The Interregnum explained
5 comments:
This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.

Hi omits the Conclave process used by the Roman Church to select the successor to the Holy See.
ReplyDeleteOr the option of poisoning the new guy if he appears in any way to threaten vested interests (CF Pope John Paul I )
Cheers
Denis
Oh, Denis, you have picked some doozy examples. Would you care to guest post on these. I would suggest you call it "Interregnums I have known" but then again while you were around for the second instance you were not around for the implementation of the first.
ReplyDeleteA postscript. Better get the Latin right "Interregna I have known". (smile)
ReplyDeleteI also missed Cromwell. Scribbled this one out on the train, not realising it would be re-posted! But thanks for sharing, Miss Eagle, and for your contribution Denis!
ReplyDeleteThx for visiting, Nicholas. I thought your post a valuable contribution. This election takes the cake for absolute drivel and nonsensical questions from the lower orders of the Fourth Estate and general ignorance of the Australian Body Politic. I think your post, brief though it may be, is a contribution to political knowledge. I does me bit ya see to inform! I'll keep watching in case you have a longer train journey and do a more extensive discourse on the topic.
