Was he secretly trying to booby-trap his truck against theft or just being dense? He's dumb either way, but he sounds like they type to do that.
wait grayven is the prime minister of uk now?
Ah, from one Enlightened Lantern to another. There's just no getting away from the coloured quotes, is there, Mr Zoat? And that's the name of the Enlightened fellow that I keep forgetting! From embittered Police Detective to amazingly-restrained Prime Minister, all because of Grayven busting a secret society of devil-worshippers...
Good luck getting that past all the regulatory groups, somewhat-curtailed political opposition and nutcase conspiracy theorists.
Given the situation... Very?
Not any more, though. With Cosmic Energy Collectors, everybody gets to be happy!
The old 'if it ain't broke, why fix it?' logic eh? Bury your head in the sand and the problem will go away on its own... Guess that isn't working out so well now, is it?
I wish I could comment, but so many of my ideas would run straight into Rule 8...
Ah, name recognition. A solid case of 'better the
Logical enough. Someone's got to provide a voice to say 'Is that a good idea?'
I bet that makes matters awkward. Matters you can't discuss with non-Members and all that...
Ha!Checking in on her work, eh? Making sure he hasn't gone total berserker yet? Despite the quite obvious provocation he gets every day...
That would be an interesting trip to explain to Parliament... "Right, I have to go into another universe to take care of a medical matter..."
Bit late for that, isn't it? His natural environment would be the detective's office of the Yard, or local pubs...
Things are that unsettled still, eh? Good luck, Lantern Talbot...
'Socialist Labour party...' Yeah, that doesn't raise all manner of red flags... Hopefully they turn out to be something of a paper tiger...
Well, his only rivals in that field in this universe might be Adom, Orin, and maybe Rama Khan. Tapping into the larger multiverse brings in President Superman.
Ah, his old-fashioned heroic approach to regime change upset a few international agreements, didn't it?
Unfortunately, the world as it is now can't be ignored so easily, Adom. Ultimately, unless the New Light can head such things off, I foresee it ending poorly, like in the 52 Limited Series, following Infinite Crisis. Some neighbour will get it into their head that they can take him, trigger a war and Adom decides to get Biblical in his retribution...
I suspect the general atmosphere in the UN Security Council is 'Oh god, not again. What did Kahndaq do this time?'
I suppose that might be one way to develop a workforce for his Spacefleet without divided loyalties...
Good to see the New Light doing things the old Light never would. Because they were supervillains.
Well, then...
"Cheeky bastard..." Grayven does like tweaking his allies' noses, doesn't he?
Ah, Sunset's been visiting home, eh? Has she gotten around to seeing her parents, or is she still putting that awkwardness off?
She's probably used to him casually popping out of Hush Tubes by now...
You were expecting her to be upset about something?
Ah... Yes, that would probably qualify as potentially upsetting...Without trying to kill each other? Progress! Let me guess, teaching her about being an Alicorn?
Why do you sound almost surprised? Yes, she has problems, but Celestia is a thousand years old, she's no slouch in the socialisation department.
Yes, that did sound a bit... Yes. It's what comes of her being more-or-less isolated from all concept of peers for so long, after Luna's exile. Given that even the highest-ranked nobles sort of defer to her like an almost religious figure...
And that's an amusing symmetry: Twilight and Sunset, both transitions between Day and Night... If events on Equestria turn out anything like canon (they should be in season Four right now, aye?) The two of them will likely end up being a new Diarchy.
Don't think she's not still annoyed at you about it, though.
Also, who really doesn't want to be, which is one of the things that makes him great for the job.
To be fair, he's one of the saner variety of Red Lanterns, and so probably doesn't do that very often. What I found impressive about him is that he (IIRC) already had Rage Enlightenment when first introduced.
Thank you, corrected.
I think that's okay.
I'm dreading the day when the two of them speak to each other, and I have to use different shades of red in the speech marks.
What regulatory groups? This isn't America. Britain only gimps government power if the politicians don't want to be seen making a decision.Good luck getting that past all the regulatory groups, somewhat-curtailed political opposition and nutcase conspiracy theorists.
They're not even that.

On the contrary: a great deal of value was lost.
*opens mouth*
No, no, the person who shouts 'order' is the Speaker, not the Prime Minister.
...
I actually remember that one!
He achieved enlightenment after all of that, when he was stuck working out what he was going to do with himself for the next thirty years, knowing full well that the people ultimately responsible for what happened were going to get away with it.
If you want to be like that about it, someone in the observers' gallery could just shout out 'order'. But bringing the House to order is the Speaker's job, and they generally do it by saying 'order, order'.
Since the Speaker is in theory neutral while the Prime Minister is generally hated by half the country? The Speaker.
