angora24.pl 1 year ago

The exhibition of the current Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will take place on 11 December. The majority of the parliament has already announced that it will not support a vote of assurance for the Government of Law and Justice. As a result, the Prime Minister will be elected as part of the alleged second constitutional stage. The coalition candidate is PO leader Donald Tusk. This procedure includes 3 steps: the election of a fresh government leader, his exposé and his vote of vote of vote of assurance and the composition of the government.

Obsolete urns

Changes are planned in the selection process of the Prime Minister. The current rules of procedure supply for a roll-call vote, which means posting cards with the candidate's name in the urn. This provision was introduced erstwhile there was not yet a strategy to immediately read the results of the vote. Today, specified a process seems very archaic and time consuming. It may take at least a fewer minutes to get to the urn and to put in cards.

With fresh technology, Members can choose the name of the candidate from the list on the device and their roll-call vote is immediately visible in the system. If this strategy works in average Parliament deliberations, it seems natural to usage it besides with specified an crucial vote as the election of the Prime Minister.

🗨 After, I suppose, the deficiency of a vote of assurance for Prime Minister Morawiecki, I will announce a break for the submission of fresh candidates for Prime Minister. The vote will take place on 11 December. On the another hand, the exposé and the vote on the composition of the Council of Ministers will take place on Tuesday, December 12,... pic.twitter.com/CiddQsZyOF

Double vote

The second planned modification aims to remove the de facto double vote of assurance vote for the Donald Tusk government. According to the Rules of Procedure, the Sejm first elects the Prime Minister in a rotation call vote, then the Prime Minister presents an exposure and then in the next vote the Sejm elects the Prime Minister and the proposed composition of the Council of Ministers.

It is unclear why the Sejm elects the Prime Minister twice. Therefore, most likely during the second vote, the Sejm will only now approve the proposed composition of the government.

Donald Tusk again

Donald Tusk was already Prime Minister from 2007 to 2014, but now besides has the chance to re-take this post. The Democratic opposition appointed him as its candidate for Prime Minister. Let us remind you that the new-old Prime Minister must convince 231 Members who will give him a vote of confidence.

Morawiecki will usage 14 days of his government. On 11 December Exposé Morawiecki and voting on the vote of confidence. The prognosis checks out, they usage all day to loot. For the Law and Justice, you don't count, people don't count, election results don't count, money counts. pic.twitter.com/4V2fa6YZgz
