"Yannis Xydakis."
A man no older than 50, Yannis Xydakis was slightly overweight, though not enough that it one would think his health was at risk. His mind, however, was one of the sharpest in the House of Commons. As she had once said, prior to her election as Speaker, Anna thought it was a shame that Xydakis lent his considerable intellect to the Internet Freedom Party, yet that was reality. He stood, adjusted his glasses, and then he asked the same question he asked every new Prime Minister, on their first PMQ.

"As mandated by the Fair Internet Access Act, the periodic revision of net neutrality regulations is due in July. Can the Prime Minister assure the public that net neutrality will be preserved, and that he will make it a priority for his government to work with the Internet Freedom Party to permanently codify such rules in an updated Fair Access Act?
