Constitutional Crises
Lord Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Windsor announced a controversial ruling that forced an emergency constitutional amendment to be introduced in the House of Commons. He declared all Prime Ministers selected since the introduction of the House of Lords illegal. John Smith was elected to be the Interim Prime Minister in a bipartisan action led by Kingborough Edwick. (Written by St. Jon Nassau)
By-election in Northern Ireland and Recontestion
The MP for Northern Ireland was removed after a lengthy debate. At first it appeared as if a by-election would not need to take place, as Steele had only been inactive for six days, however, it was discovered that he had not posted since 21st December, which led to his removal.
(Written by St. Jon Nassau) Subsequently Steele successfully gained his seat back and a byelection was called off
Lord Renounces Citizenship

Prince Edward, upon checking the IP addresses of both individuals it became apparent that they are one and the same. Strider was banned. (Written by St. Jon Nassau)
