I want to dissolve parliament so I can have an election ok??? William Lyon Mackenzie King

Okay, sure! Lord Byng of Vimy

Damn, I only got 100 seats this Election.. And conservatives got 115..Oh well, the Progressive party will back me..I guess I won’t resign!

October 30th Okay Byng..my government is going to continue until parliament says otherwise. October 30th

"Well, in any event you must not at any time ask for a dissolution unless Mr. Meighen is first given a chance to show whether or not he is able to govern."

Minister of Customs..you’re fired!! Get your butt to the Senate! a political scandal in the Department of Customs and Excise became public, and in Parliament the Conservative Party alleged that the corruption extended to the highest levels of government, including the Prime Minister.

Ok Byng, I really need you to dissolve parliament bro..

WOW…..what a doofus. Sry bro, can’t do that..

Holy, don’t make any rushed decisions.. consult the British gov first..

Omg.. How many times do I have to say no.

Sorry Meighen, we’ve lost confidence in you

dissolution of parliament? Byng will you grant me dissolution of parliament? Arthur Meighen

Ya, sure.

After the election The Liberals were returned to power with a clear majority and King as Prime Minister. King's government sought to redefine the role of Governor-General as a representative of the sovereign and not of the British government. The change was agreed to at the Imperial Conference of 1926.
