Dino Elders vote for change

As commentators largely expected, the Dino Elders have voted for democratic change to the Dino State. Emperors Ronald and Jimmy announced the results of the vote today at a media briefing at GHQ. The Elders voted on a number of issues in a series of ballots and then held a final series of votes at the end of their meeting. The changes are summarised as :
  • One Emperor will stand-down, its expected that Ronald will choose to do this
  • The Senate will be increased to 12 members, future Emperors will be elected from this extended body. The membership will be announced later.
  • A new elected body to replace the Elders, details of which to come later
  • Extended democracy at the local level
Now the rush is on to form political parties, one party that already is on the ground is Lakes' Veritas = Truth party. Lakes gave a speech to party members after the media briefing where he told them it was prepare for government!
