Yep, if a parliament fails to pass budget “Supply” legislation in Australia there’s an automatic procedure that desolves the government and sends them to an election.

And the public hate elections. Do it to them out of sequence without good reason? You’re not getting back in.

I could see wall street and other traders trading options on the gold under the dragon because it isn’t going anywhere and it’s safe from basically everything.

That market will crash if sufficiently skilled dragon hunters show up though, better ban dragon slaying.
