That takes two nweeks (one to call a Vote of No Confidence, one to 
elect a new Minister), and also isn't always the solution.

Right now, for example, I don't want to evict Zarpint from the Ministry 
of the Arena; but I'd quite like to go ahead and roll some dice myself, 
so that I know what I can and cannot do right now (I'm leaving town 
again tomorrow afternoon, so the fact that I don't know the outcomes of 
a number of rolls right now means I may not get to take any Arena Turns 
this Checking Period).

This doesn't mean we can't evict ministers if they repeatedly fail in 
their duties. It just means that if a Minister suddenly leaves town or 
otherwise can't work for a few days, other players are empowered to 
step in and keep the gamestate up-to-date.
