US EditionCommons committee proposes biggest shake-up of Stormont since the Good Friday Agreement
- The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee proposes changes to power-sharing in order to stabilize the Stormont government. This includes rebranding the offices of First and Deputy First Ministers as Joint First Ministers, who would be elected by a two-thirds supermajority. Any two Members from any two parties would be eligible for election.
- The committee recommends reforming Stormont rules so that a speaker can be elected by a two-thirds majority of Members of the Legislative Assembly , as well as for the election of first and deputy first ministers. This is aimed at restoring and stabilizing the power-sharing institutions.
- The committee suggests that a full independent review should be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the institutions of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. A fully functioning Stormont is viewed as foundational for the rest of the review.
