Once again, we have more by-elections to report upon! On the 4th of November, the King removed Georgiana Kensington from Parliament due to inactivity and a by-election was held on 11 November. The race, which was close, resulted in a victory for the Labour Party in a 6-5 vote for Cameron Romefeller. Romefeller thanked the constituents who elected him, and reiterated that he would fulfill his promises toute-de-suite.
On the 18th of November, Vladimir Putin deleted his account, which was taken by the King to be a resignation of his position as Member of Parliament for Wales. King John then ordered a by-election, soon after which Vladimir created a new account. In a startling turn of events, he debated with the King and regarding the legality of the election in the thread until it was closed by Administrator Jone West. The Prime Minister responded by asking the Supreme Court to decide upon whether an account deletion counts as a resignation. The court's decision is ongoing, and the by-election continues.
On the 26th of November with only 1 registered opponent Harriet Fominov was announced as the new MP for Wales thus ending her term in the House of Lords. With Harriet getting into Parliament the number of Labour MP's rose to 3 officially making Labour the majority party.

John II, King of the British Isles, held a regional summit to discuss the future of the region. Sensing discord and discomfort, the region debated for several days as to what to do. A poll conducted by Prime Minister Tony Benn suggested that the region should consider adding a new level of government. The Prime Minister took the decision that the government should present Green Papers at the first possible opportunity regarding a proposed "Republic of Ireland" government which would roleplay legislation with the existing government on cross-border issues.

The announcement officially goes into effect on the first of December when His Majesty is expected to announce a new Prince of Wales.
