motg'Get the wagons into a circle!' came the cry from embattled overlord Malcolm Aspirin. 'We must hang together or we shall hang separately!'
This latest edict erupted as a result of The Lads Are Murmuring faction at Bogantown Central, who had decreed that sitting member Kevin Brick was the outside of enough and can we please have somebody else? Someone maybe who believes that the earth is round and really does spin in space?
As a result, all sitting members are to be returned to the starting gate at The Democracy, and the local branch memberships can all get themselves individually and collectively knotted. Those fortunate enough already to have seats adjourned out the back for a smoko and congratulated themselves on having seen off the latest salvo from deposed Emperor Lord Sidious.
Sidious, having encouraged the local members to rid themselves of Brick, was seen to smirk audibly, with the air of a sheepdog who has corralled his flock into the barn which has been liberally doused in petrol. 'I'm not going to be a vengeful ghost,' the Emperor told an agog audience of journalists marinaded in alcohol and schadenfreude. 'You thought Richelieu was a wrecker? You aint seen nothing yet. He lacked ambition. I intend to burn the entire joint to the ground. Apres moi, le deluge.'
Opposition supremo Brian Bollux was last seen practising his Awed, Humbled and Grateful victory speech in front of a mirror, and was heard to remark that he had more dumb luck than Robert the Bruce.
And in other news, journalist Claudia Daffodil was ejected from the House of Shuffles for being improperly dressed. Elderly fossils on the front bench were heard to splutter into their port: 'Gadzooks! I can see her elbows! What's this country coming to?'
Ms Daffodil was seen to lick the top of her forefinger, nod to the Dinosaur-in-Chief and whisper: 'You'll keep.'
