''In Parliament, the twenty-ninth of June in the year of his Lord, seventeen forty-nine. ''

A motion has been put forth within His Majesty's Parliament to initiate a merger between the committee known as the "Privy Council", and HM's Cabinet. The reason for said proposed merger is because the Privy Council historically would meet periodically with the sovereign to discuss matters of state, but in our Britain, that role has all but been taken up by the Cabinet through the HCO Skype group chat. Our Privy Council also solely consists of members of the Cabinet, along with two additional members who aren't on the Cabinet. If this motion passes, the Prime Minister could easily keep these two additional members on the Cabinet as Ministers without portfolio, or could relieve them from their position.

My proposal is that the Cabinet will henceforth be known as the Privy Council, and thus only cabinet members will have "PC" added to their titles. The Lord President of the Council, as it was known, could take another office (I was personally hoping he would occupy the Attorney-Generalship, as that is an important office that is yet unfilled and unmanned and responsible for prosecution in trials). The other option for the Lord President is to completely dissolve the position and it's place as sixth member of the HCO's, as the sixth position has, since the absorption of the Chancellor of the Exchequer by the PM, served no purpose in the government and has functionally done nothing since then.

The passage of this article will also require an amendment to the Seperation of Authority Act passed in Parliament in April of last year, that will state that the Vice Chancellor rank is hereby obsolete (and has been for half a year), and the Vice Justice of State will be bestowed to another Cabinet member, at the behest of HM the King.

Members of Parliament are authorized to use the { {Support} } and { {Oppose} } templates as they cast their votes.

Thus I, the Earl Grey, stamp my seal upon this document and present it to Parliament.

Lord Speaker, The Earl Grey
