Bannerman, also known by his username BannermanCieurn, is the current Member of Parliament for the Expansia district in Melonia. He was elected by the Expansian citizens on July 15, 2022. He was also formerly the Secretary of Tax Collection in Melonia. He was appointed to that position by President Michael Webb, who created the position to enforce the property tax. The position was abolished by a Parliament vote on July 15, 2022 and all responsibilities of that position are now under the Minister of Finance. Bannerman also founded the Parteife Grejta on June 29, 2022.
Tenure as Secretary of Tax Collection (July 9, 2022-July 15, 2022)
Bannerman did not do too much during his very brief time as the Secretary of Tax Collection in an official sense, although he was instrumental in the past couple of Senate meetings in suggesting new ideas.
Run for Expansian Senate (June 30, 2022-July 15, 2022)
Bannerman ran for the Senate seat of Expansia, and won on July 15, 2022. In the campaign, he wants to bring referendums from citizens into Melonian law; basically, allowing citizens to gather enough signatures to get an item passed into law via a citizen vote. He also advocates for Cieurnish culture and ideals, and wants to add Cieurnish as an official language of Melonia, in addition to English and Melonyc.

Involvement in enacting a Melonian Republic (July 15, 2022-present)
M.P. Bannerman is strongly in support of enacting a claim of the entire world (except the Taladosian colony) and naming the land the Melonian Republic. This proposed nation would use a semi-presidential system. In this system, you would elect two people for the two positions, the same as right now, a President and a Member of Parliament to represent you. The President would appoint a Prime Minister, who is head of the cabinet, and then the PM would appoint a cabinet, which would be approved by the Parliament. The Parliament would approve the PM.
The President would be head-of-state, mostly doing things like executing foreign affairs, giving speeches, being allowed to expunge criminals, etc, etc, while the Prime Minister would run the day-to-day affairs of the government, and would more directly affect citizens. The Parliament can kick the Prime Minister or any Cabinet members out at any time with a majority “vote of no confidence”.
This support has so far led to the renaming of all government positions to match the potential new government, which is why Bannerman is now titled “Member of Parliament” instead of Senator.
Founding the Cieurnish National Party (Parteife Grejta) (June 29, 2022)
Bannerman, along with Vice Mayor JosephineMira, founded the Parteife Grejta on June 29, 2022. In the official political party filing, the Cieurnish National Party states that they advocate for Cieurnish nationalism and direct democracy. They also state that their political leaning is center-left.
