Although the election results have not officially been validated, all but two votes have been validated and neither of those votes would seem to affect the results of the Senate election. This mean we can probably go ahead and assume that we now know who will be representing their provinces in this house during the coming term. Our former Mençéi has not been re-elected to the senate. I would like to thank Capt. Sir Mick Preston for his service as Mençéi. I think despite the differences we may have had we all appreciated Sir Micks commitment to this office. As Mençéi, he has done a very good job. We now need to nominate and elect a new Mençéi. I would like to start of by nominating Munditenens Tresplet for the position. Alternatively, I hereby second the nomination of any senator who is not me. That is all. Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN Pôl d'Aurìbuérg Brad Holmes Eðo Grischun Magniloqueu Épiqeu da Lhiun Lüc da Schir

This is so exciting for me. EDIT: This smiley is way ugly. EDITEDIT: Out of excitement to be a member of the Senäts, I forgot that I wanted to post something useful. I hereby nominate Senator Glüc da Dhi - with all my respect going to Senator Tresplet, and my gratitude to my predecessor and former Senator Preston for an outstanding job as my province's senator. I have quite big shoes to fill already, and moreover, I do not envy neither Senator Tresplet, nor Senator da Dhi for their possible position as future Mençei.

Although Im obviously flattered by the nomination, I must warn the senators for Benito and MM that I will probably be not a good Mençéi if elected.

That's a serious accusation, Senator da Dhi. Would you care to enlighten us as to why?

I completely endorse the nomination of our Cézembrean colleague. It is traditional that the best candidates for the job show reluctance!

I, too, am flattered to be nominated, and I thank the kind Senator for doing so, but I must join my colleagues in endorsing the nomination of the best person for the job: Senator Glüc da Dhi from Cézembre.

I would like to second the nomination for Munditenens Tresplet.
Let's make this a contest at least.
After all, he needs something to do, since he no longer hold the title of "Minister of Foreign Affairs."

Seeing as Senator Tresplet is endorsing our Cezembrean colleague, I can endorse Gluc's nomination too with clear conscience.

The nomination of you, Glüc, to become the Mençei. I presume.

Well in that case there seems to be a majority of five senators in favour of me becoming the new Mençei. Since it is the will of my fellow senators I will accept the nomination, though I suggest we wait for the electoral commission or the magistrate's cort of whoever to certify the election results before it becomes official.

That's settled then. Thanks to everyone who weighed in on this. I'm not exactly sure what is to be expected of the mençei. If there's anything I'm forgetting, please remind me . Also, if any senators have some suggestions for improving the Senäts experience, they are more than welcome.

Estimats Senatôrs, given the departure of our Mençéi, and pending the seating of our new colleagues from Atatürk and Cézembre, I think we should start debate on who should replace the Mençéi.
The obvious candidate seems to be our longest-sitting member, our recently re-elected colleague from Florenciâ, Senatôr d'Auriberg.
