A less threatening question, yet a question full of suspense may be, whether Ugo is still a member of the MRP. Andy and Jim, who quit the MRP, had already assumed their seats in the CoD before this decision; but Ugo will have to be in the MRP if he wants to replace Andy, at least until he assumes his seat.
As far as I'm concerned, Ugo has practicaly proven that he is not interested in an MRP membership any longer. We didn't hear from him since I don't know when. Since he went on leave without notification we couldn't use our communitcational infrastructure. This all seems to indicate that the doesn't care about his party membership at all.
What does this practically mean? Presently: Only something that has to be kept in mind. I will not dissolve the CoD immediately, not because I'm leaning towards indecisiveness and not because I am not entitled to do so, but because my term is running out soon and I don't think it is wise to amplify a political crisis while I'm about to pass the august powers of the President of the Republic to a successor. He or she should have a fair chance to take on the office without the burden of an inherited crisis.
But as there are intentions to negotiate a fundamental change in our election system, it would be up to my successor to examine the state of the legislating body carefully, if such an important law will be presented to him or her for promulgation.
Last but not least, I sincerly hope that Ugo shows up ASAP to tell us all whether he wants to contribute to the ongoing political debates in the Republic of Talossa or not, in or outside of the CoD, the MRP and what not.
