Lord Mountbatten couldn't believe his good fortune. With his proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill, Prime Minister Worthington had damaged his own position nearly to the breaking point. He had already lost the support of a large portion of Parliament, two of his Cabinet ministers, as well as a few of his lesser Ministers. As the debate continued, Prime Minister Worthington's base crumbled further and further, and soon he might lose his Parliamentary majority. Lord Mountbatten stood to address the House of Lords.
My Lords, over the last several days our Government has been bitterly divided over the issue of a Constitution. The majority of our Parliament, both here and in the Commons, have indicated their overwhelming support of this issue. Despite such obvious approval, however, opponents to the Constitution have prolonged this needless debate with useless measures, such as the Constitutional Amendment Bill. That such a dangerous delaying tactic would be suggested in a time of crisis simply proves the unsuitability of the current leadership to lead.
The time has come to put an end to this dangerous stalling, and the bickering that has divided us all, and brought our government to a grinding halt. It is time that we come together, and lead Bretonia through the dangers she faces, and into a grander future!
I move that the Question now be put!
Lord Mountbatten returned to his seat, and waited while one of his allies seconded the motion of Closure. All that remained to do now was tally the votes, and to see where things truly stand.
