 ===== Background ===== ===== Background =====
-The February 15, 2023 election cycle is widely regarded as one of the most contentious Melonian elections in its history thus far, with candidates going up against each other in major positions with very differing views. Two new political parties had formed; the [[parties:cbp|CalvinBall Party]], which believes in making a new player’s experience better by providing them with governmental assistance, and the [[parties:mr|Melonia Reborn]] party, which was known for its aggressive campaigning and its controversial poster calling the CalvinBall Party a “welfare party”.+The [[elections:02-15-23|February 15, 2023 election cycle]] is widely regarded as one of the most contentious Melonian elections in its history thus far, with candidates going up against each other in major positions with very differing views.

 In this tough political climate, the Speakership debate of February 8, 2023 came to be. This was a debate hosted by MBC and the Committee for Debates that placed the [[parties:mrp|Melonian Representative Party (MRP)]] candidate for Speaker of Parliament, lainuel, against the CalvinBall Party (CBP) candidate, tz_scion. This debate was seen as significant because whoever became Speaker would have a fairly significant amount of power over the Parliament due to having the power of a tie-breaking vote, and their ability to enforce Parliament rules. In this tough political climate, the Speakership debate of February 8, 2023 came to be.

SNHK was also President Webb’s Prime Ministerial candidate before the events of February 8, but Webb immediately removed him as his candidate and eventually chose Minister of Science awedball instead to be his Prime Ministerial candidate.+Immediately after SNHK was arrested, the Melonian government voted unanimously to kick SNHK out of his Member of Parliament seat.
