The law that I wrote clearly states that it is Senators that elect their Speaker: and the Speaker must be able to command the confidence of the Senate.

But you're quite right to bring up the subject of administering votes. Maybe we ought to consider appointing a 'speaker election officer' for electing the speaker/confidence motions? If there's any support for that idea I'll draft a short law creating the post (and making it the WAD by default) right away.

I don't believe a law is required. Either just have Ghant keep track or amend your previous law.

As for voting, I don't thick we'll be going with that poll.

Has the voting finished? I see we have a tie, in which case we will need to have a tiebreaker.

No, as I said it ends Sunday, if theres a tie then, then we'll have a tie breaker.

Naybra: you are quite right to argue that we need no new acts on the books. I shall propose an amendment forthwith.

Only 8 votes have been cast out of 20, and we've still got until the end of the weekend to go, so it's too early to call the vote now.

I would like to thank you all for your support, and promise to serve you impartially and democratically in the interests of maintaining good law and order within the Region. If you have any wishes or complaints, I will be happy to help.

I shall naturally be searching for Deputy Speakers to help maintain order and provide legal advice, so please say here if you would be interested.

I would be interested in standing for the Deputy Speaker's position at least until the next round of elections if there is a lack of interest. However as I am relatively new to Panessos there is probably more members more suited to the position than I at the moment.
