Winston stumbles over stoned out of his mind, before dropping a lit joint onto the Israeli flag, lighting it on fire.

Luckily, the power of Adonai was at work. The flag had fire upon it, and yet it did not burn. It was a miracle. Michael had the sudden urge to go down to Egypt land.

Dmitri Covasku stands. The sound of clapping and cheering is heard in the chamber.

"My fellow members of Parliaments. I thank you for your kind support as the next Speaker. Due to the recent events that have played, I must reorganized what was being voted it on. For the first week, we will stick to what the former Speaker had up to a vote for this week but, after that, we will get into full swing on how this chamber was meant to be run. During that period everything will be reorganized. Within the PPA, I must appoint three deputy speakers, which I will shortly decide who they will be. Again, thank you for your support and let's do this."

Dmitri sits down and prepares for the new position.

OOC: I will have the new office up by tonight.
