So what happens when the byelection is called and the same people are elected and refuse to pledge allegiance? Another countdown timer?
It is a tricky situation where two governance structures collide. We really need to modify the constitution such that the GG replaces the Crown in all matters of state. They do all the work already anyway.
I mean for these kind of nut jobs I can't imagine pledging to the GG is actually significantly better than the Crown. I say that because I'm also such a nut job, at least in principle.
