I am preparing to write a script for a movie. ‘Confidence Vote’.
Of course, it is political. There is an introduction of a Canadian forest with falling, colour-changing, leaves through which can be seen a column of prestigious mounted police (All actors). Then a drone’s-eye view of the Canadian flag atop the parliament building (The previous one). In the background one can hear the music — The March of the Trudeaus.
Scene I: The PM happily telling the ex-AG that she has been awarded the post of MVA. Fade to a horde of excited media.
Scene II: The new MVA happily telling the PM that she will resign. Fade to imaginary TV studio screens, to the sound of clattering keyboards.
Scene III: The ex-AG (For want of a title) is seen sitting at an investigation committee table facing a mixed number of members sitting at an artificially-raised bench (Artistic licence). On one side are a number of recognizable and respected members, and on the other side sits a number of undergraduate interns (All comedic actors). Thus, follows, a humorous. yet agonizing, period of questioning where the ex-AG is heard to answer effortlessly.
Scene IV: Fast forward -- General Election; The PM, fearful of removing the ex-AG from caucus, loses a Vote of Confidence from his party and consequently, his position as Party Leader. Fade to foreign TV screens and unintelligible voices.
Scene V: The ex-AG wins her seat with a huge majority … and becomes the new PM (Just an assumption).
Scene VI: Unable to accommodate the ex-PM within the Cabinet, he is offered an important diplomatic post as Canadian Ambassador to … China.
What do you think so far?
