I move that this House be dissolved and a general election be ordered.
(NB Such an election would be the first to include the Blow Stuff Up Party.)

Are you utterly mad?!

HRH in control? I'd rather shoot myself.

Anyway, it can't work. I'll try and explain again.

The Speaker runs the simulation. They are not the leader, they're the administrator. The leader is the Prime Minister, which is still Cieran I believe. I think you're getting confused as to this. The PM is elected in monthly elections. The Speaker is the person who owns the forum and runs the simulation. They cannot be replaced.

Therefore, if the Speaker isn't present, the simulation doesn't run. Simple as that. You can't call for the house to be dissolved and an election called, because in order to do that, you need the Speaker to run it.

The point is to allow someone to be Acting Speaker of the House should the actual Speaker become absent.

There IS an acting speaker. He's only maintaining though, rather than actually orchestrating...

I can't do more because I don't know enough to carry on.
