Parliament in plenum[/SIZE]
The Rt. Honourable Fenchurch, immediately after being appointed as the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland, called a by-election for the eleventh available seat in the House of Commons to be held. That seat was left vacant, according to electoral law, after a tie for it occurred in the recent General Election.
Four citizens stood as candidates. The polls were opened on the 12th and, when they were closed on the 16th July 2007, the results were as follows:
Engul [ 9 ] [33.33%]
NatetheGreat [ 2 ] [7.41%]
Lucius Magnus Rex [ 2 ] [7.41%]
Gililand [ 14 ] [51.85%]
The Honourable Gililand was elected in Parliament. Gililand had also stood in the General Election, after having abdicated his title as Marquess of Winchester to be eligible for candidacy, and was one of the tied candidates for the eleventh seat.
