Book excerpt: The election of the Speaker in 2009 was the first to be held under the new rules recommended by the Procedure Committee in 2000. The Committee reports satisfaction that it met the test of enabling the House to reach its decision in a fair and transparent way, and the use of the secret ballot was a particular success. Some improvements, though, are recommended: names of sponsors should be published; the minimum number of sponsors should be increased to 15; hustings should be welcomed but should continue to be run by outside organisations; the time allowed for each round of voting should be reduced to 20 minutes to speed up the process. The Committee has also devised a detailed procedure for electing Deputy Speakers reflecting that used for the Speaker, including the secret ballot, a minimum number of sponsors and publication of the names of those sponsors. Candidates should submit a brief statement along with their nomination form instead of speeches or hustings. The existing conventions would continue: the four Deputy Speakers should be drawn equally from the Government and opposition side of the House; there should be at least one man and at least one woman on the team.

Book excerpt: The Speaker has proposed that the Deputy Speakers of the House of Commons should be chosen by election.

Download or read book Fighting for the Speakership written by Jeffery A. Jenkins and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Speaker of the House of Representatives is the most powerful partisan figure in the contemporary U.S. Congress. How this came to be, and how the majority party in the House has made control of the speakership a routine matter, is far from straightforward. Fighting for the Speakership provides a comprehensive history of how Speakers have been elected in the U.S. House since 1789, arguing that the organizational politics of these elections were critical to the construction of mass political parties in America and laid the groundwork for the role they play in setting the agenda of Congress today. Jeffery Jenkins and Charles Stewart show how the speakership began as a relatively weak office, and how votes for Speaker prior to the Civil War often favored regional interests over party loyalty. While struggle, contention, and deadlock over House organization were common in the antebellum era, such instability vanished with the outbreak of war, as the majority party became an "organizational cartel" capable of controlling with certainty the selection of the Speaker and other key House officers. This organizational cartel has survived Gilded Age partisan strife, Progressive Era challenge, and conservative coalition politics to guide speakership elections through the present day. Fighting for the Speakership reveals how struggles over House organization prior to the Civil War were among the most consequential turning points in American political history.

Download or read book 2010 elections for positions in the House written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Procedure Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 Parliament opened with a series of whole-House elections, to the posts of Speaker, Deputy Speaker, chairs of the major select committees and chair and members of the newly-formed Backbench Business Committee. There were also internal party elections for select committee posts. In this report the Procedure Committee examines these elections and concluded that the move to elect candidates to key posts has been right in principle and has also worked well in practice. They do believe that there are a few improvements that could be made. For example, the names of those nominating the Speaker should be published and the minimum number of sponsors required should be raised from 12 to 15. Candidates for Deputy Speaker should be allowed to make brief statements to the House and provision should be made for the appointment of temporary Deputy Speakers before the election or when a deputy speaker is absent for a prolonged period. A place should be reserved for the minority parties on the Backbench Business Committee. The forthcoming review of the Wright proposals should look favourably upon extending the principle of election to other select committees and statutory committees of the House. The Committee examined the question of creating a Speaker's seat but decided against it. The Committee also endorses the proposals that the House should be given an opportunity to decide whether a contested question on whether to reappoint a returning Speaker should be decided by an open division or a secret ballot
