PM Act Bounces Backs to the Polls

Following the inconclusive result of the first vote on the President's Prime Minister Act, the act today finds itself back in the Ionad Vótala. The first vote ended when the bill failed to reach the necessary threshold to be passed into law. As a result a deal was brokered between the President, the CPT and the LPT whereby one clause was removed from the section which described the roles of the Prime Minister.

The President yesterday resubmitted the bill with the necessary ommissions. After only a few hours of the revised bill being in the Dáil it was motioned for vote by Alex Garine (LPT at-large) and seconded by Kevin Wilson (CPT at-large). It would now appear that Talamthom is once again on course to get the position of Prime Minister back after it was 'overlooked' during the Consitutional Convention in November. Alex Garine had campaigned that the position wasn't needed and Vindrus York had demanded the creation of a 'Vice-President' instead. In the end both ideas were ignored in favour of the CPT and DLP idea of reinstating the position of Prime Minister.
