| Message | I am slightly confused. How are they elected? If it usually goes to the 2nd largest party, then is it a yes/no vote on if they get the position? Or can anyone be nominated for it. |

| Message | It means it is a yes/no vote to approve the second largest party. Getting down to the point a yes is for the second largest party with a no for the largest party. |
