Proposal: Democracy

enact a rule entitled "Elections" in which:

The position of Gov:Ministry level 5 -- The Emperor can be democratically elected by the members of blognomic.

After an Emperor has served for four weeks, on the fifth week any member of Government may call for a "vote of no-confidence" in the current Emperor.
If a majority of the members of Blognomic vote FOR the "vote of no-confidence" within 24 hours of the initial call for the “vote of no-confidence” then the Emperor is immediately demoted to a Civ:Worker level 1 Floorhand (the Emperor may not VETO a "vote of no-confidence").
If the Emperor is successfully removed then, in the following 72 hours, the floor is open for nominations of candidates for a general election to assume the position of Emperor. The Government Official who originally called for the “vote of no-confidence” is not eligible for nomination. During those 72 hours no new proposals may be introduced but instead each candidate who has been nominated and accepts that nomination shall "Announce Their Candidacy" (i.e. post to the Blognomic community as to why they should be the next Emperor). After the initial 72 hours has passed, the voting may commence. Each Blognomic member may only vote once, and by voting they shall place a FOR vote on the nominee’s "Candidacy Announcement" post. The Candidate that acquires the most votes shall be named Emperor and their reign shall officially start forthwith. In the event of a tie vote the highest non-candidate Government Office holder shall throw the tie-breaking vote.
