This order will make it even more difficult for the first minister designate to deal with his critics because they have been proved right.
Similar questions arise in relation to the acts of the executive and that includes the first minister.
First, the first minister must specify the ground of unfitness as inability, neglect of duty or misbehaviour.
Against that background, to give the first minister the ability to influence the timing of elections would be quite out of place.
One can imagine circumstances in which the first minister would not have great difficulty in commanding two-thirds of the membership of the parliament.
In turn, that would lead to the appointment of a new first minister.
Although it would be extremely tragic, the first minister could have an accident.
These amendments would give the first minister a limited role in setting the dates for elections to the parliament.
