Enhancing Accountability and Trust in Government (Revised Wording) - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘mandate’ and insert:
‘as a means of frustrating operation of the devolved institutions; and further calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to write to the UK and Irish Governments to commence a programme of reform, to include an amendment to the Pledge of Office, the introduction of weighted majority voting for the election of the Assembly Speaker, restrictions on the application of Petitions of Concern and cross-community votes in the Assembly and Executive, and measures to allow the next largest party to nominate a First or deputy First Minister if the first eligible party is unwilling to do so, so no party can veto the operation of Government.’
