| Message | I would possibly suggest selecting a minority party for the position of speaker, they are likely to be unbiased, as they are not in a position to dominate the chamber. I do not think that the largest party should be able to hold the position at all. The Speaker must be impartial to both major parties to ensure a balance of debate. I would vote for it though, a speaker is an important part of the parliamentary process. |
