Senator Ronald has said that he is unconvinced the twin-consul system of government he bought in as the Empire reverted to becoming a republic may not be able to cope with a crisis on the scale of the current war with the Bolitic. The change in the Dino government was seen as the latest attempt by Ronald to find a sustainable way in handing over power which does not result in chaos. Previously he tried to stand down as Emperor but his successor El Diablo proved a miserable failure.
El Diablo is the likely candidate to be the next consul to replace Cruggson and Ronald is thought to be concerned that a republic led by Jimmy and El Diablo would be disastrous. Although he respects both men as able Senators and officers he does not think either is suitable for the top jobs.
One change Ronald may consider could be to relax the rules of succession. Currently ex-consuls cannot stand again for office until 5 years after their previous term. Ronald himself would be eligible next year. Reducing the gap to 3 years could allow him to stand as consul this year.
It is rumoured that Ronald is considering even a return to empire however though not with himself as Emperor. As yet though Ronald does not know who that Emperor should be.
