She's your MP, right? Your database entry doesn't mention her having any sort of seat in Parliament (no wonder, who would elect a teenager with blue hair? xD), so if not, I don't think she would be allowed in.

Zephaniah Kruger is exasperated. He's super tired, with nowhere in the city to go, so he decides to just slump into his chair and fall asleep again until something happens.
