You think that's mad? You should see Northern Ireland right now. The 'power sharing' (between unionists and nationalists) parliament collapsed, and the First Minister resigned his entire party from office (except one - the finance minister, to stop 'rogue and renegade' nationalists from having access to the money). He will then demand she bring them back every 7 days and re-resign, to keep this shambles going until the Westminster government agrees to suspend our government.
You couldn't write it. It wouldn't even make it into the fluff section of the Empire army book.
