Standing orders & structure roughly based on the Alberta (provincial) Legislature, with rules not accounted for pulled from Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms
The teams:
The Government Front Bench (TEAM 1)
team consists of the Premier and Deputy Premier, who get BTSC, as well as two cabinet members, who do not
The Opposition Front Bench (TEAM 2)
team consists of the Leader of the Opposition and Alternate Leader of the Opposition, who have BTSC, and two shadow cabinet members, who do not
The Back Bench (TEAM 1 and 2)
consists of nondescript backbenchers, from both sides of the house - because we all know they have no clue what is going on anyway
The Furniture (baddie, kills nightly)
The Mace, the Sergent at Arms, the Page, and the Clerk. All have BTSC
The Speaker (indy)
As a representative of her majesty the Queen, has power bestowed upon him/her that the parliamentarians can't possibly understand (role secrets)
The Lieutenant Governor (indy)
As a representative of her majesty the Queen, has power bestowed upon him/her that the parliamentarians can't possibly understand (role secrets)
The Chief Whip (indy)
"I'm the Chief Whip. Merely a functionary. I keep the troops in line. I put a bit of stick about. I make 'em jump." (role secrets)

Every night period, players will vote on a bill. Every day period, there is a lynch.
TEAM 1 is completely separate of TEAM 2; only one can win, though both are for the sake of argument civvy. The Back Bench can win with either team.
Indies are completely separate from each other, and can only win solo (hence the name).
The last surviving team wins. Possible cases:
1) At least 1 member of Team 1 (government) + any number of backbenchers survive
2) At least 1 member of Team 2 (opposition) + any number of backbenchers survive
3) At least 1 member of the furniture survives
4) Any indy is the last player standing
No prior knowledge of parliamentary procedure will be necessary <3
Needless to say I will be playing this one.
