Proposal: Political Upheaval
Create a rule: General Elections
Enacted by Mat Dec. 31, 48 hours pending, over 1/2 current votes are FOR
If the Speaker is ever suspended or removed from the council for any reason, a general election by the public determines a new Speaker from the current representatives in the council. The result of this general election is decided by whatever issue is most important to the people at the moment of the election. Public preference is determined by the deposed Speaker, who posts a comment to the GNDT: Election: DICE. The result determines which of several eligible candidates become the new speaker, as follows:
(1) Fill the treasury! The representative with the highest Mega-Credit total becomes the new Speaker.
(2) Fix the budget! The representative whose budget preferences most closely resemble the current Universal Budget Plan is the new Speaker.
(3) Protect us! The People choose the representative with the highest Oortnot value.
(4) We need industry! The people choose the representative with the most infrastructures.
(5) Chosen successor. Foolishly trusting the one they just threw out of office, the public elects a representative chosen by the outgoing Speaker.
(6) Write-in candidate. Because of a loophole in the election laws, one person was able to vote 75 Trillion times, giving their representative a guaranteed victory. (All non-idle representatives other than the Speaker are equally likely to win - see below.)
In the event that two or more representatives are equally eligible for victory, the Speaker must randomly determine the winner in a way that gives each of those representatives an equal chance for victory (such as using the DICE feature to randomly determine the victor).
If at any given time a single representative has three out of the first four listed qualifications (ie highest MCr, highest Oortnot, closest budget, most infrastructures), any representative may immediately declare a vote of no confidence and remove the current Speaker from the council.
