Is Parliament Officially Dead This Time?

So after a three-week debate over the sacking of the previous Speaker of the Imperial Parliament, Felix Cavendish, and the installation of a new Speaker, Juan Ciervo, MP from Rio Grande, why is it that our Parliament building still rests in silence. The last piece of legislation to be discussed, the Path to Provincehood Act, still sits idly atop the dispatch box awaiting the new speaker's permission for it to be discussed.

And whilst this legislation gathers dust, the hopper, the place in which all proposed bills are placed prior to debate, still holds legislation first deposited on the 3rd May this year. Quite frankly this is not a way for the central government of an Empire to conduct its business. Now is the time to work through this legislation before whe forget why it was proposed in the first place.

It is at this point that I address legislators, the judiciary and, most importantly, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Edgard II. Today I write this brief article with a plea; please dissolve parliament and call an Election immediately. We cannot allow for this nation's most imortant organ of state to simply wilt and die through its Member's inactivity.
