Diplomatic immunity can be very easily abused. It's a dangerous thing... By which I mean things like avoiding searches in airports and stuff. The Ambassador could be smuggling... |

Which is why, I they are abused, the Prime Minister can order the expulsion of the ambassador. |

No. The main reason being that that would be considered an act of war, and I'm not running adding that aspect to the game. |

Does this have priority over government bills? If so we must stop Commoncold0 from using this ability to effectively veto government bills he doesn't like |

Not only does it have priority, but you can't reject it. If you vote against it, it just immediatly goes to the vote again. It's a constitutional bill, which means I need it for the game to work. Don't worry - I'm not going to abuse this power - if I was, I would have done so sooner, to prevent the Public Transport Bill going to a vote... <_< |

Well, that would be pointless, wouldn't it? Also, EVERYONE should vote yes to this, simply because otherwise this game is going to go all wrong: standing at 2-2 it looks like we're going to have another day wasted |

Sorry, I can't disregard votes... Anyways, I put this kind of thing to a vote because people would complain if I just stamped "PASSED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR" on it and stuck it in the statute book. |

Nope, I think one of the constitutional bills I passed near the start had a majority of 1... EDIT: Actually it was a majority of two, but this one still gets passed if it has a majority of one. |
