Inaction of the Speaker Crippling Parliament

Felix Cavendish, speaker for the Imperial Parliament, is by his inaction preventing the democratically elected institutions of the Empire from functioning. Two bills are still waiting to have their debate started, one of which has been on hold since April 29th this year, the other since May 2nd.

The Path to Provincehood Act and the Private Forums Access Act 2007 are currently sitting in the government's debating chamber with the Prime Minister, Jose Frias, surely growing impatient to the Parliaments forced inaction. In both instances the Prime Minister has been left asking "Is this debate open?" Questions must be asked as to why the Speaker is taking no action, or why in his absense, there is no one substituting his position.

It is the feeling of this writer that not only do politicians have a duty to speed up the governmental processes in Alexandria, but the speaker too has a very important role to play in combatting inaction.
