August 13th, Parliament of Greater Sirne
Now came the time that the Lord Protector John Smith had been despising for a long time. It was the time for his authority to be questioned, and possibly overturned. He was accompanied by his cabinet and key intelligence and military leaders through the doors and into the grandiose House of Parliament. Hundreds of representatives had already taken their seat and waited for the Lord Protector. As he turned his head, he sighted the one man he feared most, the Speaker of the Houses of Parliament. Unbearable suspense built up as he banged his gavel and started speaking.
Ladies and gentlemen of our Parliament, today is the day that our nation changes and adapts to the future of our world. We must ask the question, can one man lead a nation of millions. Times have changed, and so have we. Our nation no longer requires a Lord Protector, it now needs a strong republic to lead it into new opportunities. This is why we no longer require an archaic form of government. This is not a dispute between political parties, it is a matter of national significance. This is why today is the day that we vote on the question of, ‘Do we need a Lord Protector?”.
With these powerful words, the voting started, taking hours. The results were read out, and they were largely in favour of a republic.
Now that the representatives of the people have made their decision, the Supreme Court of Greater Sirne will rule on this issue and will give their minds on the matter as soon as possible.
I now pronounce this session of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Greater Sirne adjourned. The representatives may leave as they wish.
The room started emptying and celebrations filled every street around the nation. At night, fireworks lit up the sky. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court worked to deliver a message by tomorrow at noon.
On National TV, the Lord Protector announced his abdication at midnight.
The next day, August 14th
An Important Announcement from the Supreme Court of Greater Sirne
The following is an announcement from the Provisional Republic of Greater Sirne:
At midnight yesterday, Lord Protector John Smith announced his abdication from the title of Lord Protector, at the same time, the Supreme Court authorised the formation of a new state, The Provisional Republic of Greater Sirne and announced the dissolution of the Commonwealth. Effective immediately, the Parliament will lead Greater Sirne through the transition process until general elections take place. Now, the Court has announced that all sessions of Regional Senates have been adjourned sine die, meaning that no date has been given for them to reconvene. All Regional Senates have been dissolved. Now, all major cities and counties will be taking part in a referendum to decide whether they want an election for a new mayor, and letters are being sent out as we speak. All public services, the military, and the judiciary will continue as normal, except for small changes to re-name them. The legislative and executive branches of the government however, have paused their respective duties for the transitioning process. Dates for the General Election will be announced as soon as possible.
