Direct Election Of The Prime Minister

EDM number 1664 in 2008-09, proposed by John Hemming on 15/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Ministers.

That this House notes the control that the Executive exercises over this House and expresses concern about it; further notes the public discomfort about changes of the leader of the office of Prime Minister without public endorsement; further notes that complete separation of the estates in the constitution would require the direct election of the executive through a direct election of a Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister; and calls for this option to be considered as part of the debate about constitutional change.

This motion has been signed by a total of 3 MPs.
