Twilight Sparkle expected parliament to be exciting. Perhaps a foreign dignitary would visit, and some international gaff would require their immediate attention.
Perhaps some terrible war was looming on the horizon, one that only herself, or her fellow princesses could solve, be it through might, tact or subtlety.
Surely, attending parliament with Celestia would be fun!

I wonder if Twilight even heard the "go fuck" part of Celestia's suggestion about leaving. Having to suffer though the mind-numbing minutia of the Senate being a senate and she might have agreed to anything just to get out of there.
Dat ending tho...
That was the greatest punch line for a political story, Bravo!

I already have a mature rated sequel in mind, where Celestia wants a horn job, but Twilight is filibustering until she gets to be the top for once.
I wish I could say that was a joke… but I don't think I have it in me to string that out for 1000 words.
Everyone knows that Parliament is just a gathering of all that is evil in the world
Oh come on! She just has to yell out "I wasn't talking about that!" Problem solved, geez.
5043959 So you can't filibuster a story?
5044240
I see what you did there
Brilliant right on through! Perfect as usual, A-moose.
Incomplete still?
Why is it marked incomplete?
5044631
No.
5044514 5044668
Because I am a mook!
Fixed now. Don't know what else I could add to—
Ooooooooooooh.
5044631
Free interwebs cookie for anyone who can cite the actual parliamentary meeting I based this off of.

Easily solved on Celestia's part:
"... And pursuant to the Magical Substances Control Act of 987 A.E., I will refer Her Majesty's request to the sub-committee for MMMRFF *ack* MMFFF MRPFHH!"
"I'm sorry, what was that, Twilight? You seem to have something in your mouth."
Oh Hi, Scootaloo! We were wondering where you'd gotten off to this fic! :D
Oh Fern they broke Twilight. XD
...Oh My.
5043959
Scootaloo was mentioned? And that one comic about Cadence's origins are canon?
5044866
Couldn't have said it better my self!
As a man who has to occasionally watch parliament for his studies, this story perfectly sums up how awful it really is.
Well done.
that last line almost made me cry
Dammit, I miss editing for you. I wish I had gotten first crack at this read.
I hate being sick.
Highness. Kings and queens are Majesties, princes and princesses are Highnesses.
Oh well. It's a good story but needs a real punchline. The "and then they had sex" thing wasn't even very funny the first couple of times. Come on, put some effort into your ending.
Pahahahahahaha!
After all these poltics stories of late, I think, I, at least, needed that!
The ending has broken me forever.
5045215 Actually, it was originally merely the ruling leader. A duke, if he was the highest member of the royal family in the room, was either your Lordship/Ladyship or your highness. Not that Ladies had any political power, really.
Well, it's still more efficient than the Scottish parliament...
Aaaand the last line ruined it.
5046072
Lots of noblewomen have had some rather impressive political power, as a matter of fact. Anyway, the point is that you don't address a princess as your Majesty. People keep getting that wrong and it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
You seem to have a real talent for hilarious one-liner endings, mate.
And as mind-numbingly boring as the Parliament is portrayed here, it's pretty damn refreshing to at least have the politicians of MLP actually act like real-life boring politicians for once. Just saying, I'd pick the boring bureaucrats instead of the ridiculously over-the-top evil, corrupt, scheming, xenophobic caricatures we see time and time again in fanfics.
But hey, Twilight, be glad your Parliament's just boring and tedious. It could be a lot worse; it could be just like the Changeling Imperial Parliament, with scenes re-dramatized here with human actors:
On the other hand, it's at least an entertaining watch.
Nice fic, mate!
theres a parliament in Equestria?
Dat ending tho.
Love the monty python at the end!
Oh, hey—you misspelled "gaffe" as "gaff" in the story description.
I favorited this, then unfavorited it so I could favorite it twice. Wish you could get credit for both; you should have a separate favorite just for the ending.

