Speakership Election, November 2020

The Speakership Election of November 2020 was triggered after Andrew97 resigned as Speaker of the House of Commons.
== Candidates ==
In the speakership election, there were initially three candidates:
- Miss Maddie stood as a candidate on a constitutionalist platform, stating in their manifesto that the Constitution is above all other sources of decision making. Despite impressing some, Maddie was withdrawn from the running after being caught as a dupe, as part of Maddiegate.
- Connor27 stood using an exact copy of the manifesto of Tanqueray91, who intended on standing until relatively late on deciding to withdraw his intention to stand. Though this was criticised, Connor proclaimed that he agreed with the manifesto and the platform it stood on.
- BosslyGaming, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, stood as a relatively last minute candidate. He pointed to his administrative experience as Labour's Chair and in other places. Though proving a popular 'sensible' option, Bossly decided to withdraw from the election, stating that he had unfinished business in Labour and was not ready to leave.
The election was won by Connor27, the only candidate who stood at the voting stage apart from Re-Open Nominations, hence he became the Speaker-elect. Connor was officially made the Speaker on November 24, with his first nightly update being on November 26.
