Connolly Protocol

The Connolly Protocol, also known as pulling a Connolly, is the act of declaring war as government, and defeating such a motion, therefore leading to the downfall of the government. 
== Origins ==
The origins of the Connolly Protocol trace back to MPSP14, upon which the minister of magic, Michael Connolly, made a motion of war against Frengland. This declaration of war forced a vote of confidence, which the government defeated, leading to the loss of confidence in the house and the fall of the first majority government in Model Parliaments history.
== Controversy ==
Many, including the prime minister of the SWAG government, Erik Koskela, would dispute the Governor Generals ruling, saying that it was not a motion of confidence, nor should it be counted due to limits set on Model Parliament's, and the inability for approved declarations of war. This was seen as an unfair overthrow by Koskela and the PMO, who would work to regain its power. Some still dispute this ruling to this day. 
== Legacy ==
The Connolly Protocol has since been used to take down the CRIMÉ government by David Hickey, under the advice of Jillian Leblanc and Oliver Parker. It was subsequently banned due to its implications and capacity to shift power. However, many believed a hard ban was too harsh, removing it in order to allow for more freedom. This led to the fall of the HOOK-CLASS Coalition who tried to once again declare war on Frengland, and once again failed.
