Yip, Ivy's name is still not on that list

 

[Alan]

At least that idiot Erwin is gone

The way I understand it is as follows...

If the pres resigns, cabinet can stay.
If pres refused and cabinet had to oust him, then entire cabinet has to go.

not 100% sure of that but thats what I seem to recall from the last time I looked at the Constitution.

 

[Geriatrix]

Ivy and Manto are still there

 

[mercurial]

Did I read correctly? Minister of intelligence? No such thing.

[Abe]

Were they serving the country or the individual? I say good ridance to all of them...unless they were "recalled" too.

What other means do they have to protest?

Better now - 2.83% down.

The effect of the markets never cease to amaze me - it is the best news service one can get.

 

[Pitbull]

I'm really stunned by the way the markets are taking this

Seems as if they where like "WTF (Great shock) [then], o nvm we have bigger things to worry about"

I'm sitting here holding this wooden desk like there is no tomorrow. I hope this can sail right through under the radar. If this happens we'll be ok
