| Message | OOC: The HOS get elected by the game's election system via 2 rounds (French system) - this allows the most democratically supported party to lead the government. However I am going to add a caveat to this: anyone who is Lord President will be ennobled at the rank of Esquire if they are not a nobleman already - as only nobles can hold the office. |
