This is not needed at the moment, but maybe in the future.

I think it is important to keep that the Assembly Speaker may not run for PM as Speaker. I believe if you want the job, you should take the chance of resigning.

Why’s that? Not sure I agree there

So you are withdrawing your proposal, and would like it tabled?

The Speaker would be in charge of the election they are running.

Yes. We can pull it back out if and when we need it.

Lol great point

For what it's worth, given my proposal failed I would greatly be in support of this. I also think we should pass this *before* we face a staffing problem again so that we don't have to start from square one.
