Mr. Prime Minister:
I rise to renew my call that you dissolve the current government and call for elections.
The RUMP—those advocates for a toothless poodle King—have splintered because of their premature advocacy for a particular candidate for King. An appreciable segment (particularly appreciable if using a microscope) of the party has reformed itself as the The Defenders of the Throne.
The CLP—those toothless advocates for a poodle King—are starting to lose members because of their lack of leadership on the monarchy issue.
Mr. Prime Minister: as you know, this is a parliamentary government.
If you feel that you don't have the majority of votes that you need to undertake some goal of your administration or party, you have the power to seek a re-alignment in the distribution of seats by calling for new elections.
Plainly, the current government was not elected to determine who would be the next King or Queen or what powers they would wield. I, for example, would never have voted for the RUMP had I known that they would put forward legislation to make Sir John Woolley the King of Talossa without a decent—and officially described—interval of debate.
It cannot be disputed that the issue that faces us now is the Monarchy. This is without a doubt the most important issue that faces the Kingdom. Calling for an election based on this issue is the right thing to do.
I note that the banners above Wittenberg proclaim that "discussion" and "debate" are happening about the Monarchy issue. But I also note that no one has said that the Woolley "Woo-Hoo" bill hasn't been or won't be Clarked for the next Clark. Will the discussion and debate period abruptly end when the Woolley Woo-Hoo-ists decide it's over?
Mr. Prime Minister, give us some structure. Call for elections. Lord Hooligan has provided a starting point—though not a particularly commodious starting point—for a debate. Please use your constitutional power to shape this debate in a way that we all will feel is fair.
If Sir John Woolley is to be King, wouldn't it be nice if a goodly chunk of the nobility would bow before him without coughing?
