy to start a war with New Zealand to wipe Australia and hinder DocterDry's efforts to lead our country.
Things seemed to settle down once admin cleared the voting process and declared DD the winner and all passwords to Government orgs were handed over.
HOWEVER, within the last few hours, DocterDry has used his Prime Minister powers to deny Binda33 a role as dMoI (after being requested to do so by the MoI mbrennan) and despite (though not officially) the speaker traditionally having access to cabinet forum and IRC, Binda33 was shown the door there as well.
Inspector General Ranger Bob quickly swung into action and pointed out the PM is allowed to do take this action, but noted it's normally a courtesy that the Speaker has that access, mainly to keep senate in the loop.
Green and Gold Party media officer Mr Crumpets began investigating to see if the new Prime Minister DocterDry had broken any of he's election promises.
Mr Crumpets found the following from "A Plan for Action"...
Transparency - If i win government, i promise that my government will be transparent and communication will be paramount.
Also from Transparency - ...And i will certainly make article right away if something major happens.
Plus from the Prime Minister's first article... Citizens can expect regular updates like this in the future as soon as ANYTHING happens.
Booting the Speaker from the Cabinet room and IRC is a pretty deal, even if you have the authority to do it.
The citizens of Australia were rightly upset of the lack of communication between senate and the cabinet in the last term.
So booting the speaker, whose access to cabinet was all about keeping the senate informed, is a big slap in the face to voters who voted in DocterDry on his transparency platform.
We also wonder why the PM is yet to publish an article to the citizens of Australia explaining his actions - a year or two ago, any dramtic move like this warranted an article explaining why.
Mr Crumpets also pointed out from DD's Plan for Action, that when talking about his cabinet, DD said...
i can assure you that the people in my cabinet are well known, trusted individuals who get things done, just like me.
So trusted... that DocterDry's first move was to OVERTURN mbrennan's appointment of Binda33 as dMoI.
One must ask, who will be the next cabinet minister to have their decision overturned by the new Prime Minister?
In closing, we quote DocterDry's comments about old players in the "Plan for Action" pledge...
If our country starts to stabilize this will hopefully attract some people back.
Booted people and overturning decisions of 'trusted' people certainly doesn't help stabilize anything.
One must feel sorry for the political party watchdogs, The Green and Gold Party whose motto of "Keeping the Bastards Honest" may see them kept very busy this month.
The big question is... is DocterDry is ticking time-bomb, about to explode... and he if does, what will be damaged in the explosion?

DD as PM - This will not end well
Well........we have seen his Forum av, is elife going to imitate RL history.
I will get my Cabaret outfit & practice dancing & singing, just in case.
(humming "Tomorrow Belongs to Me!!)
Can I please just state for the record. My role is with respect to ensuring the integrity or validity of law, and NOT to express my personal view on what is right or wrong, MC.
That is my function, and I will undertake it without politics or respect to any particular view. Hence why for several months now I belong to NO political party.
Sucks, but in my ethics that is the way to be fair about ALL.
Yawn.
Yawn x2.
Ranger, we already know that. You don't need to keep repeating it. The article isn't about you. This article is about trying to troll me and trying to make me look back
You are allowed to be in the cabinet and im happy for you to be in the cabinet.
Join in with the yawning ranger.
We all know that Ranger Bob, they are just a tad upset that you did not mention how cool their uniforms looked \o/
I yawn in an IG kinda way which doesn't support any particular individual, just makes me look tired 😛
Damn IT! I feel like I am in an episode of Yes Minister!
If you kick your brain up a gear, you would realize that if Discrate wanted binda in his cabinet, he most probably would have offered her a role.
If the roles were reverse, and binda was CP (god help us all) and Discrate was speaker or being inserted into a cabinet position the CP didn't want him in, nobody would care.
I got to say, I kind of feel silly responding to this article seriously.
@Ranger - but I like Yes Minister!
Hinokai hit it right on the head. It's sad to say that there's no principle to this and if the roles were reversed the Opposition's troll army would be hitting the pavement defending their standard bearer's decision and calling the Prime Minister petty.
I for one am glad to see some signs of life from any political party other than our trailblazing ANP. It's a shame the first cab of the rank had to be so partisan and less about substance, only a case of mixed understandings turned nasty for a quick hit in the e-tabloids.
In a sense I guess that's to be expected when the Prime Minister and his team run such a tight ship. So tight that the Opposition has to muck-rake and use up their daily ink ration on a non-event that the Inspector General has ruled is within the Prime Minister's authority
The Speaker will always be kept in the loop when the Senate needs to be lawfully briefed, as will the leadership of our parties and all citizens. Prime Minister DocterDry, in doing just one of those things, has ended up being the most transparent PM in eAustralia's modern history.
The people come first - not raging mediocrities attempting to hold us back.
I just love your ability to keep your articles in balance between hard core trolling and mocking criticism, Mr Crumpets. : D
"I got to say, I kind of feel silly responding to this article seriously"
same lol. It's just crowded house trolling with misinformation as usual.
Please don't promote that sick pic of DD...*vomits*
"but noted it's normally a courtesy that the Speaker has that access, mainly to keep senate in the loop."
It's not a normal courtesy. Prior XG's term, no Speaker was allowed in Cabinet.
@ TJ Norton:"Prime Minister DocterDry, in doing just one of those things, has ended up being the most transparent PM in eAustralia's modern history."
It's his first day... Could your nose get any browner?
Not to defend Discrates actions but its his cabinet. In the end he will be the one responsible. If he doesn't want Binda anywhere near it then so be it. I personally refuse to work with her at all because of her powertrips and dummy spits.
Deal with it people and grow up.
... And this, in just the FIRST DAY
*prepares popcorn*

CH you are entitled to you opinion but please don't try and present this attack article as a GnG party position, we have not had any discussion on this at all.
From my understanding the GnG party is a neutral party and will judge DD term on how he performs, not set out to deliberately derail it because of petty grudges.
@AVT - Though this article is of my personal opinion (not of the GGP), the role of the GGP is that of the watchdog.
However, we don't just watch DD, we also watch the senate, including that stupid lulz vote by VC (our own party member) *sigh*.
That is true CH but I dont think your article presented DD's side of the issue.
*highfives Arthinian*
Viado just wants to become CP by getting DD impeached then a week later Nelson, imho. xD