i demand two sequels to this
twilights next dinner with cadance
and kinda maby the clop fic
Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.
Do these guys say anything other than 'of the first party of the second party,' etc?
“But that’s… that’s just stupid!” Twilight yelled.
Is it as stupid as when Celestia puts golden statues of herself covered in jewels, etc, in failing towns, SO they'll be ransacked and stimulate the economy because the locals are too proud to accept help?
“V-Very well,” the Speaker called. “The call for the re-allotment of Royal Garden funds towards the upkeep of Orphanages will be suspended for this time—”
-_- Now that's just MEAN by the author.
How does a foal get a tobacco related cutie mark? Even when it was legal, the legal age for purchasing, growing, harvesting or producing was at least eighteen years of age.”
Okay, now that's just horrid.
How in the hell does Celestia have a chance to get ANYTHING done if she's sits on her butt in paralment all day?
Therein lies the road to ‘Beloved Leader’.”
What's wrong with that?
And Twilight wanted to become Nightmare Dusk?
Ironically, the sex bit at the end was the BIIIGEST MEH in the whole story, the rest was DELIGHTFULLY dull. :-p
at least
_____________
Whose saying this? If it's still Celestia [as I suspect], then it needs to be merged with the above bit of dialog. If it's Twilight saying that, why would her dinner be awkward when it was from Twilight's outburst?
__________________________________
This was a good CNN like fic. And it really makes me pity timelines where Tia's Constitutional Triumvirate backlashes by the creation of a parliament [I mean the aristocracy is bad enough, but that right there even makes me want to cry tears of lava and blood out of boredom]. And I really would love to read a fall out fic where Twilight has a family dinner with BBBFF, and Scoots [why's she in the fic?] where she has to explain why orphanages aren't getting funding and Scoots either needs a family quick or learn to survive winter in the CMC clubhouse.

Please put story quotes that you are talking about or referencing into the quote tag. It makes it easier to see between fictional dialog / satire / commentary you're making about the fic as a whole. And comments / responses to actual story quotes as a whole. Otherwise things become garbled.

Scoots was in there kind of as a joke towards the whole scootorphan trope. Was just a stupid little joke.
Plus, you can always get mileage from scootabuse, apparently.
5053581
It wasn't all that stupid. For what it's worth, I'd love to see a ShinyXCadance ScootAdoption fic. It's never been done, and Cadance would make an adorable mother. And that's true. ScootAbuse can get you some decent millage.
5053616
You know, I personally really hated the whole scootahomeless/scootorphan thing.
I do have something kind of in the planning stages around the whole scootorphan thing, though whether it will ever move from my brain to a gdoc is another question altogether.
As for this one, yeah, I kind of think it's done its job.
5053621
It did. And to me it makes sense. I mean with all the other CMC, both as part of a show or in the background with them. They were a part of their lives. Other than Scootaloo. When Scootaloo is sent into a serious spiraling depression nopony is there for her, until her friends and Dashie show up. Neither in foreground nor background does she show up with family. And the house, all save her room is bland, and the yardage of the house is larger than her neighbors. And we can't use house height for measurements since ponies houses are ginormous compared to the outside.
That and I think the ScootAdoption fics are adorable and heartwarming with interesting interactions.
5044704
Of which country?
5043959
Do it, faggot.
Politics can be boring, but if we don't take an interest in it, it will take an interest in you.
No matter how bad it gets, we can't just shrug issues of political importance and assume a single "benevolent" absolute leader will do everything for us, lest we end up with a totalitarian regime. Democracy isn't perfect, but it's better than all other forms tried. Well, maybe technocracy can be an exception, but that has never been implemented.
Well, monarchy isn't exactly better unless you're in fairy tale land, but even the princesses are prone to failure.
The answer is simple, we get these three to set things right and overthrow the elite:

That'd be telling, and ruin half the fun.
I have a solution for politics.
Anarchy.
5073883
In your dreams.
5269962 Yeah, because in my dreams common sense makes a lot more sense. And so do morals. Or at least tge ghosts of morals I have.
Lol what the heck
That ending bro that ending
