DIRECT ELECTION OF THE PRIME MINISTER

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.
